The news about how to cure diabetes will come as a shock to the medical Establishment. But the science is now in after years of denial. Medicine has supported low-fat eating for decades, but we realize now that it did not work:
* people just got fatter and fatter
* obesity and diabetes rates increased dramatically
* carbs became the nutritional darling of all the so-called "experts"
You heard it here first -- fat and cholesterol were never the cause of diabetes and obesity. It was carbohydrates that were doing the damage. This statement will rattle the entrenched dogma. Why did all the brainiacs not know this? Because belief systems drive medicine. It tells us that facts do, but that is patently false.
Why did the Establishment believe that fat was bad? It's a long, sad story, but it has a lot to do with bias and self-promotion in medicine and science. It felt that the fat you ate became the fat that damaged body tissues and then stored as fat. However, the facts of biochemistry tell another story -- it's actually carbs that the body converts to fat!
Do these new insights rock you? The public has been blind-sided because no one took the time to go to the medical library and do a little research. That would have shown that by 1950 the biochemists knew that the body converts carbohydrates to fat and the fat we eat does not become the fat in and on our bodies.
Starting during the early 2000's explosion of interest in low-carb, young, unbiased researchers set up some very good experiments to study the diet. What was the outcome? The results disproved all the negative statements that had been made during the last four decades:
* the low-carb diet out-performed the low-fat diet and the Mediterranean diet in weight loss and fat loss
* dramatic stabilization and lowering of blood sugar
* reduction in the dangerous fats
* the recommended low-fat diet was defeated by the low-carb diet
The low-carb or carb-restricted diet will help diabetics dramatically improve their health. And it works fast because your metabolic systems begin to change in as little as six hours. Your body switches very quickly into a fat-burning mode and decreases its reliance on blood sugar as a source of fuel.
Metabolic Syndrome is a common health problem today. It's characterized by several major abnormalities including:
* too much body fat, overweight, and obesity
* diabetes
* heart and vascular diseases
* increased blood pressure
It turns out that carbohydrate restriction may be the most logical approach in Metabolic Syndrome and diabetes and should be considered as the "default" dietary choice. It's likely the most effective approach in normal weight people who have Metabolic Syndrome and who do not want to follow a drug-based protocol.
The research is clear: the health-touting benefits of a low-fat diet were downright wrong and the science now stands behind this statement. The low-fat diet that was high in carbohydrates elevated blood fats and blood sugar leading to deadly changes in the health of the public.
A more disastrous combination could not be conjured up by Satan himself. Learn all about low-carbohydrate nutrition and whatever you do, don't use Dr. Atkins's plan and don't do the South Beach Diet -- it's not even close to being a low-carb diet.
