| Fat Anyone?
Oh, the subject is not your body mass index. The subject is fat in the diet. The posts indicate many of you are on a low fat diet which implies a fear of fat in the diet. There is a constant bantor over the carbohydrates as there should be, since errors in carbohydrate metabolism is at the heart of diabetes. Fat is not discussed enough. This leaves the newbe visitor to the wedside with a blind spot in the dietary of the diabetic. Therefore, I wish to start a discussion that is summerized by the following conjecture:
The end point in most successfull diabetic diets is to, as much as possible, replace carbohydrate calories with fat calories. Only through this substitution can the diabetic achieve reasonable glycemic control and also have sufficient calorie intake to power his body.
You guys and gals may find this boring. |
