You know, I do believe that "what works for me may not work for others", "YMMV", "let's all just get along" etc... and I do hear folks saying that here with one breath... but in the next breath using terms like "high-fat is unhealthy", "avoid extreme diets", "ketones and protein will damage your Kidneys" etc... none of which has any proof forthcoming. So which is it folks?
Give me a break, Frank. Get over it. High-fat diets are generally healthy. Stop the game. There is probably not one single factor in anbody's situation, here. But a common factor in many diseases? Obesity. Not the only factor, granted, but a very common one. And a very common way that one becomes obese? Caloric intake exceeding one's needs. Not the only way, but a common one. And yes, there are studies and plenty of evidence that proves that fact. I'm sure if you WANTED TO, then you could find them. I have researched some of your past threads - I'm sorry that you seem to be so caught up in "proving" what you want to, and having a scientific explanation for your situation, that you don't seem to have time for anything else. Maybe if we spent have the time exercising as we do on our computers, then we would weigh less and need less insulin. But wait!! Don't bother - I don't know that there is a study that shows that more activity = weight loss = less insulin need. Oh, wait!! I have experienced that. Just as I have experienced more activity + fewer calories = weight loss and better control. But, I am not a scientific study. Just a person living it.
