The Low Carb Diabetic

The Low Carb Diabetic

Carbsane aka the bloated blogger complains of Ad hominem attacks !

Posted: 22 Apr 2014 03:41 AM PDT

Surfing around the internet you get to see it all, especially on US health and diet related sites. Well know serial stalker, and self confessed morbidly obese Evelyn Kocur aka Carbsane, has attacked countless people on her blog. Just about every well know blogger in the low carb and paleo world has been rubbished by EK. One thing i will never understand is how a morbidly obese person, has the effrontery to comment on others, with weight problems and act as authority on weight loss and diets. As you can see below, EK believes she can rubbish anyone 24/7 but when people comment on her, she shows her true colours, she can dish it out, but squeals like a stuffed pig when the tables are turned. Note this "Maybe I'll just drop Tess or Galina's real full names into every other post here until she comes out or Eddie shuts up or both or whatever" Does the bloated one think I will back down to blackmail ? She is more deranged than I thought if she believes that's going to happen. She can't get to me, so she threatens my friends. And this behaviour from a School Teacher, how standards have dropped in the world of education. Still, in this world you get what you pay for.

"Oh lordie I'd recognize Galina Bedeveled's fake broken English anywhere. Last time it was loose skin. I'm surprised she doesn't address that guy as Eeddie, though she seems to have learned to spell Jimmy ... for years he was Jemmy. Can't wait for her next comment on how her advises landed a young lady in the hospital with ketoacidosis over on Nurse Natalie's wee wee pad. It would appear old NV has an "out wish" these days. I'm happy to assist if she'd like, but the Menlo Park Mall Sephora is a bit out of my way (grin). Maybe I'll just drop Tess or Galina's real full names into every other post here until she comes out or Eddie shuts up or both or whatever.
If you really believe in your cause folks, blog about it, bring the science, go for it. Ad hominem attacks on me aren't going to bring you anything but the wrong kind of attention at this point. But it would appear that's what "Jane Plain" wants, because there is no other explanation for her reckless behavior."

The last troll that turned up here tried to test me, he's not around any more. Some say I ate him with a wonderful selection of non starchy vegetables, and a couple of bottles of very memorable Barolo. Mind you, you can't always believe what you read on blogs and forums. Tell me Charlie, have the lambs stopped screaming in the night? Now you run along now Charlie, fly fly fly.

A Non-calorie-restricted Low-carbohydrate Diet is Effective as an Alternative Therapy for Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 03:10 PM PDT

Absract

Objective Although caloric restriction is a widely used intervention to reduce body weight and insulin resistance, many patients are unable to comply with such dietary therapy for long periods. The clinical effectiveness of low-carbohydrate diets was recently described in a position statement of Diabetes UK and a scientific review conducted by the American Diabetes Association. However, randomised trials of dietary interventions in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes are scarce. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effects of a non-calorie-restricted, low-carbohydrate diet in Japanese patients unable to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet.

Methods The enrolled patients were randomly allocated to receive a conventional calorie-restricted diet or low-carbohydrate diet. The patients received consultations every two months from a registered dietician for six months. We compared the effects of the two dietary interventions on glycaemic control and metabolic profiles.

Results The HbA1c levels decreased significantly from baseline to six months in the low-carbohydrate diet group (baseline 7.6±0.4%, six months 7.0±0.7%, p=0.03) but not in the calorie-restricted group (baseline 7.7±0.6%, six months 7.5±1.0%, n.s.), (between-group comparison, p=0.03). The patients in the former group also experienced improvements in their triglyceride levels, without experiencing any major adverse effects or a decline in the quality of life.

Conclusion Our findings suggest that a low-carbohydrate diet is effective in lowering the HbA1c and triglyceride levels in patients with type 2 diabetes who are unable to adhere to a calorie-restricted diet.

Eggs Mimosa with Artichoke Tapenade

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 07:29 AM PDT


Here's a new recipe from the fantastic Simply Recipes site, low carb easy to make and no doubt delicious, it's on our list to try soon, especially with the summer upon us. Full recipe and instructions here.

"Since most of the egg yolks are used to create the mimosa affect, we need to stuff the egg whites with something else. For this recipe we use an artichoke tapenade, made with artichoke hearts, green olives, capers, fresh herbs, and some mayonnaise to bind it all together. I've also tossed some grated Parmesan into the mixture, because it just tastes good with the artichokes. You can leave it out if you want."

Don't you just love the simplicity of fresh whole foods and the low carb lifestyle.

All the best

DCUK Quote of the week !

Posted: 21 Apr 2014 07:19 AM PDT

"The (not very) funny thing is that my entire life I struggled to keep my weight in check with HCLF regimes, and a horrible struggle it was too. I was constantly hungry, and sometimes I couldn't sleep because of it. Dante's Inferno had nothing over my carbs cravings.

Then I was diagnosed as diabetic, and I started following the LCHF regime to manage my blood sugar, weight loss being the last thing in my mind. Imagine how dumbfounded I was when not only my blood sugar improved enormously, but weight started falling off me like if I were melting.

The big lesson to take out of this is: fat doesn't make you fat."
