We recently proposed that the biological markers improved by carbohydrate restriction were precisely those that define the metabolic syndrome (MetS), and that the common thread was regulation of insulin as a control element. We specifically tested the idea with a 12-week study comparing two hypocaloric diets (approximately 1,500 kcal): a carbohydrate-restricted diet (CRD) (%carbohydrate:fat:protein = 12:59:28) and a low-fat diet (LFD) (56:24:20) in 40 subjects with atherogenic dyslipidemia. Both interventions led to improvements in several metabolic markers, but subjects following the CRD had consistently reduced glucose (-12%) and insulin (-50%) concentrations, insulin sensitivity (-55%), weight loss (-10%), decreased adiposity (-14%), and more favorable triacylglycerol (TAG) (-51%), HDL-C (13%) and total cholesterol/HDL-C ratio (-14%) responses. In addition to these markers for MetS, the CRD subjects showed more favorable responses to alternative indicators of cardiovascular risk: postprandial lipemia (-47%), the Apo B/Apo A-1 ratio (-16%), and LDL particle distribution. Despite a threefold higher intake of dietary saturated fat during the CRD, saturated fatty acids in TAG and cholesteryl ester were significantly decreased, as was palmitoleic acid (16:1n-7), an endogenous marker of lipogenesis, compared to subjects consuming the LFD. Serum retinol binding protein 4 has been linked to insulin-resistant states, and only the CRD decreased this marker (-20%). The findings provide support for unifying the disparate markers of MetS and for the proposed intimate connection with dietary carbohydrate. The results support the use of dietary carbohydrate restriction as an effective approach to improve features of MetS and cardiovascular risk.

Ragivrao in my opinion calorie wise consuming food is some how benefit but it may not perfectly accurate. You may seen athletes sportsmen and hard worker lif weighter have taken heavy food including carb protein and fat also.
Some how fats may not necessary to consume directly We may by preparing breakfast add some high fat and add fatlike butter ghee to every salads etc
the calorie is good for obesity persons to decreases the wt.
In Ayurvedic system to burn the fat they advise to eat ghee . They treat Ghee as fuel if we consume more it burns excess of fat istored in the body .
Excess of food whatever we may consume it became fat and triglycceroide
I am not perfect wether heart and kidney problems may used good fats like butter ghee and VCO but some how some of the members opinion it is not effect the body
But in my opinion it is the person body resistance and his workand activity life style is required.
Similarly Carb it is main source of food in mostly south India If we consume more it spikes blood sugar more because carb observes body immediatly at the moment of startingeating food .
That is why for serious and coma patients the Doctor given glucosedrips immediately and also advise diabetes to brought chocolates or glucose tablets whenever you go outside for safer side.
My individual opinion i fwe consuming food it may not digested and also not to eat food until we starbving
One thing is I am examine myself with glucometer reading consuming of some less carb bs reduces. By this method I am eat idli, dosa upama by very lowquantity with maximum of vegetavbles add and quantity is consuming according to bs level. So as this way now I am reduce all tablets before consuming . Now Iam taken only
Glimepride 1 mg in morning and 500 mg Metformin SR at night I am not taken ral insulin until so far
No BP tablets taken my Bp range is also130/82
Can you please share your diet plan and drugs if you consume ?
I have type2 diabetes. I am 74 years old. I am on LCHF diet. 800 calories a day, for five weeks now. 3 weeks to go. I have lost 9% weight(so far), blood glucose levels down to pre diabetic levels and decreasing. I am adding more activities to my exercise regime, and I am feeling well and very cheerful. Oh yes, and I never feel hungry! No more snacks, I hardly need breakfast (but I do have some most days) I have also halved my dose of metformin, to one 500 mg a day. Also my blood pressure has come down to acceptable levels (average 128/68). This is enough proof for me to be confident that LCHF diet works, conclusively. Even the higher dose of metformin did not produce these results. And certainly my previous dietary habits, which consisted of normal amounts of bread pasta potatoes and high sugar stuff, did nothing at all for me. JanR
Thanks for your comment posted. As you are at now 74 years your BP 128/68 very good health . As you are following LCHF how much fat you consumed . Weather are you vegetarian or non vegetarian. It is difficult to maintain in LCHF just 800 calories Please share your complete dialy consuming food.
Someof the members in some of previous discussion pointed out fat is not good for heart problem and aged person and it difficult to digest.
Please share your expereince about fat consumtion and how long you have T2 and what is theblood sugar level recently
I'm guessing, about 1300 - 1600 normally. When I was overweight I was consuming much more than that. I am moderately active, but at 74, it takes more than exercise to get the weight off! My ideal weight, which I haven't achieved yet, is about 147 lbs. I am 5' 7" tall.
HI, I am not vegetarian. The diet I am following has been worked out by someone else, and it is strictly no more than 800 cal a day. I have not been tired, run down, bloated or hungry.
I can't give you exact quantities. I have stopped eating bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, pizza, cakes, biscuits, sweets etc. No more sugar. I know I can have yoghurt, butter, full milk, cream, creme fraiche, cream cheese, nuts, food cooked in olive oil, oily fish.....these are the fat type things. I also eat chicken (no skin), a little ham, white fish, pork, lamb, prawns, smoked salmon, beef steak, eggs, cheese (cheddar and feta, ) avocado, eggs, green salad leaves, in fact all salad veg, cauliflower, green beans, sugar snap peas, celery, leeks, onion, carrots, courgettes, peppers, aubergine, mushrooms, beetroot, blueberries, apples, pears, strawberries, goji, pomegranite, lentils, all sorts of beans, chick peas (yuk), seeds like flax...... All things in moderation, spread out through the weeks in smallish portions.
As I understand it, those fat foods which I used to dread because they would make me fat, are all ok. They are used by my body to give me energy.
I have been eating like this for 5 weeks, and already I have taken on two more dance classes, making three altogether, and I endeavour to indoor cycle the other 4 days of the week. I also have a heart problem, atrial fibrillation. This is an arrythmia, and it may be coincidental, but that too seems to have improved. I am hoping that my nafld is also going. (Non alcoholic fatty liver disease)
I have had type 2 diabetes for about 5 years. No one, (doctor or diabetes nurse) ever suggested I should cut out carbs, or eat fat food. I found this vital information for myself, and my husband is also benefiting from it. He has lost even more weight than I have.
I did a lot of research on the internet, and came up with my perfect solution. There are people out there who know what to do, and have no commercial interest, so they tell the truth. They have done the science.
I will appreciate if you can give more details like what to eat and what not to eat . I have Diabetes since past 18 years and heart angioplasty done 5 years back , need advise .
I can't really advise, I'm not qualified to. All I can tell you is my experience, and how it works for me. I don't have your particular medical problems, and I'm sure each individual needs to tailor their requirements to suit himself, with the help of his doctor. All I know is that the low carb high fat diet is working for me.
