Some members have been asking me "What exactly is the Low Fat Plant based Whole food?" And any links to know more about this Diet?
This made me to make this post for the benefit of all of those who are interested to know more.
Well as the name indicates- it is Low in Fat and it is a Plant Based Whole Food with minimal processing, and when we eat a varieties of Green vegetables including a liberal quantity of Leafy Greens, Legumes , whole grains, Fruits , could provide all the Macronutrients and Micronutrients that Men need for their overall Health.
Since it is a 100% Plant based diet, obviously the Diet have (1) No Animal Protein (2) No Animal Fat (3) No Egg and Fish (4) No Dairy products- since Dairy products have Animal Protein & Fat.
Since the Diet is Low in Fat, so all varities of cooking oil/Fat from both Veg & Non-Veg sources to be eliminated from the Diet. Even Nuts of all kinds need to be restricted as nuts are rich sources of Fat.
The list of Green light/ yellow/Red light food is as per the link below.

Initially when I read through the Book " mastering diabetes" by Cyrus khambatta, I was bit skeptical at this kind of Diet.
Then I went through the research papers in the book and later in their Mastering Diabetes website link .
healthunlocked.com/api/redi...
Still I was not fully convinced....
Then I thought Cyrus khambatta- the author of the book himself is a Type1 diabetes since childhood...He is MD, Ph.d and he writes that he reduced his insulin requirement by 50% with this diet...he confidently says that he can stop progression of insulin resistance and even reverse in case Beta cells are still healthy in type 2..... And then I read there are 1000's of diabetes Type1/1.5/2 enrolled in his program who are posting their results/positive feedback in the face book - if you google "(free) mastering diabetes facebook" ....you can get the link of the face book account..
From the Mastering diabetes web-site link pasted above ....you can read through the blogs...
I still was wondering...how the LFWFPB diet would help diabetes ?
I continued my further research and got links from the face book about a lot of other researchers who have done similar work on low fat plant based whole food....what I found there is very little difference in the dietary pattern among all these well qualified researchers....all are allopathy M D. Doctors who have closed down their allopathy clinics/ left hospital Job in order to dedicate their research into plant based whole food....all of these Allopathy doctors now running naturopathy clinic where they are enrolling patients those are badly seeking a solution for their nagging health issues. And the beauty part of it is that their program and all research studies along with their advice is freely available in their websites/Social media Facebook/YouTube...there is no patent ...no selfish motive....they are all against allopathy medication......so they get no financial aid from Pharma companies or organisations like poultry/ egg or Meat producers/ Dairy producers Associations.
They all are offering a solution with plant based food available everywhere around you... Locally produced near your place living which everyone can afford....
You can watch all these experts speak in the link below .......

These researchers say that it is the excessive Fat which çlogs the Muscle cells and resists entry of Glucose cells and thus insulin Resistance develops ...and it affects lipid profile ..and causes heart disease...in fact Dr Esselstyne managed well the Heart disease of the then American President Bill Clinton by Low fat plant based whole food and the then President had endorsed this Diet..
According to these researchers, Human body does not need fat...as our Body is capable of making required fat from carbohydrates. However, there are some Essential fats called EFA (essential fatty acid) which human body can not make .....these are ALA (Alpha linolenic Acid & LA.(Linoleic Acid) ... Which can be found abundantly in flax seed / chia seed or Wal nut....and 1 tablespoonful of flax seed powder/chia seeds or 3-4 walnuts day is sufficient to provide days need of Essential Fats ...in any case all the plant based whole food already have some fat in them.....whether it is Oats or brown rice or potato or a legume.... soyabeans have Too much fat. .... even banana have some fat in it though in lower Quantity....it is mundane....whatever you eat there is always Fat in it...
There is no way to check Beta cell status except C- Peptide level....even if you check C- peptide level which you must know your diabetic status ....you can not do much about it to correct it except that you should be cautious in taking the food which could make it worse.....there is no drug discovered so far to regenerate beta cells....if all beta cells die, the only alternative is insulin ......
But as per the researchers, if you take care of your Heart, Kidney , Liver by some natural food/ diet..... Reduce overall Body inflammation, reduce weight if one is overweight,... then the Insulin resistance can be reversed and progression of beta cells can be arrested to a great extent....
That is how the LFWFPB was identified....which puts least pressure on your heart , kidney, liver... reduces Body inflammation... Heart disease is the no 1 killer among Diabetes and non-diabetes in the World...and this food is supposed to be the best...which renowned Cardiologist Dr Esselstyne vouch for this.. .People go to him with a clogged artery requiring bye-pass and it is his job to clear the clog without surgery....🙂
This diet results in sustainable weight loss, brings down BP/ Cholesterol naturally, improves kidney function, Brings down your hsCRP, results least inflammation in the body.
A couple of recent research studies compared LFWFPB with Mediterranean Diet, Low Carbo keto Diet....links below.....
The latest research indicates that a plant based whole food diet is the most prefered diet to prevent Alzheimer's/ Dementia/ Parkinson/Memory loss which many times the diabetes are vulnerable....watch the world's leading researcher Neurologists on Alzheimer's - Dr. Dean & Ayesha Sherzai, MD .. .. links below ...
