Low fat dieting may be the way to go for a select few, and with all due respect, I have also done a lot of research comparing the low fat diet, and the low carb diet, and I will continue to knock the government, and food industry propeganda mill that continuously promotes this generally unhealthy diet. All the doctors, dieticions, & nutritionists who advocate this as the be all end all diet, have been swept away by rhe low fat diet craze. If the "right"ay to go for a diabetic is the low fat diet, then why are so many diabetics than follow this diet religiously, end up with so many complications?
If a low carb diet is so unhealthy because it can contain a high amount of fat, then why would a cardiologist (Dr. Atkins), so readily promote this diet, if it is so bad for the heart. Two of the worst fats for your body are derived from carbs to begin with(trans-fats, & tri-glycerides) The only studies which go against low carbing, were done with small groups, or uncontrolled ones, which hold absolutely no merit with me.
The fact of the matter is that for most people, low fat diets simply do not work. They are difficult to stick to, because you basically starve yourself, you are depriving yourself of fats the body needs, and will satiate your appetite, while not utilizing your own body to burn your fat as fuel.
At one time I was all gung-ho for low fat dieting, ( I actually lost a large amount of weight doing this, but as I look back on it I was always hungry) I got swept up n the low fat fad, but then I came across the Atkin's diet and low carbing, and saw the light.
I'm sorry you don't agree with me, but the bottom line is that a low carb diet is the best diet to control diabetes, and for people looking to lose weight and improve health.
