"Losing weight, even by a high-protein, high-fat, low-fiber diet will lower triglycerides, decrease insulin resistance, and lower blood pressure, for example. "

---Nope. Has no effect on Triglicerides. I do not believe this person is a MD. Its right in the damn elementary level textbook. Reducing carbs will is cited.

"One pays a substantial price from such a diet which generates a chronic ketosis. Besides the increased cancer risk, the kidneys are placed under increased stress and will age more rapidly. "

---Nice thesis. High glucose levels have been shown to also be effective.


"It can take many, many years for such damage to be detected by blood tests and by the time it is detected irreversible damage might have already occurred. The blood tests that monitor kidney function do not begin to increase until more than 80% of the kidneys have been destroyed."

---Where did you learn this? Do you really want to completly go against the medical establishment with this thesis? "Many, Many years"... do you mean.. many many many many many years? Please explain.

Even in my private medical practice, I have already seen numerous diabetic patients who have permanently damaged their kidneys as a result of attempting weight loss and diabetic control with high-protein diets.

He was not informed at The Atkins' Center that a plant-based diet of natural foods would also cause fast, effortless and permanent weight loss and cure his diabetes without causing him serous health risks. John was angry he wasn't given such a choice.

---Is John Mute? Why hasn't john been shown or thrown on the television telling his story? Does John really exist... or is this "literary freedom?" Your "John" friend (couldn't you make up a less common name?). was blind without tastebuds? He didn't realize what he was eating?

As long as one successfully loses weight, carbohydrates are not a problem to the diabetic.

---So diabedics don't need to test their glucose?

So hes against Ketosis... so he believes it is unhealthy to EVER lose weight.... the only way weight loss CAN be achieved is for a ketogenic state to occur (Other then liposuction). Most people enter it everyday. Maybe we are actually healthy gaining weight then.
