A low protein, high carb diet is how I got type 2 diabetes at age 30. This article isn’t just wrong, it is dangerous. Lower your carb intake folks. You don’t have to be extreme or anything. 45 grams of carbs or less per meal is a good barometer for everyone.
- gcatalfamo 8y agoLowering carb is a good idea but I think that the type of carb matters. If it’s pure sugar (a soda) I’d say 45grams it definitely an upper limit to never overshoot. If it’s home cooked pasta 100g at lunch won’t do you any harm depending on what you serve it with. Especially if you start avoiding all carbs at dinner, which is not a bad idea, having some carbs at lunch in the form of pasta or bread (but halving the dose) will keep your metabolism spinning. Keep in mind I am Italian so when I say pasta or bread I am talking about prepared food so no macaroni and cheese or garlic bread (FWIW, as benchmark, do not eat at olive’s garden. If I have to indulge in junk food macdonalds better)
