"The results of this study are preliminary but we hope they stimulate discussion and further research. Additional studies are needed to determine whether the IS concept is useful, reproducible around the world, predictable in a mixed-meal context, and cliii ically useful in the treatment of diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, and overweight" Interesting but ultimately a flawed concept. Since i was born and for 45 years i was eating a typical mediterranean diet (i live in these parts) very high in complex carbs and fibers from legumes, whole grain breads, beans. what exactly did that to my health? Gradualy from my early teens years i become overweight and later on obese, my cholesterol levels skyrocket and from the age of 20 i became pre-diabetic Since i started a low carb diet 3 years ago (48 yo now) not only i lost all that extra weght, but i'm no longer pre diabetic and the cholesterol levels went down to normal levels. most importantly, i feel and i'm as healthy as i've never felt in my whole life so far. and all this by eating mostly meat, fish, eggs, full fat dairy and a bit of vegetables/fruits I know very well what these 45 years of eating low-fat high complex carbs actualy did to my health and how much i suffered all these years, and i'm not intend to return back to these eating habits, Ever!

> 45 years of eating low-fat high complex carbs Can you quantify how many grams per day "low fat" was for you? Were you consuming eggs, fish, dairy or olive oil? Were you consuming any processed foods?

  Main source of my fat intake was from olive oil which was about 2 tablespoons per day (in salads). dairy, in the form of low fat yogurt (1-2 times per week) and eggs (max 2-3 eggs) was always on very limited quantities during the week, With the exception of (small fishes) fish which was only consumed durring the weekends and not more than 3 times per month, no other meat or poultry was consumed in my home. basically the majority of weekdays we were eating dishes with legumes (lentils, kidney beans, chickpea) green beans, peas, olive-oil based vegetable dishes, potatoes, brown rice, whole grain breads, salads which always were present in the table, and of course plenty of fruits. i was basically eating as vegetarian my entire life. No processed foods, fast foods or sweets were allowed on my home, as a family, we were always very health conscious people.
