Re: Anybody had luck with a High Carb Plant based diet

Personally, I became severely IR and labile hypertensive on the Ornish
plan, and developed PCOS in my 30s on it. I improved, but remained IR and
hypoglycemic on the Zone diet, which favors massive amounts of plant
foods.

I'm able to control my DM with diet by low carbing; my diet remains heavy
on leafy and other high fiber plant foods, but no starches, and includes
plenty of protein and fat. I've lowered my lipids/CVD risk profile and my
blood pressure and bg this way.

At the time of my diagnosis, my diet was very much like Ornish. Perhaps not
exactly because I wasn't measuring things. But mostly plant based. A small
amount of cheese and eggs. Very low fat. High fiber. I got diabetes! Go
figure.
