Any perspective on this?
Yes. He starts right off on this page telling lies. He simply wants your
money, IMO.
He claims that complications follow within a few years of diagnosis. Not
necessarily true and you certainly don't need his program to prevent it.
Everything I've heard forever is that
low-carb is the way to go, yet, since I started eating
low-carb ~5 months ago, it seems my glocose tolerance has gone
down, I was surprised at the speed of onset of neuropathy
for one thing. Before I suspected I was diabetic I'd experience
it only after large indulgences - a large sugar drink, a whole
box of crackers. Since eating low-carb, I got it at 100, 110 levels.
This, despite losing weight (now BMI 19.x), and exercising
quite a lot (and of course eating < ~30g carbs / day).
Well, part of the question is how badly you were damaged before starting.
Are you trying to continue to eat carbs?
Are you looking for a cure? That website promises a cure for type 2 - it's
a lie.
Anyone have a take on how strong the fat-cause argument is?
It's very, very weak.
The ADA advocates low-fat, but I assume it's to get people
to lose weight, and preserve people's cardio-vascular system,
not to treat diabetes itself.
It's wrong-headed. You can eat fat and lose weight. The consumption of fat
will not make you fat.
What would a low-fat, low-carb diet look like? Nuts and
green vegetables all the time, I guess :)
Nuts aren't low-fat. Low fat and low carb would be basically protein, lean
boring protein. It's awful, IMO. Yet, there are people around who claim to
follow such an approach.
IMO, it's unnecessary.
