| Obese people tend to
go on
to suffer type II diabetes (NIDDM) and diabetics are more prone
to heart disease. For this reason patients with NIDDM are counselled
to eat
a 'healthy' low-fat, high-carb diet. But: the best diet for diabetics
to avoid heart disease is high-fat, low-carbohydrate because:
"A very high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet has
been shown to have astounding effects in helping type 2 diabetics
lose weight and improve their blood lipid profiles. The thing many
diabetics coming into the office don't realize is that other forms
of carbohydrates will increase their sugar, too. Dieticians will
point toward complex carbohydrates ... oatmeal and whole wheat bread,
but we have to deliver the message that these are carbohydrates
that increase blood sugars, too."

The
Endocrine Society, 12-15

In general, study has demonstrated that multiple risk factors for
coronary heart disease are worsened for diabetics who consume the
low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets so often recommended to reduce these
risks"
Diabetes Care 1995;
18: 10-16
"it seems prudent
to avoid
the use of low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets containing moderate amounts
of sucrose in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus."

of Medicine

Insulin does not treat the diabetes, but only lessens its symptom
Dr. Jan Kwasniewski
No hospital in the world is running a program to treat
the cause of diabetes. That disease is considered incurable. No facts,
not even the most spectacular and apparent, are able to make modern
medicine change its view. I cured my first type 1 diabetic 30 years
ago.

The best diet for weight
loss is high-fat, low-carbohydrate because: Average daily losses
on high carbohydrate/low fat diet - 49g (like modern slimming diets)
Average daily losses on low carbohydrate/high fat diet - 205g (like
recommended)
"The most striking feature of the table is that
the losses appear to be inversely proportionate to the carbohydrate
content of the food. Where the carbohydrate intake is low the rate
of loss in weight is greater and conversely."
Quarterly Journal of Medicine
1932; 1: 331-52
"Reduced fat and calorie intake and
frequent use of low-calorie food products have been associated with
a paradoxical increase in the prevalence of obesity."
American
Journal of Medicine
1997; 102: 259-64.
"The
failure of fat people to achieve a goal they seem to want and to want
almost above all else must now be admitted for what it is: a failure
not of those people but of the methods of treatment that are used."
British Medical Journal
1994; 309: 655-6.
"Starvation" diets and chemical concoctions that inflate
the stomach (and so also a "starvation" technique, just
with a fake full felling in the stomach) are harmful to your health.
These methods starve down not only spare fat but also all tissues
and organs. People who survived second world war concentration and
labour camps were truly skinny and came out of the camps in ruined
health, sometimes for their whole lives.
Dr.
Jan Kwasniewski
Weight gain is caused by an excess of carbohydrates in what is eaten.
They are converted into fat and stored in fat tissue. Fat in a human
body never comes directly from the fat that is in what is eaten.
