Why low-carbohydrate diet can't help people with insulin resistance.
Here's a conversation between Dr Neal Barnard and Mastering Diabetes to address the low-carb diet vs low-fat diet debate. As Robby and Cyrus have always been preaching, to manage diabetes effectively you need to get to the root cause, So stop obsessing over carbohydrate restriction. Whether you're living with type 2, type 1, or prediabetes this explainer is something you don't want to miss.
So once more, here's someone from the medical science community to confirm the importance of a low-fat, high-carbohydrate diet.
Here's what they talk about:
- What is insulin resistance and how does it develop?
- One huge problem with a low-carbohydrate high-fat diet
- How low carb diet worsens insulin resistance
- Other conditions that stem from insulin resistance
- Why low carbohydrate diets are not good quality diets
Neal Barnard, MD, FACC, is an adjunct professor of medicine at the George Washington University School of Medicine in Washington, D.C., and President of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine.
Dr. Barnard has led numerous research studies investigating the effects of diet on diabetes, body weight, and chronic pain, including a groundbreaking study of dietary interventions in type 2 diabetes, funded by the National Institutes of Health, that paved the way for viewing type 2 diabetes as a potentially reversible condition for many patients. Dr. Barnard has authored more than 100 scientific publications and 20 books for medical and lay readers, and is the editor in chief of the Nutrition Guide for Clinicians, a textbook made available to all U.S. medical students.

    So I went on a low carb and high fat diet, not only did I gain weight, but my triglycerides went up by another hundred points. My mistake was that I should’ve been on a keto diet maybe. It’s a paradox I just had to get to the gym and to do cardio that I lost all the weight that I wanted to lose. I kept my food at moderation. I guess I’ve circle back around to how I was eating and how I was working out when I was in my 20s.😅

    Have you tried a lower fat, high carb approach before? I've done it all and both ends of the spectrum work if you stick with them, so it's a question of finding what works for you long term. Try 2 weeks with plenty of whole food carbs and lower fat intake, see how you feel. You'll know in 2 weeks whether you're on the right track, and in the meanwhile you give your body a break from fat and tons of protein while fiber cleans you out. Worst case scenario, it was a nice 2 week break. But you might find that you start feeling more energetic, sleep better and digest better.

    @@kayallen7603 No, actually, the dietary path Dr. Barnard is recommending has achieved the best results for weight loss, diabetes prevention/reversal, heart disease prevention/reversal, and overall long-term health. High-fat diets are an unproven fad that achieves short-term improvements in biomarkers but set people up for all sorts of long-term health problems. Experimental studies prove eating lots of saturated fat CAUSES insulin resistance. People on very low carb diets make their insulin resistance worse by eating so much fat, but control their glucose levels and hide their remaining insulin resistance and carb intolerance by not eating enough carbs to raise glucose levels much. If you look closely at the "low-fat" studies many people/docs cite as proving low fat doesn't work, you will find that they were NOT truly eating low-fat diets (8-15% of calories), they were eating faux low-fat diets with 25-30% calories from fat, too little fiber, and too much processed foods and added sugar (which spikes glucose levels). ALL large, slim, and largely diabetes-free populations in the last century got the majority of their calories from carbs, so "carbs" are not the problem. Here's reversing diabetes and getting LDL levels from 102 to 62 in three weeks on a plant-based diets with 73% of calories from whole food carbs: To see an overview of the results, see the 2:47 mark in nutritionfacts.org/video/benefits-of-a-macrobiotic-diet-for-diabetes/ The direct link to the study is Soare A, Khazrai YM, Del Toro R, et al. The effect of the macrobiotic Ma-Pi 2 diet vs. the recommended diet in the management of type 2 diabetes: the randomized controlled MADIAB trial. Nutr Metab (Lond). 2014;11:39. Many people can’t believe a diet that is very high in carbs can cure diabetes for most people but that is because a) they never got their fat intake low enough (~10-15% of calories) to cure their insulin resistance, and b) the carbs they were eating were processed carbs that cause a faster rise in blood glucose levels than do WHOLE food carbs-especially when whole food carbs are eaten in the context of lots of vegetables and fiber. I teach and research nutrition (and how people get confused about it) at the university level, and your docs are either living in the past or have been misled by "little-picture" low carb research. But if you go low fat, you have to eat truly low fat and eat whole foods with lots of fiber throughout the day (like 60 g of fiber, not 20). See the Mastering Diabetes website for a research-grounded approach based on very low fat whole food plant-rich diets.

    @@southern842 "LDL doesn’t matter. " Unfortunately, the best EXPERIMENTAL research proves it is the central causal factor in ASCVD. Keep your LDL in the 35-70 range for a lifetime, and plaques don't form. Have plaques but lower your LDL to 50, and they start to shrink. However, the public has been misled about this reality by weak correlational studies, studies confounded by reverse causality, and especially by the treatment of LDL from 71 to as high as 139 as being "normal" or even "low" LDL when they are actually high LDL levels. "Cholesterol ratios is what matters." Elevated levels of both small dense and large fluffy particles are atherogenic, and while TG/HDL ratios have some value for predicting a heart attack if you are going to spend decades with elevated LDL levels, if you keep your LDL levels in the normal range, you don't have to think about any of that. "13 of the top 20 healthiest countries in the world eat a high fat diet with low to moderate carb intake." I guess this partly depends on your definition of "healthy." Most industrialized nations have excellent longevity because they have money and great health care, not because they have excellent diets or health. Most older adults in those nations have one or more major chronic diseases, and virtually all of them have had steadily worsening heart disease since childhood. Adding to the confusion, many countries who historically had very high carb diets have recently added lots of meat and fat to their diets, creating the false impression you can have great health outcomes eating diets very high in meat and fat. However, a 100-year old in Hong Kong or France grew up and spent most of their adult life eating far more carbs and far less fat than their country eats on average today. Unfortunately, as consumption of meat, fat, and sweets climbed in Asia, rates of major chronic diseases have skyrocketed. For example, the Japanese used to have prostate cancer rates that were only 2% of the rates in America, but their rates are now close to ours. The two most powerful predictor variables in the depressing rise of dementia in Asia are the consumption of animal fat and the consumption of added sugar. Unfortunately, eating lots of animal fat causes inflammation (e.g., via dead bacterial endotoxins), and experimental studies prove it causes insulin resistance plus increases in LDL that are experimentally linked to atherosclerosis. Furthermore, humans have dumped tens of thousands of toxic chemicals in the environment, and some of these are linked to every major chronic disease. Unfortunately, these toxic chemicals naturally accumulate at very high levels in the fat of animals, so people who eat meat have levels of these toxins in their bodies that are 30% higher to 100 times higher than the levels found in people who don't eat meat (in addition, eating more plant foods also boosts your body's ability to flush out the toxins that get in). If you look within those countries at the very healthiest and longest-lived groups, the data we have so far shows that they consistently eat diets that are very low in fat and are WFPB. Maybe it's possible for a group to achieve terrific healthy longevity on super-clean keto diets or even diets with 50% calories from fat (across their whole lifetimes, not as a recent fad), but I'm skeptical and it hasn't been proven yet. Take care.

    @@southern842 Thanks MC, but I am a veteran PhD university professor and researcher and in that role, I have spent thousands of hours researching nutrition AND researching how people get fooled about it. Here's an illuminating activity: Go to the Ivor Cummins website, watch some of the seemingly very convincing studies supposedly proving that LDL doesn't matter, and then look up the actual studies he uses. You will find that the groups with "normal" or "low" LDL actually had LDL as high as 100, 130, or even 140. In a group such as that, almost all of them likely had HIGH LDL (LDL above 70). The same is true of the claims of all the low-carb gurus I have ever studied--what they call low-fat diets are not truly low in fat and what they call normal or low LDL is always actually mostly high LDL levels. Meanwhile, EXPERIMENTAL research demonstrates that the lower you drive LDL (or the lower it stays due to genetic variations), the less plaque forms and the less major CVD events happen. Even with inflammatory diets, smoking, and traditional risk factors such as diabetes, and stress, ~90% of the expected risk of CVD events disappears in groups whose LDL levels are kept in the normal range or just slightly elevated for a lifetime. Take care.

    Carbohydrates are broken down into two categories - simple or complex. Simple carbohydrates are sugars that can be found in things like candy bars and soft drinks. These processed carbohydrates are digested very quickly and lead to a rapid rise in blood glucose after being eaten. On the other hand, complex carbohydrates are made from foods like fruits, starchy vegetables, legumes or intact whole grains, which have more fiber and take longer for your body to digest. This means that they don't cause as large of a spike in blood sugar levels when you eat them. And as a bonus, these extra fibers and nutrients are fantastic for your body. So while we do recommend a high-carb diet, we don't just mean any carbs. Specifically, we mean natural carbohydrates, which come from whole grains, nuts, seeds, fruits, and vegetables.

As you said they tend to be more conscious on their lifestyle and that's a good thing, but it doesn't matter if you want to compare diets strictly. In any case, as you said, Pescovegetarian diet is probably the better diet because it has B12 and EPA/DHA, which are really important oils for health. Vegans can't survive without B12 that's why they supplement it always! On the other hand, EPA/DHA isn't strictly 'essential', but it is great for health. That is why vegan instructed therapists are recommending EPA/DHA supplementation that comes from the algae that fishes eat in order to, themselves, be full of EPA/DHA. I think it is an important fact to acknowledge, as we could be talking about getting the benefits of those oils, without the risk of getting polluted, which is a problem that you fairly pointed in pescovegetarian diets. Given this, we could say Vegan diets are really close to be optimal if suplemented correctly. When you consider these diets are waaaaay better for environmental reasons and moral issues, I think it becomes an easy choice. What do you think? Thank for sharing your thougts

BILLIONS of diabetes-free folks getting most of their calories from carbs. Meanwhile, there is zero LONG-term evidence on the safety of efficacy of keto diets. "Eating sugar will only damage your body slowly over time." Dr. Barnard is not recommending eating "sugar," and if you don't know the difference between eating refined grains and added sugar (unhealthy) vs. eating whole food carbs (very healthy), the folks you are getting your information from are misleading you badly. Take care.

    I tried LOW FAT, VEGETARIAN diet and ended up miserable and my health and markers did not improve, struggling with being overweight BMI of 25-27. Then I went Intermittent Fasting and High Fat Low Carb and in 3 months, I lost 12% of my weight without any caloric restrictions, ALL my markers improved including LDL. A1C at 5.2, Triglycerides went down from 300 to 70. Feel great, no hunger, fantastic. BMI now 22. BP down from 160/100 to 130/80.

    The idea of a ketogenic diet, in my experience, is to lower carbs and increase fat for long enough to convert yourself into a fat burner for energy, as opposed to a glucose burner. After you do that, you then can decrease fat, increase protein and keep carbs low. I've followed that prescription, and every single one of my biological markers has improved, except LDL, which has gone up less than 2%, and is still well within established recommended limits and ratios. l have lost 30 pounds, and very little of that has been lean mass. I am now quite lean. Caveats: I also practice intermittent fasting, and to begin with I was not diabetic or pre-diabetic. So I don't have experience with that issue. A high carb, low fat diet--even excluding junky, high glycemic carbs--simply did not work for me. Too much food craving/hunger throughout the day.

    "I cannot burn up carbs." Then your fat intake is probably too high, which creates insulin resistance, and the inability to metabolize carbs normally or efficiently. The very best insulin sensitivity/carb burning is achieved on plant-rich diets with ~7-15% calories from fat, far less fat than westerner's faux "low-fat diets."

The best method to reverse diabetes (metabolic syndrome overall) is extended fasting plain and simple--and extremely cheap. That stated, one will need some equipment: (1) electrolyte drink mix, (2) glucose and ketone monitor and test strips, (3) 14-parameter urine test strips, (4) full body composition scale and (5) blood pressure monitor.

    you get quite enough fat from fruits and vegetables. you only need 10% of your calories to be fat and protein respectively. You need carbs for energy, preferably simple carbs. Burning fat for energy (aka ketosis) is highly unhealthy and will only make you sick in the long run. Ask Dr. Atkins with his long history of health problems. oh, ya, he is not around any more. Imagine that. High blood sugar and insulin resistance are caused by more than 10% of your calories coming from fat, because too much fat in your blood inhibits the glucose from getting out of the blood and into your muscles to fuel your body.

Also, insulin won't be spiking much bc we aren't eating refined carbs either. We are eating fiber, nutrient rich complex carbs. WFPB gets to the root cause.

Excessive glucose causes it. This video is totally fake. This guy ought to be ashamed of himself spreading lies. CARBS are the primary cause of Diabetes. Sugar especially drives up insulin forcing glucose into the tissues until those tussues resist the action of the insulin. The consequence of this is that more insulin is needed to do the sme job THIS IS WHAT T2D is. Flour, pasta, bread, are turned immediately into glucose in the mouth, and fruits sugars being half glucose do the same, the other half Fructose causes NAFLD, englaging your liver with fats, causing dysfunction. www.youtube.com/@DrDanMaggs
