| Just Say NO to an
1800 Diabetic Diet
by: Fire Foxx
It’s been a year, and 85 blubbery pounds less, since
I was diagnosed with diabetes Type2. The news was especially
scary because my mother died of diabetic complications 3 years
after diagnosis- the SAME AGE AS ME! EEEK!
The day I was diagnosed, my doctor handed me a glucometer,
an 1800-calorie diabetic diet and a handful of prescriptions,
mumbling something about being sorry and I should watch after
my health better. WHAT!!! I had been on every low-fat diet
and was down to eating like an anorexic bird. The injustice
of the whole thing was just WRONG.
Over the years, as other fatties joined food addiction support
groups, shamefully admitting to secret outings to fast food
drive-up windows in the middle of the night and weekends spent
with cartons of Haggendaz, I was frigging STARVING!!!
The 1800 calorie diet was AWFUL. I was constantly hungry.
The medicine made me run to the bathroom every hour, leaving
me even hungrier. I was dizzy from the blood pressure medicine
and the tips of my fingers were bruised and tender from blood
sugar checks. This was not the way I wanted to live. I now
understood why my mother seemed so resigned in the end to
inevitable death. Having diabetes was no fun.
I knew the low fat thing didn’t work. A few people
at work had some success with Atkins, so I tried it. Although
I lost weight, my blood sugar plummeted, leaving me light-headed
and spacey. So I decided to modify it. I started with 50 carbs,
same problem. 100 carbs a day still resulted in occasional
low blood sugars, depending on the day. It seemed related
to the type of carb, how much stress and sleep I’d had
and how much physical exercise. It was a high-wire act everyday,
but I finally found the carb intake that was right for me
(100-160).
It’s been a year now and I’ve lost 85 lbs and
feel GREAT! No more diabetic or blood pressure meds either!
And my blood sugars are PERFECT! My cholesterol and blood
pressure are all completely normal. My lab works show absolutely
no abnormalities. A farrrr cry from where I was a year ago-
elevated liver function tests and all.
I’d like to share with you some new research cited
in the Online Nutrition Journal (2004). Have you ever wondered
if all calories are the same? How do people on low-carb diets
lose weight despite what looks like an increase in calorie
consumption? In fact, 10 studies HAVE shown low carb diets
can lead to greater weight loss than low calorie/ low-fat
diets. This violates everything we now know about how calories
are burned, also known as the LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS. This
law basically says a calorie is a calorie. If you eat too
many you’ll get fat and if you eat fewer than you burn,
you’ll lose weight.
Studies show dieters on a low-carb diet have a metabolic
advantage and actually LOSE MORE WEIGHT! Scientists are still
studying this phenomenon, but speculate it may be due to the
heat generated in processing certain foods. Of the 3 groups
studied, the low-carb dieters lost more weight than the low-fat
dieters. Even when they deliberately ate 300 extra calories,
the low-carbers lost more than the low-fatters. The researchers
suggest our bodies may be like cars that burn more efficiently
on high-octane gas than low-grade gas.
The low-carb way of eating is not just a fad diet. People
wouldn't keep doing it if it didn't work. It worked for me,
it has worked for others and it can work for you.
