I have diabetes, can I go on a diet?
Posted by Garz (Member # 52095) on :
the answer in short is yes but your approach and precautions needed will depend on which type of diabetes you have
in brief:
type 2 diabetes (the most common) is a chronic diet and lifestyle-induced disease and the best way to treat it is with diet and lifestyle. the main change is to reduce carbohydrate intake ( but there is likely a significantly larger range of improvements and benefits available )
type 1 diabetes is a different disease caused by auto-immune reactions causing the body to attack insulin-producing cells in the pancreas resulting in poor insulin production and lack of control of blood sugar. |People with type one diabetes need to monitor their carbohydrate consumption and inject additional insulin (usually) in order to manage their insulin and blood sugar levels manually on a daily basis.
people with Type one diabetes can also make changes to their diet but will likely need to make corresponding changes to their insulin doses.
in both cases - sustained positive changes to dietary intake and lifestyle that are maintained for the long term are likely to yield the best health benefits.
I make this clarifying statement as a "diet" in common parlance is often taken to mean a short term change in what a person eats - eg to lose say 10lbs after which the person would then revert to previous eating habits.
this pattern of behavior rarely results in lasting health benefits as once the previous pattern is resumed any weight loss or health benefit is typically reversed.
whereas appropriate long term or permanent changes in diet and lifestyle have been demonstrated to improve symptoms and health markers in many chronic diseases.

If you are diabetic, you should definitely consult with your doctor before starting a diet. It's just that it can cause serious harm to you. ***************Just my friend told me that when he went on a diet, he was very sorry that he didn't consult with a doctor, because he had a lot of health problems and about six months he visited a huge bunch of doctors and gained all the pounds that he lost.

For those wondering about the effects of the Keto diet and getting frustrated with the results, be patient. In my experience, it takes some time for the metabolism to switch from carb metabolism to fats, and vice versa. I found that doing a carb load once a week is similar to kickstarting your car, the engine needs multiple attempts to fully start. The reality is that it doesn’t really start it, so the carbs that aren't stored as glycogen are released as heat instead of being stored as fat. ******************Why not supplement your efforts with a delicious dessert alternative that incorporates your keto diet aspirations like keto whipped cream.

I agree with BurcLen above.
The Keto way of eating has been researched extensively and has been found to be highly beneficial for many disease processes. It was first developed in the early 1900's to treat seizures.
It's a way of life rather than a 'diet'. It does give weight loss if that is a goal. I prefer to focus on the health benefits!
Do your own research. Also note there are various ways of implementing this way of eating.....research it for yourself.
It's interesting that folks eating the SAD (Standard American Diet) way of eating never consulted with the doc!!! How is it that what 'Big Food' markets is accepted as food?
My experience with the Keto way of eating has been positive for weight loss but most importunately the health benefits.
