Amazing that they dare to use what was proven to work before insulin was synthesized.
How much of the population has become diabetic and fat since 1982 when insulin became widely available??
has your Doctor Approved Diet been Killing you??
how about your Government Approved diet??
My point is this, NONE of this is NEW!!!
Fortunately, my doctor believes in very low carb diets and lots of fermented foods. He really walks the talk, too.
Unfortunately, he failed to diagnose my H. Pylori infection over two decades or more. Horrible GI problems, many trips a day to the bathroom, constant diarrhea, even chest/back/shoulder pains (others have said the same thing for H. Pylori). I just finished the two-week treatment of two antibiotics and a PPI.
In addition to that antibiotic treatment, at the start of 2018 I went completely dairy free, gluten free, zero coffee, zero alcohol and a daily probiotic supplement. These have done wonders. Going gluten free got probably 75% of the carbs out of my diet. Almost 18 pounds have come off. Killing the H. Pylor, going “partial keto,” and adding the probiotics have gotten rid of all my GI problems and all the chest/back/shoulder pains have disappeared. Side benefits are my mood and outlook are much better and my head feels clearer.
I should have done more research decades ago, been much more insistent that I be tested for H. Pylori, and learned a lot more about nutrition when I was younger.
