Hi Iceman:
Is this would be true, low fat diets will work very well for weight loss too. If this is the case, why then many ppl are struggling to lose all the extra weight, and what is more important, extra fat despite eating a very low calory diets? I'm afraid it's not that simple, otherwise, we all won't be looking into different diet and exercise regimes. Also, eat less and exercise more sounds like a very sensible advice, and everything will be perfect in ideal world, but we also have hormones, muslces and joints which can give you grief when overtrained, we have different metabolic types, need variety in out diets, and also have some other health issues besides DM. Human biochemistry is not equation with just one variable , especially when it comes to type 2 diabetes. There are other factors involved, since diabetes is a metabolic disorder, which affects whole body and all hormones in general. So, simply eat less and exercise more doesn't work for everyone.
Regards,
Dina
