I don't even know where to begin on this article. They slam it because it is to them not enjoyable or sustainable. They say it results in a diet of meat and fat and conclude that isn't healthy. They say it's nutrient deficient.

My diet has lots of leafy greens and cruciferous veggies, super nutritious meats, and great fats like dairy avocado olive coconut and butter. All my biometrics are great. What could I be doing wrong? Why are they so resistant to a diet that reverses diabetes?

What do you think?

Reading the comments is encouraging. Only 50% of the people in the world are of "average intelligence." Internet users do not live in a nutritional vacuum. Truth will out.

The sugar lobby is very powerful, just like Big Pharma and the rest of Big Food.

The only reason that not eating sugar is difficult to sustain is that its soooooo hard to find food, especially convenience/snack food without sugar!!That is my only annoyance with this way of eating - I try not to, but I do get fed up with pork scratchings/rinds when I'm out and about and end up not eating at all!

If you go to the senseaboutscience spoof diet page, the heading is this; Ask for evidence. But then they go down through various diets--the criticism of the no sugar diet is verbatim as given in the Daily Mail article, you'll die if you don't eat any sugar, because your only recourse will be meat and fat. Ask for evidence, yes. The descriptions of the diets, and their dismissal, are brief--too brief to actually get around to providing any evidence against their effectiveness. The headine says "Ask for evidence," not "ask us us to tell you there is evidence, no really, trust us." If the problem is people accepting things without evidence, the solution can't be soundbites.

AND BigPharma makes billions from insulin sales. They want us all on insulin.

I think if they can get you go click on any of the links on that page, it's an excellent article! I reads like it's turned out by a complete hack or an intelligent computer algorithm.

I did check out the group they referenced. Sense About Science. I couldn't find the reference material they talked about but I didn't try very hard. Boring.

Don't be too hard on these guys. They are 'experts' after all.
If you read very carefully, what they are saying is TOTALLY true.
It is TOTALLY true that you will die if you TOTALLY eliminate sugar from your diet because it is impossible to TOTALLY eliminate ALL sugar unless you TOTALLY eliminate food.
In other words don't eat anything and you will very successfully reduce your sugar consumption to zero, zilch, nada not even 0.000001%. You will also TOTALLY die.
Only a TOTAL 'expert' could figure out something as TOTALLY useless as this observation.

Yeah, it's worse than that. 50% of the people in the world are BELOW average intelligence.

But that may just be THE stupidest article I've read in a long time. I'm pretty sure though, that it's par for the course with that particular publication. The sidebar was all links to juicy articles about starlets, and seemed inordinately focused on the size of their bra cups.

The problem with the Internet is that it needs a constant supply of content, and spam-bait headlines rule the web. You really do have to be on the lower half of the intelligence spectrum to not be able to distinguish between a real story and one that just makes you look.

It's all the stuff in between, that appears to make sense on the surface, that sounds "sciency," or appeals to your selective perception, that you really have to watch out for. Then you'll need to be in the upper half of the upper half
