Effect of Calorie-Unrestricted Low-Carbohydrate, High-Fat Diet Versus High-Carbohydrate, Low-Fat Diet on Type 2 Diabetes and Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease

6th March 2023

Read it.

The mean age was 56 years (SD, 10), and 58% were women. Compared with the HCLF diet, participants on the LCHF diet had greater improvements in hemoglobin A1c (mean difference in change, ?6.1 mmol/mol [95% CI, ?9.2 to ?3.0 mmol/mol] or ?0.59% [CI, ?0.87% to ?0.30%]) and lost more weight (mean difference in change, ?3.8 kg [CI, ?6.2 to ?1.4 kg]). Both groups had higher high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and lower triglycerides at 6 months.

    Exercise is important, but so is diet. Official dietary advice has been wrong for decades — maybe. Saturated fats and therefore lipids may not be the boogey man they are made out to be. E.g. the two European nations with the highest cholesterol (France, Swtizerland) have among the lowest heart disease rates.

    In contrast, sugars and junk carbs, seem to be worse. “In excess,” which is how most folks consume them.

    Here are the “before and after” when I increased some of the vitamins and minerals I take, and probably more importantly, went to a low carb-ish diet:

    Cholesterol dropped from 233 to 209, a reduction of 24 points = -10%.

    HDL: 37 to 44 = + 7 => +19%

    LDL: 164 dropped to 141 = – 23 => -14%

    Trigycerides: 165 dropped to 119 = 46 => – 28%

    The trigyceride/HDL ratio, used by some authorities, improved from 4.5 to 2.7 (on this scale, 2 is ideal, 5 is problematic.)

    I’m blessed with good health and I plan to keep it that way. Dont’ under-estimate the value of exercise and diet. And don’t be too trusting of your doctors either: much medical dogma has been dead wrong in the past (leeches or bleeding anyone?) and some of it probably still is.
