Bump ...
Does dietary protein raise blood glucose? Not in normal or Type 2 diabetics it doesn't. This will be the topic of a post today or tomorrow. There is a disturbing, in my opinion, trend in the low carb community to now demonize protein. Your usual Atkins style diet is no longer "good enough" or "well formulated" enough for most. This keto kraze has gotten really krazy!As far as I'm concerned, the danger of people like Jimmy Moore is no better epitomized than by this trend. You have lots of people regurgitating his claims that his liver makes too much glucose out of protein and this is implicated in his weight issues. Nevermind all of the evidence to the contrary. Leaving weight loss aside, yes, this is anecdotal, but we have no other "evidence" to go by! Long term low carbers seem to have worsening glucose tolerance over time. Almost to a one, and these are people who were not diabetic or in some cases even IR (by HOMA) at baseline.
