I just Googled his web site tho...No, I haven't. I just Googled his web site though. Have you mentioned him to me before? <br /><br />I like his idea that "Health = Nutrient Density/Calories. That is a very good formulation.<br /><br />He give me a clue about his diet with his emphasis on micronutrients. He talking about real food, primarily fruits and vegetables. That's okay if you are not carbohydrate intolerant, or beginning to be. If you are overweight, you likely are.<br /><br />But he gives me another clue about what his diet is about with this statement: "...and the less you will crave fat and high calorie foods." This looks suspiciously like a diet that is very low in meat, especially meat containing saturated fat and cholesterol. That is where we would part company.<br /><br />He also goes on to say, "If you are an adult diabetic, you will likely be insulin-free in no time." That is a very misleading statement. First of all, I am an 'adult diabetic' (for 27 years)and have never taken insulin. I have controlled my diabetes for the last 11 years with diet alone (except for 500mg once a day)to suppress gluconeogenesis.<br /><br />On the other hand, every adult type 1 diabetic knows that they must take inslulin for life of they will die! <br /><br />Promises like that may appeal to some, but I think that kind of 'sell' is over the top. It just smells of commercialism. I have nothing to sell. Just an idea. An idea that works. If you are overweight because of insulin resistance from carbohydrate intolerance, you can lose weight easily without hunger, and avoid becoming diabetic -- if it's not too late. Sooner rather than later is better. It will allow you more choices for the rest of you life -- more choices than I have now. That is my message.danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-35396052941768462012013-07-27T11:02:47.037-04:002013-07-27T11:02:47.037-04:00Have you read dr Furhman's book "Eat to L...Have you read dr Furhman's book "Eat to Live"?Kirstenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18005571875405793107noreply@blogger.com
