Setting aside the insulinogenic aspect of the protein in certain dairy foods, full fat yogurt is still full of lactose. You don't need to drive your pancreas to secrete more insulin, even if it is spread out to lessen peaks. The AUC is still high. danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-57307800933854104782017-06-29T02:51:23.098-04:002017-06-29T02:51:23.098-04:00This is all quite interesting because I just read ...This is all quite interesting because I just read the article on Mark's Daily Apple today. After being off dairy for about a year, I began craving Greek yogurt. But I've noticed that my pulse increases after eating it. And this happens every time. I checked my blood glucose levels, though, and got remarkably good readings. My blood sugar never went above 127, even at 1 hour after eating it. One piece of white sourdough gives me a reading of 192 at one hour pp. But I feel shaky after eating the yogurt. And I suspect it's because of the insulin spikes. What to do?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699107491655279907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-54900978449754261002015-03-20T14:52:11.258-04:002015-03-20T14:52:11.258-04:00Thanks for commenting, Marty, and welcome to The N...Thanks for commenting, Marty, and welcome to The Nutrition Debate.

I immediately started gettin hypos, so I called him and he titrated me off the oral antiglycemic meds (maxed out on 2 and starting a 3rd class) over the course of a few days (since I kept getting hypos as long as I kept strictly to Atkins Induction. I finally got off the last 5mg of the sulfonylurea when I switched to Bernstein a few years later. Today I just take 500mg once a day.<br /><br />Over the course of time I lost 170 lbs, my BP dropped from 130/90 to 110/70 on the same meds, and importantly, my HDL doubled (from 39 aver to 83 aver I think) and my triglycerides dropped by 2/3rd from +/- 150 to 49 aver. I am today a much, much healthier person than I was 11 years ago. I have lots of energy and am never hungry. The secret (as any type 2 who has tried it knows): to gain control of your blood sugar, lose weight and keep it off without hunger, improve your BP and dramatically improve your blood lipids, eat Very Low Carb. Allow your body to burn fat (in mild ketosis) instead of constantly craving sugar. <br /><br />I have consulted with RDs and CDEs and none of the ones I have met 'get it.' Like most doctors, they were trained to believe differently, and are unable to change. <br /><br />I read peer-reviewed scientific abstracts and full papers every day. I have read, re-read and heavily underlined dozens of books. But the best 'teacher' has been my own n=1 experience. And the lab tests my doctors have taken over the years prove it. I have 35 years of continulous measurements charted from before the time I was diagnosed. When my doctor first started me on Atkins (he had tried it on himself first), he saw me monthly. I now insist on being seen quarterly, even though my doctor thinks it is unnecessary. My diabetes is in remission, SO LONG AS I CONTINUE TO EAT VERY LOW CARB.danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-22231223884897217842013-12-13T18:34:07.482-05:002013-12-13T18:34:07.482-05:00How do you seek or have you seeked information to ...How do you seek or have you seeked information to manage your diabetes? <br /><br />One size does not fit all and if you believe all that you read without finding how and where the information has been sourced you may experience adverse effects. With all due respect, when one is diagnosed with a long term chronic condition, after many years of trial and error you will find something that works well for you, this may not be the same for someone else.<br />I teach how to make better informed choices to prevent long term chronic conditions. I am curious to know what enlightment these clinicians have seen. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-34480395708399082592013-12-13T09:05:13.743-05:002013-12-13T09:05:13.743-05:00Thanks for commenting.

You make some reasonable point about "distill what may be relevant" and "conducting a background consultation," but you are exactly the type of "nutrition professional" that I would advise people to avoid like the plague. And by using the blanket phrase, "Any health professional would know..." you paint a broad-brush that is, sadly, false. Too bad for you, I say. We are in a paradigm shift. You are not only behind the curve. You are swimming against the current, to mix my metaphors. There are many enlightened clinicians and RDs and CDEs out there today, and many more emerging every day, as they see the light. I hope, for your sake, that you do too.danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-31549661404586535352013-12-13T07:13:08.965-05:002013-12-13T07:13:08.965-05:00.. your weight or reduce weight.

As a nutrition professional, I would strongly encourage people to read all articles and distill what may be relevant to them. I do not advise anyone anything without conducting a background consultation and each individual will receive recommendations that are unique to them.

But maybe this week...<br /><br />I've given up H&H and/or full cream with my coffee. I add 1 tps of Ancient Organics ghee. It's not the same, but the taste of carmelized butter from this brand of ghee (as a result of 'rendering' out the protein, I think), is 'different' and pretty good.<br /><br />I also eat butter, but am using coconut oil to cook onions and mushrooms and brown meat. I also use MCT oil. And the only cheese I eat now is aged cheese (minimum 6 months). I got this idea from Kurt Harris. I think his Archevore Diet is just about perfect. I like his approach and thinking too. Too bad he has disappeared from the face of the earth.<br /><br />This protein thing was a revelation to me too. I think I need to go back and reread my own column to more fully appreciate its implications.<br /><br />I think it's probably a good idea to give up the yoghurt. danbrownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00119737446791634173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7410445500476013619.post-72813050642051586352013-05-20T13:52:32.025-04:002013-05-20T13:52:32.025-04:00I usually only eat 3 things a day: full fat Greek ...I usually only eat 3 things a day: full fat Greek yogurt, a piece of meat, and a big salad.
