Re: Any diabetics in here?

[Guest guest]

insulin resistance - yes. To be honest the plain old EFL lifestyle

takes care of it better than anything else I've ever tried - no

tweaks needed. The protein you eat levels out the carbs for some

reason. My darling considerate partner did a lot of research on it

for me and the end result is that even if I have a chocolate bar, as

long as I have a protein shake on the side I don't get affected much

at all.

BFL is very a very good plan for people that are prediabetic or

diabetic because it has balanced small meals eaten every two to three

hours - choose complex carbs which take longer to breakdown and

coupled with a portion of protein they take even longer - what better

way to get control of your eating eh?

The grand master champion of the BFL contest in 2000 was Rory Palazzo

who was a type 1 diabetic - he reduced his daily insulin by more than

50% while losing 21lbs of fat and gaining 9lbs of muscle in twelve

weeks! You can see his picture at the BFL main site in the

I am insulin resistant due to Poly Cyctic Ovarian Syndrome. I am

doing the BFL program. While I am following it pretty much as it

says, I choose high fiber, complex carbs. When I eat a sandwich it

is with the lower carb count bread. I substitute the food in the

EFL book that calls for corn tortillas or normal spaghetti with

whole wheat products. By the way - this is the first program that

isn't " low-carb " that has worked for me.

Hate to be critical but as an RN I wonder the same thing about the

nutritionist at my facility.

I know that BFL is perfectly appropriate for a diabetic to follow the

only difference is that diabetics may chose to have a low glycemic

carb when their blood sugar is high and a high glycemic carb if their

blood sugar is low. Eating 6 small meals a day maintains blood sugar

levels so that you don't end up with spikes and dips. Eating protien

regulates insulin release.

That's my 2 cents
