My dad was diagnosed as type 2 several years ago. He manages with insulin daily. He has had a stint put in to help his arteries stay clear of plaque and his doc wants his LDL level to go down a lot.
Problem is, the heart doc says no red meat or animal products, but the sugar doc says no carbs or fruits. That doesn’t leave much to live on.
I’m inclined to think sugar is worse of the two, so maybe animals fat is a better choice. However, living with high sugar can be managed better than the chance or a heart attack.
If any of you have any thoughts or suggestions about supplements or meds or diet options, I would love to hear them.
Thanks frens!!!
Carnivore diet will eliminate type 2. In months. Keto diet including plants will take longer.
The heart doc is wrong, plain and simple. He's giving standard clinical advice approved by the American Heart Association, bought and paid for by the same folks that created the food pyramid. He's also wrong about salt... you need it and your dad does too, even more so.
Many on GAW know this and will give you links about it. Read them, because you should believe it yourself before you are confident enough to direct his diet.
