Ugh. I believe folks like me (termed obese) are sugar sensitive... or react to certain foods differently than others (see Kathleen Desmaisons' work). I am using balanced nutrition and IE to work on my nutrition and weight/health. It's going well for me so far. I will NOT have gastric bypass!!Gothic Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15837005510592192496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-44506292684916737282010-04-25T17:29:35.161-05:002010-04-25T17:29:35.161-05:00Great article, and important.

Lap banding cannot do so as it does not involve the small intestine or any other parts of the gut. (unless, of course, complications occur, which of course they do sometimes. ). I'm against both, but g-bypass is hugely worse for the body than lap band, which is a mechanical means of food intake restriction.kcdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789350686530991560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-22088842502832213242010-04-24T22:41:51.462-05:002010-04-24T22:41:51.462-05:00Misinformation scares me, period and common sense ...Misinformation scares me, period and common sense isn't so common. I know two ppl who had the surgery and watched them throw up when they were transitioning back to food and would overeat by accident. It's scary to watch. One has regained the weight and the other regained 20lbs or so. <br /><br />When will people realize that weight isn't usually about the food. I think the processed garbage that we call food has a lot to do with it. Those white foods for sure and that brown rice and whole wheat bread are not of the devil. The body does need carbs to function, just the right ones.<br /><br />Great post.Rita @ Fitbloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16785218686369039617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-41734930055764889392010-04-24T15:48:35.879-05:002010-04-24T15:48:35.879-05:00Bravo!

The surgery fast-tracked my fibromyalgia symptoms and has left me chronically malnourished.

I'm not a scientist or a doctor, or even a nutritionist, but even I can figure out that WLS might change fasting blood glucose but not do anything for post-prandial blood glucose numbers. After all, type 2 diabetes is about insulin resistance, which happens in the cells, and I don't see how WLS could affect insulin resistance, especially if a type 2 diabetic thinks they're "cured" and quits counting carbs and doing all the other things they did to control their diabetes before the WLS.vesta44https://www.blogger.com/profile/15480692717585745934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-75698390275060041322010-04-24T09:49:40.027-05:002010-04-24T09:49:40.027-05:00The argument that excess weight causes diabetes ju...The argument that excess weight causes diabetes just makes me nuts! It's far more likely that some of the metabolic processes that make some people more likely to gain weight are also making them more likely to become diabetic.<br /><br />Personally, I think low-fat/high-carb diets may eventually be implicated. I've known a few people who became type II diabetic later in life. None of them were overweight, but almost all of them followed a LF/HC diet, including lots of "white" foods.Susan Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16005855250089328310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178203.post-46063805817267432622010-04-24T09:07:15.377-05:002010-04-24T09:07:15.377-05:00I always thought it was already known that diabete...I always thought it was already known that diabetes doesn't just come from fat...but I guess some people didn't realize that.Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01377884094601375161noreply@blogger.com
