Your "macros" don't matter. Just eat real food. Mostly plants. A little of everything else.

Low carb makes more sense though. Diabetes is real. Counting "protein" seems made up.

Nobody (or next to no one, baring people with unusually rare disorders) gets diabetes from eating beans, sweet potatoes, and apples. "Low carb" makes zero sense at all, unless you're a moron.

People get type 2 diabetes from eating garbage (which is often carb heavy) and being completely sedentary.

It’s the pop tarts, not the “carbs” in the pop tarts.

You clearly are unaware of those who have genetic predispositions to Type 2. I am from a family that deals with this constantly. And no, we are not eating pop tarts. We exercise obsessively, we eat well, we limit our carbs, and make sure we balance with fiber, fat and protein.

It always amazes me the people who think they know everything about everyone, and use a broad brush and arrogantly assume it applies to everyone.

Yeah, actually my parents both have type 2. But I don’t kid myself that I’m genetically predisposed to it. Instead, I just live a healthy lifestyle, unlike them.

Ask yourself why type 2 has been skyrocketing. Genetic predispositions must change FAST.

Uh, if both your parents have T2D then yes, you are likely genetically predisposed to it. As many of your ancestors may have been throughout history.

At some point, you have to recognize the "assign no blame machine" for what it is. Get a grip.

Any "genetic predisposition" which may actually be metabolically genetic and not behaviorally genetic is just a flagging mechanism for somebody to be particularly vigilant. There is a sliding scale of what people can get away with in terms of eating garbage and being unactive. If you are on the wrong end of that, you should be more careful.

Virtually nobody develops metabolic disease from eating too many whole foods in appropriate proportions and being reasonably active. I have my doubts as to whether that is even possible, "genetic predisposition" or otherwise.

You must be young and arrogantly think whatever you do applies to everyone. Get back to us when you're in your late 50s.

I have known two long time vegetarians who have developed Type 2 diabetes. It is in fact the carb.

Well, the first issue was the lack of a balanced diet. And, once they decided against doing that, they developed metabolic disease because they were consuming far too many substitutes and refined carbohydrates in the form of breads, pastas, and other things. That is true 99% of the time this happens.

Nobody develops metabolic disease from chick pea consumption.

Carbs are not necessary. Your body can make glucose from fats and proteins.

"counting" is just for people who are insulin sensitive, or people really into training like bodybuilding or having difficulty losing weight.

As far as generalizations and ridiculous terms like "gen z", that's just nonsene or social media trends.

Does your body also make fiber from fats and proteins?

Is this why we’re seeing a dramatic uptick in young people with colon cancer?

Fiber is not necessary for regular BM's unless you are eating too little fat.

Fat is what keeps things moving nicely.

That is due to preservatives and additives in processed foods, glyphosate in most all seeds which corn is in most ALL processed foods now, along with microplastics. It's not a secret.

This is a perfect example. Vegetarian does not necessarily equal healthy. Vegetarian doesn’t mean one isn’t sitting around eating cookies and potato chips all day.

No one ever got diabetes from eating sweet potatoes and apples.

Stop getting your nutrition advice from snake oil salesmen out to sell books.
