[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's a trend. Just like the "low carb" idiocy.

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. [/quote]

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.[/quote]

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. [/quote]

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.   :roll: [/quote]

Agreed - this is complete BS. Genetic predisposition is one thing, but all that does in 99% of the cases is hasten the ultimate outcome of type 2 that happens MORE DIRECTLY because of lifestyle and overconsumption issues. Virtually nobody trips over type 2 diabetes running on the straight and narrow.

An alternative is that people are not being honest with themselves or their health care providers about their actual lifestyle.
