So, realizing that I've got hypoglycemic symptoms, I looked up a recommended hypoglycemic diet. Here's an excerpt:
"2. Eat a high fiber, complex carbohydrate, low-fat, protein-rich diet. 3. Emphasize whole grains, fresh vegetables (raw when possible), and fresh fruit. 4. Minimize sugar intake."
I don't know, but this seems to be really close to a low-carb diet. If this is a medically accepted diet, why is there such a refusal by the medical community to accept low-carb diets?
Go Figure!

You are right. One of the biggest revelations of low-carbing has been the very significant connection between weight problems and blood-sugar/metabolism/insulin/diabetes. Diabetics were treated with low-carb diets for years, but no one put this together, and the medical community are still willfully blind to the connection. It makes no sense at all. We have no choice but to take our health into our own hands. The "experts" and researchers cannot be trusted. Sometimes it seems we have to go way off base before the truth is discovered. It seems this has been the case with low-carb. We've utterly wasted 30 years and billions of dollars studying the unscientific myth of low-fat.
