Why The Usual Diet Weight Loss Is WRONG For A Diabetic, (or anyone)

Highest calorie count food is fat, so first thing to go in all these popular diet craze advice is: "cut fat out" to lower calorie total fast.

When you go into a starvation mode of less calorie input then you are burning, your body detects and goes into self preservation "famine" mode. Your body concludes there is a famine in progress, and only those that retain and have fat to dole out over time (with low fat input expected) during a famine will survive.

Your Body Survival System Will Preserve EVERY BIT of fat, Burn ONLY MUSCLE to make up shortage.

Yes, you lose weight, but it will not be fat, the weight loss is muscle mass.

Your body in your younger years had lots of active muscle to dump high sugar levels into. As you got older and became less active the muscle mass declined right along with the high sugar absorption ability. With high resistance developing over long term to sugar storage in cells and less muscle to place it, sugar levels got out of control, and that is diabetes.

Now understand where it compounds. Eventually, like all starvation "count calorie" dieters you can no longer stand to starve and deprive yourself and after losing 20 pounds of muscle mass you go back to putting it back on. This is called yo-yo dieting and when YOU REGAIN, you DO NOT regain the 20 pounds of lost muscle back, you put it back even faster then usual as MORE FAT.

Remember your body has the "famine in progress" decision as mode of operation (you sent that signal when you went on starvation diet) and now craves, searches out and stores ever bit of available sugar as FAT. (part of survival instinct)

The compounding problem now is, the diabetic has 20 pounds less muscle to absorb (or dump high sugar peaks) and result is even higher diabetic sugar peaks and resulting higher insulin level which is what makes your body add fat cell expansion, so now higher sugar peaks mean faster fat making.

You are causing your fat making problem and high sugar peaks problem to escalate each time, as a diabetic.

Now your body will run on and burn fat as a mode of natural operation. Weight you lose now will be natural fat burning (no more muscle burning) and will lose excess fat since you have stopped adding fat (only sugar (carbs) adds body fat (not eaten fat) and you have stopped (all fat making) carb input. 

Write this down.....and verify it if necessary.... to get it straight in your head. once and for all....
