I'll need some clarification on what you mean here.
There is actually a lot of science to back up choosing a low carb lifestyle. Especially considering the OP stated that there is a large amount of diabetes in her family. She would probably benefit tremendously from low carb.and sugar is sugar..at the molecular level it is all the same.
Can you please tell my pancreas that? It doesn't seem to understand the concept..
You must have a medical condition!
And the OP said she's trying to avoid a medical condition that's prevalent in her family history; yet, there are still people posting opposition to her want to eat a low carb diet, unprocessed diet.
Whether I have a medical condition or not doesn't matter. The body responds differently to different forms of sugar. To your body they are not the same.
Personally, I don't care what "diet" a person uses... but this whole paleo-clean eating- demonize anything from a grocery story type terminology needs to stop... it's annoying and hyperbolic.
I'm not the one saying the food industry is evil and prepackaged food is bad.
How exactly? Because I don't play in absolutes when it comes to food? I would rather make good choices on my own volition rather than because there is some big bad food boogy man that I supposedly need to avoid?0 -

Meh, if they want to eat that way..that's fine. No one is forcing all of the world to follow in their footsteps. People will believe in what they want. It's not productive to get worked up over the word "real" and hijack the thread of someone who was looking for like minded friends.
I'm not religious so I stay away from churches.
The main point here is to not demonize food... there is no good food or bad food... it's just food... is there some food that is nutritionally better for you, sure... Processed foods are anything that is prepared... so technically, homemade chicken noodle soup made with organic, "clean", whatever descriptor of ingredients you want here is processed... putting food into catagories of "good" and "bad" does nothing but create a superiority complex of dieters and the people that hock them... I really really don't give a flying flip whether someone is vegan, paleo, IIFYM, Low fat, low carb, conventional, whatever... You do what's best for your body... Again, it's how the descriptors are used that ticks me off because you (in a general sense here) are using a broad brush to narrowly paint something just so you (again in general) can feel morally superior in your dietary choices. It's one thing to say "I don't eat pre-packaged food" or "meats raised conventionally"... but when we get into the "I don't eat processed foods" will that's ignorance talking, because like I said, virtually every food that lands on our table is some how processed... even if you are a raw vegan and just wash your food.
I don't think anyone is demonizing food. I also think that there is good and bad food. But, that's just how it is for some people. Some food is worse than other food.
I'm pretty sure someone can feel just as morally superior proclaiming they don't eat prepackaged food as someone saying they don't eat processed food. It's just words. Semantics, really.
I felt the OP's initial post was meant to be friendly. She was in search of like minded people. Then the ones who love to jump in at the sight of the awful phrase 'real food' came in and turned this into a debate. I hope she has better luck in the low carb board.0 -

Carbs don't equal diabetes but low carb can help prevent type 2 diabetes and lessen it's effects on those who already have it.0 -

Maybe because using the term "real food" implies that others eat "fake food"... and is in my opinion creating the false dicotomy between foods. Again, in my opinion it's annoying.0 -

Right, why would you want to hear anything scientific when it comes to low carb? That's ok. I don't feel like getting my scholarly articles out for someone who is just trying to cause trouble.
Bottom line, if you lower the overall blood glucose of those whose levels are on the high side..people with pre diabetes..you might prevent type 2. Just as those on low carb diets with type 2 diabetes have shown to be able to lower their a1c levels dramatically which allows them to lower insulin doses by an average of 95%.0
