    There's no such thing as a no carb no sugar diet.

    Where did you get this idea?

    I'm new at this and I might get some "snarky", as some say responses from my recommendation, but I just found a book called "21 day Sugar Detox" on Amazon. It's simple but I like it. I'm struggling with allergy/immunity issues and cutting back on carbs really seems to help a lot. There are a couple of Low Carb groups here too.

    Low carbs and low sugar is not the same as No carbs and No sugar.

    You need carbs and you need sugar. Now if you need a low carb & low sugar diet then we can talk. Otherwise you may enter into a diet that makes you hate life and doesn't benefit you whatsoever.

    Also I assume you mean cutting back on carbs that are low in nutrition, enriched, etc rather than "good carbs" from vegetables, some grains, beans, etc and cutting back on sugar from empty calorie foods like candy and cakes rather than from dairy, fruit, or veggies. Generally, that's what people mean :wink:

    Ask your doctor to refer you to a nutritionist who specializes in the diet you need to eat for your medical problems.

    This. I don't think asking a bunch of strangers on the internet is really going to provide you with a solution to your "health problems," especially in reference to a radically restrictive diet.

    A friend told me about the ideal protein diet, it includes protein shakes, lots of vegetables, meat or alternative & a healthy protein bar. I'm going to try this diet out, to help lose some weight, but also to help stop the sugar cravings. Instead of taking the ideal protein shakes, I have a similar shake (isoflex). the diet is very low in Carbs & sugar. Alternatively, eating lots of protein & veggies can be effective as well.

    That's actually a hot debate right now. I know it's popped up several times in the past but they're arguing whether or not the body needs any dietary carbohydrate at all because of it's ability to create sugar from fat. Interesting idea :)

    Paleo is, by far, the best nutritional plan I have ever used on my clients. It gets the most consistent results. Give it a whirl :)

    OP you mentioned chronic heartburn from bingeing in another post. Is this the reasoning behind the low/no sugar/carbs? Have you spoken with a nutritionist. Or done a food diary to suss out trigger foods for yourself?

    There is NO such thing as best nutritional plan. You can hit all your macronurtrient and micronutrient needs through normal eating. You do not have to give up specific foods to improve health. If you have any studies from the NIH or American Journal of Medicine or other unbias research facilities, i would love to see them.


    OP, outside of a medical condition (PCOS, POTS, Celiac, etc..) or the fact that specific foods cause you to binge, there is no reason to restrict carbs and sugar. Reducing these will not increase fat loss as it takes 3500 calories (not a specific macro) less to lose a lb of fat. What is really important outside of a calorie deficit, is getting about .8-1g of protein and .35g of fat per lb of lean body mass. If you have lower calories, than increasing protein and fats will increase satiety. Also, plenty of veggies will increase health and regularity as they are loaded with fiber.

    You need some carbs for vital organ function... many argue 15-20g a day, which will still keep you in ketosis if you really want to go low carb...

    If you're diabetic, this could be suicide, putting yourself into a state of ketoacidosis

    Ketoacidosis does not happen solely from being in ketosis. These are very different. Ketoacidosis occurs only when the kidneys are not able to function properly. Ketosis is a state of burning fat instead of glucose for energy. Ketoacidosis is when the body is unable to excreet the excess ketones not used for energy. This is most common in Type I diabetics and is very rare in Type II diabetics. For Type II diabetics, being in ketosis can be very healthy.

    The body does not create sugar from fats... it can create glucose from protein. It is a stress response due to the fact that the brain desires glucose (it's preferred fuel) to function. Sure one could argue that you really don't need to eat carbs to get glucose for the brain since the body can make it on it's own... but then one could also argue the vital importance of eating carbs for glucose for the brain since the body will go as far as to put itself in a stressed state to make glucose on its own at all costs...

    You are correct. I'm just lazy and didn't feel like getting the science unless OP identified being Type 1. :flowerforyou:

    I don't understand what is so difficult about finding a no sugar, no carb diet. You just eat nothing but meat, meat, and more meat. Simple. Not sustainable or a good idea, but simple.
