    I can't argue with the title of this post but the referenced article was pretty weak.

    It's a meta-analysis of 28 other studies, so how was it weak?

    Already clarified -- the original paper didn't give the details of the included 28 studies. How the sample is put together really matters so IMHO that made the paper weak and really not possible to assess. Additional details have been have been posted but I've not taken the time to read through it..

    I was insulin resistant pre diabetic last may. I'm the first to say I was eating way too many refined carbs. was it sweat potatoe no it was all the white flour products a d excess sugar.

    I cut out sugar and wheat and keep my carbs around 100. I've lost 67 pounds and still have that much more to loose. I still count calories cause they count regardless of what Macro they are. On vacation I allowed myself some wheat products within reason...my joints were inflamed and I was constantly hungry. so I took it back out. I eat healthy grains and fruits and veggies and it keeps my hunger in check and I feel better. it works for me but something else might work for you.
