Low Carb Diet and Diabetes

Great new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

The authors looked at 20 years worth of diet information to examine if there was an association between low carb diets and a risk of type II diabetes.

They found that diets lower in carbohydrate and higher in fat and protein do not increase the risk of type 2 diabetes in women. In fact, diets rich in vegetable sources of fat and protein may modestly reduce the risk of diabetes.

This is great information and follows the rules outlined by Dr John Berardi's Precision Nutrition plan. In this plan the emphasis is only to consume carbohydrates when you have "earned" them, i.e. in the immediate hours after exercise.
