Re: gas/bloating after starting ut?

Regarding meat.... there are many on curezone who won't agree with me, but.   I was diagnosed with prostate cancer 15 years ago and went on McDougall for almost a year afterward, then basically fell off.  (I cancelled my surgery date to have my prostate removed, and still have it.)  Then two years ago was diagnosed with diabetes and my clinic put me (and all their diabetes patients) on a high protein diet - maximum of 15 carbohydrates per meal (Atkins induction diet is 50 carbos a day, so it's less than Atkins).  It was a diet that I thought would kill me.  Not true.  I've lost some weight, my blood lipid profile has significantly improved - cholesterol from 285+ down to 215, even with a lot of fat, triglicerides (which they say is what plugs your arteries) from 385 (over 60 is bad) down to 33!  

What I've learned is that - carbohydrates kill.  Now if you're eating veggies, not those kind, but all grains and everything that has been processed.  Read an outstanding book - "The Seven Daughters of Eve" and learned that the reason that women didn't produce many children during the era of pre-agriculture was because as long as they were lactating they couldn't get pregnant, and that they lactated for 3 to 5 years after giving birth.  Their diet was mainly game, very few vegetables.  However, with the advent of agriculture - farming, their high carbohydrate diet changed their bodies so that lactation no longer worked as a birth control!!!  They could now have children as often as their body could produce them.  Also, in studying the Egyptian mummies they have determined that they had a high incidence of hardening of the arteries - plaque build ups, and heart disease - and they were eating the American Heart Association diet!!!  (No white flour, no sugar, blah blah blah.)

I am in control of my diabetes without medication.  Don't knock a high protein diet and you really have to completely relearn everything you thought you knew, and your body goes through a lot of adjustments in the process.
