Do you know whether any hunter gatherers had low levels like that? Maybe there's nothing to worry about, but I'd like to see an article by a low-carb proponent who says that such a level is normal. I think there is a tendency to ignore problems and say, "Oh, I don't have to worry, because I eat low-carb or whatever." Maybe, maybe not, IMO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-79806884212250225492008-02-19T06:54:00.000+00:002008-02-19T06:54:00.000+00:00Hi Bruce,That's the number.

Back in high carb days she could count a heart rate of 40 during a double poultry feeding lecture. There are a number of markers for thyroid deficiency which are notably absent from her metabolism, it's unlikely with a normal bodyweight, excellent exercise tolerance (aerobic and pilates), normal GI function, good cold tolerance and normal (by Cordain's standards) total cholesterol. My own BP is usually 110-115/70mmHg but when I was seriously exercising late last summer it dropped to high 90s over 60.<BR/><BR/>I think there is way too little information about long term LC eating to say, at this stage, what is normal and what is not in terms of BP. This particularly applies to people such as my wife and I who are LC from choice or as an extension of gluten avoidance, rather than using LC as a treatment for fully established metabolic syndrome, where hypertension is your "normal" starting point...<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-91428894956103695092008-02-19T06:28:00.000+00:002008-02-19T06:28:00.000+00:0095/45 BP is way too low IMO.

I don't think any Dr (low-carb or otherwise) would claim that below 90/60 BP was safe, under any condition. 105/65 is normal, if she's doing high-intensity exercise perhaps. Otherwise, it may indicate sluggish thyroid or other problems. I've always heard that 90/60 is the lower limit for OK blood pressure.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-58054936095319261152008-02-16T06:05:00.000+00:002008-02-16T06:05:00.000+00:00Hi amanda,She ate around 100g/d carbs during pregn...Hi amanda,<BR/><BR/>She ate around 100g/d carbs during pregnancy. She also always eats more protein than I do anyway so we had no concern on that front. No problems with pre eclampsia, I think she did get her blood pressure up to about 105/65, which is higher than her normal value (95/45!!!). She did have problems with hyperemesis so we had her on a multivitamin, she doesn't like offal much and eating "tubes" when you feel sick was not appealing. She just ate normal background green veggies, we grow spinach and kale in the garden. Folate comes from liver in very high amounts (if she could have faced eating it). The other big plus on liver is that women are advised by the NHS to avoid too much of it during pregnancy, so it can't be all bad!<BR/><BR/>Milk was just in tea, cream was everywhere.<BR/><BR/>I like sauekraut too, don't ever seem to get round to making it nowadays though, more's the pity.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-64080213858057839792008-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:002008-02-15T16:54:00.000+00:00hi peter,do you mind if i ask if your wife ate LC ...hi peter,<BR/><BR/>do you mind if i ask if your wife ate LC during her pregnancy? did she eat like you do or did she find she needed more protein and/or carbs? did she happen to drink a lot of milk? i have heard it's important to drink at least a quart of whole milk, but i wonder if that was substituted with mostly cream if it would be okay or even better. <BR/><BR/>there is also the emphasis for pregnant women on getting dark green and bright colored veg like peppers--any opinion as to whether this is a necessity especially if one is doing LC? <BR/><BR/>also, any opinion on true fermented veg like sauerkraut? i happen to love the stuff!<BR/><BR/>thank you!<BR/>amandaMandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00400285605774334968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-31146888732200736402008-02-10T20:52:00.000+00:002008-02-10T20:52:00.000+00:00Hi Richard,I've never personally really used IF as...Hi Richard,<BR/><BR/>I've never personally really used IF as a technique to break insulin resistance. Probably the best bet is to look <A HREF="http://www.diabetes-book.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1158447732/0#0" REL="nofollow">here</A> on Dr Bernstein's forum where there is an 18 page thread by diabetics who are actually doing this.<BR/><BR/>With Metformin (glucophage) there is no problem, a person won't hypo on this drug. Obviously sulpha drugs and insulin are a different matter. If anyone is using basal insulin at genuine basal levels it shouldn't need to stop, but meal covering doses would obviously have to stop. It seems very complex if people are using insulin badly or sulpha drugs at all. Bernstein's site is the place to go, and his book is the diabetes bible.<BR/><BR/>I don't think many diabetic people actually use Dr Bernstein's techniques and it is very problematic to see how the standard ADA disaster protocol could be adapted to intermittent fasting...<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-16954168801567764702008-02-10T17:15:00.000+00:002008-02-10T17:15:00.000+00:00That was interesting.

My first thought was "how did they lower blood sugar?" ...and kept waiting to see how intermittent fasting could have killed them...<BR/><BR/>Peter, a question for you...<BR/><BR/>I have over the last 8-9 months done wonders for myself in lowering my blood pressure, adding lean mass, and losing a lot of fat (20+ lbs, so far) through brief, intense, infrequent workouts, paleo diet (now more fat, less carbs), and intermittent fasting.<BR/><BR/>The intermittent fasting was the real big piece of the puzzle, because it radically altered my appetite and I found myself essentially only wanting to eat meat, animal fat, and minimal veggies or fruit.<BR/><BR/>The changes have been so radical so quick, that people around me are beginning to notice. Some of them have mild type 2 diabetes. Is there anything around that addresses potential health concerns in using intermittent fasting (say, 2- 24-30 hour fasts per week) to control or reverse type II? Offhand, it seems intuitive that one would want to go off or reduce the insulin supplementation while fasting.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for any info you can point out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-15932647027006214372008-02-10T06:03:00.000+00:002008-02-10T06:03:00.000+00:00Hi liza,Thanks for the link, it works fine.

Yes, this one has been all over the net recently and I don't really feel I can improve on either Dr Eades or Regina Wilshire's interpretations. If you're going to feed people on a diet which is essentially 70% sugar then drug their blood glucose levels in to a faint semblance of normality they'll die of drug associated problems. Once you start mixing a statin with clofibrate with pioglitazone with insulin you would expect an excess of cardiac deaths. If nothing else, these people will have had deliberately induced LDL cholesterol deficiency. Their reduced blood glucose is probably the only thing in their favour, which fails to do adequate good in the face of the pharmaceutical input likely to have been used to achieve it, and the cholesterol tinkering which will normally accompany it. Still a very interesting view in to the minds of the researchers.<BR/><BR/>PeterPeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14527788116058656094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36840063.post-44073628793003823842008-02-10T02:43:00.000+00:002008-02-10T02:43:00.000+00:00thought you might like this:http://www.nytimes.com...thought you might like this:<BR/>http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/07/health/07diabetes.html?_r=2&hp&oref=slogin&oref=slogin<BR/><BR/>titled "diabetes study partially halted after deaths"<BR/>would like to see you "fisk" this.<BR/>if you cant access it from abroad i can send you the whole article.<BR/>lizaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14418077590067931315noreply@blogger.com
