		<description><![CDATA[“Which starch would you like with your dinner?” the waiter asked.
He wanted to know if I prefered a baked potato, rice, or corn on the cob with my fish and steamed veggies. Or maybe a side order of pancakes.
His question surprised me, and I could have shot back a question of my own: “What makes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Is taking whey protein powder good or bad for people with type 2 diabetes?”
This was a correspondent’s recent question. I told him that this is such a good question that I would answer him here.
Many people supplement their protein intake with a daily scoop or two of protein powder. Years ago I did that myself.

		<description><![CDATA[One type of saturated fat is especially valuable for those of us who have diabetes. Oils like coconut and MCT are the easiest for us to use, as I have written in my last four posts here, including “The Best Saturated Fats.”
But too many people avoid these great fats because they believe myths about them. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The fats that our bodies can burn most easily are the ones that have medium-length chains of carbons, as I discussed in “The Best Saturated Fats.” This is especially important for those of us who have diabetes when we transition to a very low-carbohydrate diet, which gives us almost all of our energy from fats.

		<description><![CDATA[The best saturated fats are those that our bodies can burn most easily to fuel our energy. These are the fats that are highest in medium-chain triglycerides.
This term is such a mouthful that we usually call them just MCTs. Triglycerides are the big part of vegetable oils and animal fats. Medium-chain means that these fats [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Coconut oil is a special kind of saturated fat. The trouble with saturated fat in general, as I wrote here last week, is that our bodies find them harder to burn than other kinds of fat, like the monounsaturated fat in food like avocados, olive oil, and macadamia nuts.
We manage our diabetes by controlling the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Saturated fat is controversial, even among people with diabetes who follow a very low-carbohydrate lifestyle. When we eat very few carbohydrates, we have to rely on fat for most of our energy. Ron Rosedale, M.D., wrote one of the best books on how and why to follow this lifestyle, so his views on saturated fat [...]]]></description>

Their standard recommendation of 30 minutes a day five times a week works out to 2 ½ hours a week. And that doesn’t count [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The important new book, Eating Your Heart Out?, is indeed about eating and your heart. But it is much more.
I think that it started as an explanation of the BalancePoint protocol. But it is much more than that too.
The authors are Richard C. Williams, Ph.D., Binx Selby, and Binx’s wife, Linda Jade Fong. I have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I decided in 2007 that it was healthy and safe to eat nothing but low-carb meals, I wasn’t sure if I could do it for a long time. I wondered if my diet would have enough variety to remain interesting.
After all, I had stopped eating more than half the products that all our supermarkets [...]]]></description>
