I'm not advocating any diet. Just thought this was interesting and maybe others would be interested in reading it.

I thought so too.

Presumably the healthful high carb foods are high in fiber

Will Eating a Gluten Free Diet Be Good if I Have Diabetes, Graves', or Heart Disease?

The question becomes one of physical response: do you need to avoid gluten or are you just better off avoiding wheat and flour-based foods to improve your overall diet, benefit from easier weight loss, and establish a much healthier way of eating. This is particularly relevant if you have diabetes (even prediabetes or gestational diabetes), seek cardiovascular health, have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or thyroid disease.

These guys have some incredible free information on their site and it is very similar to diets avocated by McDougall, Esselstyn, etc., whose dietary recommendations for decades have included:

1.  Grains.  Oats, wheat, etc.
2.  Legumes
3.  Vegetables
4.  Fruits

They have also recommended avoiding processed foods such as oils -- include olive, since they begin going rancid after being extracted, and aren't in their natural state, and have shown by studies to create plaque ("aterial streaks") during testing by researchers.  Avoiding 'animal proteins' is another part of their protocol and eliminating inflammatory foods including processed carbs, Saturated Fats.

The ability to reverse heart disease, reverse Type 2 diabetes (and pre-diabetes aka insulin resistance) and other diseases with their diet is unprecedented.  Joel Fuhrman's is similar, but, it allows for small amounts of animal protein (fish, preferrably).  

Others advocating nearly the same thing:

- Dr. Dale Breseden, MD.  Pioneering researcher at UCLA on reversing Alzheimer's.
- Dr. David Katz, MD.  Yale University.
- Dr. Valter Longo, PhD.  USC's world-recognized expert on longevity.

Although many( e.g. Longo ) who recommend vegan diets also encourage the inclusion of olive oil , I hit the bypass key on it . I almost enjoy dry salads .

Grunt - Big point of confusion.  Longo cites studies where people are consuming large amounts of olive oil daily and other supporters of higher fat diets (eg Hyman) reference this as the rationale for their approach.  At the same time, processed and not delivered the way nature intended and who wants a food that is has begun going rancid?

My apologies: I was not correct in my earlier post.  Here's the program prescribed by Dr. Dale Breseden.
