Can you eat a low-carb plant-based diet? The answer is, you don't want to do that. And Dr. Joel Fuhrman explains why.

For starters, many people are so drawn to low-carb diets like the ketogenic diet because it has proven to be so effective for weight loss. What's more, these diets' ability to stabilize blood sugar levels is so alluring to people with diabetes.

And as you may have guessed already, this doesn't sit well with Mastering Diabetes who tenaciously promotes a low-fat whole-food plant-based diet. For quite some time now, the team has talked to different nutrition experts and discussed why a low-carb diet is not a great choice especially for people with diabetes. For one thing, a low-carb diet would rely heavily on meat and would be high in fat. What's up with fat? It's the extreme amount of saturated fat that can lead to insulin resistance.

But people are curious. They want to find out: what if they eat plant-based or vegan but low on carbohydrate intake?

Here's Dr. Joel Fuhrman on why a high-fat low carb plant-based diet is problematic.
