I'm pretty sure diet filled with legumes, leafy greens, has the same result.

There is no blood sugar spike when you eat 1500kcal of beans. It's slow releasing carb filled with fiber.

I'm pretty sure at /r/plantbaseddiet or /r/vegan many people state that their blood sugar or cholesterol improves.

Right yes, I didn’t mean for the high-fat variant. Just in general, low-carb, in any combo, seems to be a healthy option.

I eat about 60-70% of calories in carbs. Would that be high carb? Most of my carbs come from legumes, I get no sugar spikes, am T1 diabetic and need insulin mostly to replenish it every morning, not after every meal.
