Thank you and interesting to hear about your experiences. My feeling the cold symptoms sounds very minor in comparison! And in part I feel the cold more after losing my excess weight when I went low carb Are there any good books on thyroid health you can suggest? To help me understand more...

Thank you again @AndBreathe, really appreciate you taking the time to reply. So the fact that all my other blood results were normal and as expected leads me to assume that the weather temperature on the day didn't really affect the blood results. It was done first thing in the morning and...

Hi and thanks for your reply. I got the test done privately with medichecks as I have a couple of (mild) symptoms I thought could be related to my thyroid. And was actually just interested as a part time health coach! I have never had any diagnosis of thyroid problems, but then never had any...

Just remembered about this post and the update is that I did get on Dan's podcast last year if anyone is interested in listening to my story - going and staying low carb for 11 years (and counting!) now :) Low Carb UK podcast #65

Hi and does anyone have any insight or knowledge about thyroid hormones? I did a blood test to check out my levels, more for an experiment that anything else, and it has come back slightly low on T3 (2.57 vs 'normal' of 3.1). T4, TSH and thyroid antibodies all well into normal range. As was...

Thanks for all your replies and help - I had already suggested Jason Fung books were probably available in German [emoji106] Some other useful links and ideas. Thank you [emoji120][emoji120]

He doesn't speak English! Shame for all those diabetics around the world that can't access this wonderful forum :(

Hi and a friend of a friend has recently been diagnosed with T2D in Switzerland (the German speaking part) and I wondered if there was a forum like this in German? Any suggestions for places to send this person off to have a look at would be much appreciated, as I understand he is in quite a bad...

Great podcast! Well done on sharing your story [emoji16] I have also offered to share mine, now I am coming up to my 10 years of low carb anniversary, but not heard anything back from Dan. He seems a busy man.....

Hi and happy to help @FrankieParody

Happy to help!

Thanks for the tag which has prompted me to wake up in terms of the forum - been missing in action for a while

I have been eating low carb for 7 years now with normal HbA1c - that feels pretty long term to me and unless other health issues arise, I can't see why I can't continue well into the future. The insulin resistance may not be 'fixed' but it has gone into hiding

This has actually made me buy the Daily Mail! Who would have thought it... Great stuff :)

Well done you! Top job!

Thanks everyone and I agree he doesn’t seem to bring anything new to the table. So while I was pleased to hear his plea for ‘low’ carb eating being a no brainer but what he suggests isn’t low enough for most of us on here. And almost everything he says is in the interest of flogging something...

Good carbs = low GL apparently - he is a big fan of legumes such as lentils and beans as a source of protein in addition to animal protein.

Hi, I have just been along to a talk this evening by Patrick Holford, who has a new book out called the Hybrid Diet. Which talks about cycling between a lowish but good carb diet and a ketogenic diet, encouraging our bodies to switch between them both, for example on a weekly basis. And I really...

I make the occasional low carb recipe and always ignore the psyllium husk powder part and they still work. Don’t have any, don’t know what it is and it doesn’t sound like real food to me, so I just miss it out...!

Brilliant! A natural in front of the camera :)
