    Barry Groves -has he missed something?

    Hi Nigel I am glad you found that - I looked and could not find where it was from. Sounds a bit like the one Gillian Mckeith awarded herself!

    Barry Groves -has he missed something?

    Well many studies use animals but I think the interesting thing here is that it does link in with prof Taylors research. Jenny Ruhl has not read it either but I guess she would choose to dismiss it! I think it may come back to the fact that excess fat intake does matter.

    What is going on in this forum?

    to be honest if you have looked at the blog and the one he closed down which was even worse then maybe you could understand why some of us are angry! This is soap box topic!

    Catherine - you and I both! It is amazing to me that they can post what they like and expect people to be civil to them over here. Quite frankly anyone who gets involved with that filthy and disgusting blog should not be allowed here - they have all ridiculed DMUk Ally

    how low is low carb?

    Hi Jay I did make an assumption that you fried food so used that in the analysis. So the other extras will add a little more fat but I think a lot of low carbers do struggle to get in extra fat as they are not using butter for bread etc. I think the mayo is probably the same. I highlighted...

    Why We Get Fat

    The carbs certainly are an issue dependant upon their source - sugar is definately a major problem. I find that people will lose wt eating reasonable amounts of CHO - this will of course vary from person to person but I really discourage this notion of treats per day. As I have access to pts...

    how low is low carb?

    Hi Stephen I am not saying it is ideal at all in fact also forgot the fact that the Kcals were around 1800/day and the fibre was extremely low. I am not a big supplement fan but Dr Jay needs to take them as overall his diet is deficient. Alaska - 70g -75 g is the average for a woman some may...

    how low is low carb?

    I eat around 30-35% fat . 15% protein and the remainder as CHO - not sugar but mainly wholegrain bread, baby potatoes with skin , pasta occ and brown rice, pulses and fruit. I would struggle to eat more fat as I actually do not like fat very much - but I use butter, olive oil , mayo. I am slim...

    Why We Get Fat

    If you work in practice then I think you may change your mind - I have 100s of food diaries from real people who are consuming huge amounts of calories. If you listen carefully to Taubes he keeps repeating the words sugar, fructose etc - and yes they are real problems. I do not encourage...

    VLC Dieters

    It would depend on the shake used , quantity etc. The diet would need to be analysed to be sure.

    how low is low carb?

    This is still not answering the question - so what you are saying then is mayo is the answer to low carbing and fat intake because without it the fat intakes would be below the rec! It is not very paleo either and unless freshly made could be full of additives!!! I love mayo but there is a point...

    VLC Dieters

    As a Dietitian I think that it should really be done under supervision. VLD are sometimes used for quick weight loss pre surgery but patients are monitored and their diet would be assessed to ensure that is adequate for micro nutrients. Ally

    how low is low carb?

    Hi I checked with Dr Jay first and he was ok with me posting his food diary. It is of course a snapshot but the results were as follows it would of course be more accurate to do a weighed 7 day intake but it gives a guide. Protein - 142g ( 29.6%) CHO 29g ( 5.5%) Fat 139g ( 64.9%) I have also...

    how low is low carb?

    Well small kids often get a type of toddler diarrhoea and that has been linked to a high fat intake - seems to increase transit time in the gut. That can also continue in older children - has been linked to a type of IBS tummy ache. Plus there is also the actual amount of fat that you can get...

    how low is low carb?

    sorry Jay misread that - been a long week , read it as carbs and diabetic kids? There are references to CHO in the UK govt Dietary reference Values . Do not have a copy to hand!

    how low is low carb?

    Jay - I am not aware of any and if you get the right diabetes education and insulin ratio to carbs then children can get good control. It is hard enough for parents with diabetic kids without making their diet more abnormal. As you know children have very different requirements and do not...

    What happened to Ken?

    Please do not start another slanging match - it is bad enough elsewhere! Ken and Sue put a lot of time in here and I am sure the new mods can see that it is hard work when people start arguing! They are both fine by the way - had a chat with them last week . Ally
