[QUOTE="andcol, post: 889865, member: 96315"] Thanks I think the best way to answer that is my last weeks diet - you will all be shocked but it was what it was. Went out at the weekend with my wife on Saturday and had chicken and chips in a well known restaurant with ice cream and chocolate sauce and then helped finish my wife's chocolate fudge cake. In the even I had bar of chocolate. On Sunday roast dinner with 2 yorkshire puddings and 3 roast potatoes, on Monday I bought some liquorice and ate the whole bag at 2PM sat at my desk (that's a whole 250g) in about 30 minutes! The rest of the week I have eaten normally except for an extra bag of peanuts at lunch time on weds and today and a 150g bar of chocolate on weds. Normal diet is a bowl of porridge for breakfast, lunch is normally meat of some form, carrot battons, lettuce, nuts, raspberries and blueberries, dinner is meat and veg and nuts. BTW I never saw a single number over 7.5 even with the 1/2lb of liquorice. Whilst I was on holiday I was eating lots of french toast and pancakes and chips, tropical fruit. So my normal diet isnt particularly high carb any more but do have regular blow outs of which my body handles perfectly. Not a good example to people so don't follow my lead but is good to know what can be achieved from very high numbers that the nurse reckoned I would be in insulin within a few years when I first seeing her. The key for me is that I tend to eat fairly low carb (except the blow outs) but not dramatically low and I tend to eat carbs and fat in different meals and I tend to live with my cells on the edge of glucose and fat burning so it is easy for them to switch. Interestingly after my blowouts as I am switching back to low carb levels my always get cramps in my calves and tingling in my toes... This will be for about a day. The low carb seems to work for most, I play at it really (as you can tell) and found a diet I liked, which isn't high carb or low carb, and just go with it. I don't worry about eating fat nowadays but do tend to think about the carbs. So yes we have been loed to and the medical bodies/government are culpable and responsible for the health issues we have. Although, they could not have afforded and still couldn't to feed everyone on a high fat and protein diet - carbs are cheap fat isnt. BTW I do have another thread where I talk about my increased carb experiments at the time of doing them - you should be able to find it with a search [/QUOTE]
