[QUOTE="Chook, post: 1541412, member: 24561"] What do we know about OP and his health issues - apart from that he's underweight? I think it is quite dangerous to suggest or recommend than just anyone can go on the ND. We need to remember we are all different and while ND can be useful for rapid weightloss and a swift control over BG - there are groups of people that it isn't recommended for. Michael Mosley says in his BSD book that people [B]shouldn't[/B] go on the diet if: - They are under 18 - Their BMI is below 21 - They are recovering from surgery or are generally frail Further, it should be discussed with their doctor before starting the diet if any of the following apply: - They have a history of eating disorders - They are on insulin or diabetic medication other than metformin - as they may need to plan how to reduce medication to avoid too fast a drop in blood sugar - They are on blood pressure tablets - as they may have to reduce or come off them - They have moderate or severe retinopathy - they should have an extra screening within six months of reducing or reversing the diabetes - They are pregnant or breastfeeding - They have a significant psychiatric disorder - They are taking warfarin - They have epilepsy - They have a significant medical condition [/QUOTE]
