[QUOTE="IanD, post: 103614, member: 6186"] Went to see our practice nurse for a flu jab this morning. She apologised for not having the swine flu jab available. When I said "good" she said most of her patients felt like that. She asked how I was & I explained about the success of my low carb diet - & rejecting the standard NHS/DUK/dietitian advice. I pointed out that in the olden days they had to restrict carbs. (My mother cooked for a diabetic lady in the 30s.) She agreed that the diet plate & pyramid were wrong for diabetics - she restricts carbs & she is not diabetic. We went on to discuss fats, & the falacious work that the present recommendations are based on. She didn't tell me off for enjoying butter & cheese - she couldn't as the results of the thorough heart etc checks I had as part of a research project show nothing to refer to the Dr. We agreed that the advice to restrict saturated fats & increase consumption of complex carbs has seen an increase in obesity & heart disease .... She finished up wishing that dietary advice took into account the experience of patients. I wonder ... will she get into trouble when/if she starts recommending a reduced carb diet to diabetics ???? After about 15 minutes another flu jab patient arrived to end to the chat. [/QUOTE]
