Dr Richard Bernstein is anything but “an ordinary diabetic”, but that is how he described himself in his book Diabetes Solution, which helped shape the low-carb diet.

Bernstein himself has type 1 diabetes. He is now aged 81 and attributes his surpassing of the average life expectancy for type 1 diabetes to a low-carb diet and keeping good blood sugar control.

“I’ve been a type 2 diabetic for three years. I became a carer and my weight went right up. When I went to the doctors, they told me to watch my calories. I found the Low Carb Diet on the forum and thought I’d see what it was like. Within the first month I’d dropped a stone. I knew I had to keep it up. I went from 22 stone to 14! There’s no need to be hungry on the Low Carb diet- it’s just making the right choices.”

Have a great day,
