@Debandez, I would commend you for all you are doing to promote the success of LCHF. Having watched your TV appearance with Doctor Zoe, I did feel you were ‘gagged’ a little, and that she and the presenters did not allow your full message to get across.
LCHF is a regime I have used myself for 4 years, following a weight loss of 49kg on VLCD. It was the initial VLCD that did give me remission/ reversal/control of blood glucose ( whatever one wants to call it). Despite maintaing LOW CARB lifestyle, and regular exercise regime, and I.F, I don’t lose weight on LCHF, indeed am quite envious of those who do. Also recently, after 6 years of below diabetes BG levels, I am seeing an increased HbA1c, whilst still keeping low carb, under 60g a day.
What I am trying to get across here, is that although I am in agreement with the thread title, (and would hate to see the thread turn into a battleground between methods of control of T2) there are always exeptions to the rule, and in promoting LCHF exclusively, it isn’t necessary to devalue VLCD which is can be very successful as a mechananism for some. Success of LCHF speaks for itself.
