Hi!
Just finished a BERTIE course in Staffordshire and have to say that some of the advice from the Dietitian has left me very confused indeed.
On the first day we were asked what are "goal" for the course was and I stated mine was to help me find a way to lose some weight. Stating that I had read quite a lot in the Daily Mail by Dr Michael Mosley for those with T2 and recently articles by Dr Ian Lake dealing with T1 and lowering carbs.
The dietitian dismissed all of these as being rubbish and going on to have a minor rant about the DM and people pushing these views because they all have something to sell.
Later when calculating the carbs per day at 225g she stated that we must stick to that and not aim for any less. I told her that I often only have a couple of pieces of wholemeal toast a day with no other major carbs with other meals and was basically told off.
She also stated that eating wholemeal bread (or pasta/rice) does not have any affect at all either on carbs or general diet.
I would be interested to hear the views of others and especially those that have successfully lost weight by lowering carb intake.
Thanks
