People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Ok...
I too am proof that lower carbing and higher fat works. Except 90% of my 51 years has been low carbing... Before it even became an acronym.. LCHF. Not 6 months or 6 years...since the age of 6 or 8 with a few months a few years ago of trying to adopt somebody's suggestion that I ate porridge or toast.
T1 30+ years.
Hba1c between 5.6 to 6.8. Constantly nagged by consultants to raise it. Cholesterol good.
Standard deviation is always below 2.8.
No complications at all.
Only ever went to size 12 when shovelling the toast or porridge for those few months. Apart from that always a size 8/10 and told I am lean and mean
Believe me.... The months I stuffed porridge and or toast for breakfast made me fatter. My levels swung more.
I would love just for one person from the NHS in my lifetime to have asked why I can achieve good levels of everything and others can't.
I hope the NHS will listen. However.....Dr Trudi Deakin is a business woman.... Do you really think that she hasn't weighed up what this will do to her business if she loses the contract for the NHS? She isn't daft. She gets good money for educator services etc. no way is she going to risk that. A book won't rake in the money that the educator courses do. Yes, she is a Dr, but she is a business woman too. She's got a business plan alright.....
