I do lower carbs or reduced carbs ....
Lower fats and good fats
And tweak my veggie diet ....
But I am delighted ....I am almost back to my normal weight ....before I became unwell ...
I know the cause now ...
4 stones lost ....I am me again

It has been a steady weight loss over two years ....

Behave - what a load of tosh
No one should be hostile with another member here .
Based on what they eat or diet plan with .

Hostile unacceptance just creates and breeds negativity .
DCUK is supposed to be a supporting community to
all members .

If a member eats a sack of spuds and another a bag of lettuce leaves
They should both receive the same level/degree of support .

No sides taken within the forum - it isn't a football game here .

So what is it you disagree with ? You don't think the majority of threads here that end up with disagreements are about diet ? I'm confused.....

My reply to your post - is very self explanatory danny .

If there was dialogue (where each contributing had their opinion taken seriously, and nobody had a closed mind, but really considered opinions we do not agree with) rather than debate, (where there has to be a winning and a losing side) we could come to a real understanding of each other.
That would be true progress.
The current method of majority shutting down minority opinions hampers knowledge acquisition.

If everyone spoke from personal experience without trying to convert others to their diet of choice, peace would reign on the forum.

I favour everyone being hooked up to electrodes. If enough ppl hit the report button... ZAPP!!!

My pennyworth on low carb higher fat,
Lost weight although it was not a primary objective.
Ditched bolus & basal insulin, ditched gliclazide
Lowered HbA1c to non diabetic levels.
raised eGFR by huge percentage.
Has it worked for me? HELL YES!!
Would I promote LCHF. I'll tell my story and support them to decide!!
Would I belittle anyone for not following my route HELL NO!!

No thanks ,Would that have worked in pre war & WW2 Germany?

Open flow acceptance for all members here .
No closed minds (acceptance for all ) regardless of what or which ruddy diets
No majority versus minority - No team play with win v lose sides - No scoring system either .

Open flow acceptance debates/support - leading to greater understanding community support for all .

Gotcha

Right.
And when I see plenty of evidence of that approach, I will post about my experience.
Don't expect it to be any time soon, but would be happy to enter dialogue about that.

Agree Brun (without the ZAPP's)

@anna29 @dannyw I'm a bit confused. Looking at your original posts I think you are agreeing with each other. danny says it's a shame there's arguments about diet, we don't need the hostility. Anna says we should all get on and not be hostile because of diet.........I'm not sure why you are disagreeing when you are clearly saying the same thing?????

Although I really don't think anyone diabetic or not should be eating a sack of spuds ............I would suggest counselling, it's very good

I'm very confused too. I asked for clarification but my post was deleted ( again ). I was merely stating the majority of disagreement here is diet related. That's fact, not a challenge.

 

[satindoll]

I have to admit most of the arguments I have seen on the forum are about who eats what, and some of them have gotten pretty nasty.

 

[Pipp]

I hope I haven't put you off ? My comment was very tongue in cheek, certainly not hostile ? I too would like to hear your story but understand too if you don't want to.

No not you personally.

 

[donnellysdogs]

Slightly odd from me.. I didn't actually realise I had low carbed for all my life until coming to this forum.

I really genuinely thought I ate in moderation.

However, my problem was that I did not have enough fat in my diet.

I didn't need any weight loss but as soon as I added more fat in lbs literally fell off me.

But the benefit to me from the realusation of having to have more fat is that my body with the pains in my legs and muscles and my slow colonic has greatly improved.

Its been a struggle to balance the lbs being lost by adding enough fat in to my other foods.

Its not a true sense of success really as I was damaging myself by not having enough fat.. Although being lean. Extra fat made me more lean. Balancing the fat has definitely improved muscle pain enormously but the balancing act when you have no hunger pangs or wanting to eat is **** hard sometimes

 

[Brunneria]

I think this is a valid debate, but it is derailing the thread.

@donnellysdogs -thanks for bringing us back on track.

 

[Pipp]

Can we get back on track, please?

I think this is a valid debate, but it is derailing the thread.

Do you mean me?
Sorry.

 

[Brunneria]

Do you mean me?
Sorry.

Really, I meant anyone debating diet and hostility, on a thread where people are giving their personal diet experiences.

 

[anna29]

I have to admit most of the arguments I have seen on the forum are about who eats what, and some of them have gotten pretty nasty.

This is what shouldn't be happening - we should accept all regardless of what they eat / diet choice.
Hence my posts earlier .

Encourage other members who may have struggled to lose weight to post their
stories/points/opinions .
There will be some who have struggled to lose weight or are still yet struggling .

Let them have a chance to post their story/points/opinions here .
This is what this thread was set up and intended for .
