    Low Carbs versus NHS recommended diet.

    I am a fan of the good Professor too and almost a year down the track things are still working. At the end of the day it is your weight, condition, medication, research, experimenting, measuring etc etc that will do the trick for YOU. Roy Taylor is a good place to start, you seem to have an open...

    Why Do Diabetics Fail To Adhere To Dietary Regimes?

    I think you can place any interpretation on these questions as you wish. It depends on the assumptions one wishes to make.

    Diabetes Reversal

    Yup, you sure are. You are not the only one either. It's just marvelous what you can achieve when you get a wake up call. I think one thing that is not given enough credit for weight loss/remission etc, is the importance of a good exercise routine with a solid resistance component. Glad you...

    Dr Michael Mosley Book

    You can order it from England and is available from www.thebookdepository.com and whats more - free postage. Great book, great information based on Professor Roy Taylor's Newcastle Diet. Its good science and not from some product/service flogging loony fringe site..

    Binge eating

    There is hope Yammy. It is called Mindfulness Meditation and derived from it is mindful eating. A lot of well meaning people don't get it either and to be fair why or how could they - especially if their knowledge is based on articles. The DSM5 states that: Binge eating is a serious disorder...

    Why Do Diabetics Fail To Adhere To Dietary Regimes?

    Must say I wholeheartedly agree with you. Between Professor Roy Taylor (Newcastle Diet), GI Institute (Sydney University) and in particular the Joslin Diabetes Centre I got myself into a really good space (and continue to stay here following a mediterranean style eating plan). The advice from...

    Ordered My First Sd Codefree Kit :)

    I and some of my fellow diabetics at the local support group have found it is easier to plan. We tend to plan what we eat and work out all the lurid data, then stick to it. There seems to be more truth and accuracy in the fact before than the facts after. I had the dawn phenomena too and a...

    Prediabetes Newcastle Not Working?!?!

    I had the same experience, unfortunately I do not know the answer. I had the dawn phenomena before and I think it dropped in for a visit. Don't forget meters are not that accurate and only give a fairly good guide to what is going on. Whatever you do, keep going as the diet does work...

    Why Do Diabetics Fail To Adhere To Dietary Regimes?

    Impressive results and well done. Its easy to stand on the sideline and cheer for someone who does well and is not a victim in his mind. I am waaaay head of you mate. I'm 69 and still putting the left foot in front of the right on a fairly regular basis. Been a Type 2 since 2010, unfortunately I...

    Why Do Diabetics Fail To Adhere To Dietary Regimes?

    I'm glad and I have plenty more. I attribute it to being a cynical, warped and twisted old b... I can't take credit for the age - but the rest is all my hard work.

    Why Do Diabetics Fail To Adhere To Dietary Regimes?

    I cannot disagree with your attitude. You really have to pick your own way through the prairie cakes. Crickey, its good to see someone talk about "my relationship with my food' and make 'kind decisions about my body'. If I could give gold stars for your comments I would. Regards

    Diabetes Reversal

    I kind of agree with you. The Newcastle diet certainly delivers if followed to its end. The results are awesome but it did not produce reversal (or remission) in my case, but I am not complaining. As the good Professor indicated some of us are a bit too far gone to get back to base 1. I am still...

    Weight loss and exercise and target weight

    None what so ever. Just an old geezer with a well entrenched cynical attitude. I rely on others' expert opinions in this and other areas of my life. However, I do have a distinct leaning towards peer reviewed assessments of 'findings' and 'opinions'. Promise not to trouble you further.

    Weight loss and exercise and target weight

    Yup - no I don't consider it appropriate, as a vast bulk of her 'research' and expert diet advice was done a long time before her PhD (which is post 2013). Probably my shortcoming, but I am unable to find any serious or credible assessment of her opinions on the web (except from ASA and World...

    Weight loss and exercise and target weight

    Yes its fascinating. As is a person with a maths/economics degree doing research on obesity. Then becoming a dietary/nutritionist expert and publisher without appropriate qualifications. As Dr Spock said - it does not compute.
