Hi Mep, there's growing evidence that LOW cholesterol is BAD and HIGH is better. I've been off statins for a while and feel a great deal better when combined with my LCHF lifestyle. You need to do your own research before you decide what's best for you, and here's a good place to start...

Hi MissMac There's a programme on TV this evening called 'Fixing Dad'. It tells of how two sons help reverse their 62 year old father's T2 diabetes and complications using diet and execise. BBC2 10.pm, I recommend watching it. Reversing T2 to normal levels is possible for most sufferers using...

Any serious trauma, like finding out your T2 diabetes, takes a while to get to grips with. But you have a huge resource available to you to find answers and solutions with the internet. Building up your knowledge through reading and conversing with both other sufferers and interested parties...

Read this story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/index.html Encouragement, support and the correct diet will set you right. If you are determined and focused you can beat the disease inside a year. I always found gyms highly demotivating, and they're not necessary to lose weight, but exercise...

Testing your blood is important to gauge what foods spike your blood sugar so you can adjust your diet accordingly. You need to test just before you eat and two hours after you've eaten. You can buy meters and supplies from Amazon or your local pharmacy. Check out this page for more info...

All day breakfasts cooked in lard is one answer. Just think of all those greasy spoon cafes you'll find on your travels. Bacon, sausage, black pudding, fried egg, mushrooms and even a small tomato. Sorry no beans, hash browns or bread.

Just to confuse matters further, the best wisdom currently is that you should avoid cooking with olive oil. It's great as a salad dressing but it apparently turns toxic at high temperatures. Coconut oil is great for cooking with (very high burn point) but it is expensive. I have a similar...

The NHS recommend a daily intake of 3500 mg of potassium a day. http://bit.ly/29gfB8r Which is a lot for someone not eating fruit and root vegetables. Potassium helps regulate the sodium in your body to reduce blood pressure. http://bit.ly/1fpbC6c I've been using potassium supps from Amazon for...

Well done, you can beat type two with a ketogenic diet with the results being obvious to see - both in the much reduced blood glucose readings and weight loss- and difficult to argue against. My GP surgery (lovely people that they are) now accepts the path I've taken over the past year having...

Your first two meals look light on fat. This is probably causing your tiredness/unwellness. Make sure your Greek yoghurt is FULL fat not 0% fat. Try adding an egg a day to your diet (the one true superfood) as well as plenty of butter, cream and cheese but not sugary milk. Plus almonds and...

I think around 100 could be classed as pre-diabetic from a fasting blood test. I find this web page has a clear description of what the numbers mean (http://bit.ly/28VIVQi ) Physically, reducing your high blood sugars (hyperglycemia) is simple enough. You just need to reduce your sugar/carb...

The NHS diet otherwise known as the Eatwell Guide (previously the Eatwell Plate) is produced on behalf of the government by a quango, now called Public Health England, which is made up of supposed experts in the field of nutrition and health. Although slightly tweaked in 2014 the Eatwell Guide...

Drop the Stella and the chips, keep the beef dripping. Voila, you're on the LCHF diet.

The NHS, medical professionals, nutritionists, dietitians, school staff et al have all been influenced (indoctrinated) by the government's Eatwell guide (formerly the Eatwell Plate) since 1994. This is produced on the governments behalf by The British Nutrition Foundation (BNF). This is the...
