Are you possibly a soft southerner living in the North?

I think, from what studies are showing, that there is an association with low HbA1C and higher mortality (http://care.diabetesjournals.org/content/diacare/35/10/2055.full.pdf) and possibly some connection with liver disease, but that's not saying that one causes the other, just that they're...

My Achilles heel is Jam/Marmalde, we've got cupboards full of it, we go foraging, have friends with allotments and our family pact is that we'll give each other only homemade gifts for Xmas. If we do have a toast and jam-filled breakfast, then I go to the gym and burn off the carbs, by running...

You could try signing this petition, and getting everyone you know to do it. Who knows, the government might listen, but personally, I'm dubious, unless the manufacturers are a big Tory Party donor. https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/151064

Well, on the negative side: Can't partake in the constant sharing of cakes/biscuits at work - feel tempted and left out Very limited where I am with lunch takeaway food, so have to bring in food or spend whole lunch hour getting to Subway and back At festivals, while every other kind of fussy...

I started doing the 8 Week Blood Sugar diet, but only got about 3-4 weeks into it, then just went to a normal LCHF diet, and still continued to lose weight and my blood sugar levels have stayed down too, it could be you're missing out on vital nutrients, minerals or vitamins. You might want to...

It's easy to explain my fatigue, it's usually as a result of prolonged strenuous exercise or night-time rolling around. I used to get tired during the day and nap during the evening, but since following the LCHF diet, losing weight and exercising it's not a problem. Actually I sleep less in...

So it's only for people who are using them?

I suspect part of your problems are the lack of control you feel? That was certainly a feeling I had - I had been cursed with this disease which was slowly killing me and there was nothing I could do - I've tried dieting and exercise before, but just couldn't shift enough weight to make any...

I went to too many punk and heavy metal concerts and fought my way right up the speakers.

Well I'd agree with that, I hate the way dogs prostitute themselves for a biscuit. I lose all respect for them. You can't get a cat to do that.

I've no idea what she's saying, is it about 'mumbling'?

This is the problem with alternative therapies - the 'evidence' is very very poor - anecdotes aren't evidence, and people only listen to the anecdotes which re-affirm their already held To me, the statement that 'she is well into alternative medicine' is a red flag indeed, I mean it's...

A 'stone' is about 6.5kg. In the UK we have some old-fashioned measuring systems: 16oz = 1lb 14lb = 1 stone 2 stone = 1 quarter 4 quarters (112lb) = 1 hundredweight 20 hundredweight = 1 ton.

Mine is ChrisSamsDad - everyone has there own personality, it's not useful or even possible to assign you to a type like proponents of Meyers-Briggs try, there's no evidence to back it up. People will get different values when they re-take - there's nothing to baseline it against - all it can...

There's no evidence it works for anything it all. No research, no scientific testing, nothing, there's not even such a thing as sulphur deficiency, it's a snake oil. You'll find lots of claims for it amongst pedlars of unnecessary supplements, such as Holland & Barret, but if you look for actual...

Well, I know who it isn't:

Well, we don't HAVE to exit the EU in fact. it was just a poll. We need an act of parliament to leave, that's how we do democracy here. If there was an election called, and the party returned was promising not to Brexit, where would that leave us. Gove would take us out, but he's an unelectable...

Well exercise would probably bring both your BP and cholesterol levels down. I get the white coat BP - when I measure at home it's down to about 110/70, but by the time I've got to the doctors it's up to around 130/80. I must try one day to get their 15 mins early and relax before I go in. Last...
