    More Media Attention For T2

    He does seem to be 100% wedded to calories based on all my reading / viewing. That's a pity. It's pretty astounding that he specialises in diabetes, but I don't recall him ever talking / writing about carbohydrates and insulin in the context of the most sensible diets for diabetic people. It's...

    Good And Bad Results

    That was my favourite bit. "What have you done with it!? Where is it!? We've got to try to find it! Have you looked behind the sofa?"

    Restrictions - What Diabetics Can And Can't Do ...

    I was told to always wear shoes at home, because it's important to avoid accidental cuts from things I may stand on as they are more likely to get infected if my blood sugar is high, and also I may be less aware of cuts due to less sensitive feet. But I think it's more important to understand...

    Biltong / Jerky Snack

    I ordered 3 flavours of beef jerky and the pemmican in the end. I think I will get in touch and see if they'll make a low-carb pemmican, that's good to know they are open to suggestions. I didn't go for the horse meat jerky. Yet. I'll be placing another order if I like the first one though...

    More Media Attention For T2

    I think his view is that if you can lose overall body fat by any means then you will hopefully lose pancreatic fat. I also think that his view is that the only way to lose overall body fat is to burn more calories than you expend (the bit that irritates a lot of people). So I think he'd say you...

    More Media Attention For T2

    If I understand your point correctly, I think that's the heart of a lot of the issues people have with the messages coming from Newcastle and Roy Taylor. I.e. people object to his simplistic view that body fat is a function of calories. I think the two statements from Roy Taylor which you quote...

    More Media Attention For T2

    I think that's exactly what is being suggested. An overview is here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/12/151201141231.htm

    Biltong / Jerky Snack

    That's a really interesting web site. It's also the only place I've seen in the UK which offers pemmican. I've been wanting to try the sort of pemmican they used on Antarctic explorations for a while now, but don't trust myself to make a palatable version of it. The stuff on this site looks more...

    Got Rid Of Diabetes Type 2 - This Is How

    That's an excellent stat, well done! Does that mean you are having the fast food binge because your recent experience tells you that you can get away with it in terms of blood sugar, or is it just a one-off binge to celebrate, then you'll be back on lower carb food?

    Help! -a Great Low-carb Opportunity In Parliament

    I've just sent an email to my GP along those lines. I felt the need to make more of the fact that the current standard advice from GPs is not great, in case that gave him an extra kick up the **** to attend. Thanks for your efforts. Mine was: Dear Mr. Kawczynski, I live in your constituency...

    I Eat Porridge For Breakfast But Am Trying To Eat A Low Carb Diet

    For quick-and-easy, I often have 30g of mixed nuts with 50ml of milk. It's a bit like muesli. Sometimes I'll add 3 raisins, or a small amount of blueberries / raspberries / strawberries.

    Got Rid Of Diabetes Type 2 - This Is How

    Very well done on making a plan of action, sticking to it, and congratulations on the great results! Not wanting to rain on your parade in the slightest, but I'm also curious as to whether you have a blood glucose meter you use at home. I ask this purely because a lot of people who have managed...

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    I think it was the same team who made a documentary with Michael Moseley and that featured poo transplants and there was far worse endoscopic footage in that one. I was hoping it would give me some scientific insight, but it turned out to be a big pile of c**p.

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    Lol, and feeling a bit queezy. I think that's the first time anyone's mentioned that in this thread. Now that I think about it, that probably was the most novel bit of the show. On the one hand, I was repulsed, but on the other hand I couldn't take my eyes off it, and was glad I stuck with it...

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    Do you mean that the benefits may not be due to the thing they were having more of, but due to having less of something else? That's a fair point, but I don't think it changes the overall picture. For example, one could argue that just because people can thrive on high fat and low carbs doesn't...

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    That was pretty much my take on it after my Googling tonight. Also, there seem to be a few studies where apples and pears are linked to weight loss and reduced risk of T2. Not that any factor which reduces the risk of T2 is necessarily something to include in your life once you have T2, but...

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    I had to buy 5 pairs in a packet. I'll send you any that are left over to see if they'll distract the blackbirds from your strawberries. There will be a price to pay however ... I'm not sure of the going exchange rate between pairs and strawberries, we'll need to work out a deal.

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    Thanks for the personal insight. This is where I think the detail may be important. As with a lot of food, one a day may be have benefits, many a day may have negative impacts. This is why I'm wondering very specifically if one pear a day, especially before exercise, is really such a bad thing...

    "The Truth About Carbs"?

    Yes, it was one of the articles I'd read earlier. I think it was that article which mentioned that fructose was particularly good at causing a fatty liver, which lead me to further research and studies which showed that was only true in a scenario of weight gain, where test subjects (not always...
