Thanks - do you know of a DUK comment on "The Truth About Carbs" ?

Having followed a LCHF lifestyle for 10 years (after following the NHS high carb diet for 8 years & having reversed ALL the adverse effects of the NHS diet in 3 months) while maintaining a stable BMI & fitness, I watched with interest. My further interest is for my epileptic granddaughter...

Thanks folk - I've been off-line since moving mid Feb so I can catch up now.

That's right, I'm wearing their shirt in this film. THanks, I'll follow that up. Actually I went on the expert course after I started low carb - the dietitian recommended it. That was before Dr Deakin started low carb herself, so I wrote to her complaining about the advice regarding fats ...

Trouble is, the medical professionals prescribe epilim. A keto diet is no danger to health - & obviously we will watch her carefully & adapt as necessary. e,g, In their rejection of a low carb diet, the DUKs warn against constipation. Such a condition is readily corrected by diet adjustment...

Wonderful! Thanks!

Thanks everyone for your helpful comments. I'm working through the 3 pages. Her fits are very worrying, sometimes when they wake her in the morning sh'e in a deep sleep having had a fit. She takes a long time to recover. An added worry is the recent concerns on TV about the effect of epilim...

Good memory, @wiflib but no two of our sons married within 6 months, & have children 5 & nearly 3. Michael, previously mentioned, is in excellent health. Ava is in trouble.

Were moving to Peterchurch, Hereford, to be near family. Our 5 yo granddaughter there suffers from epilepsy. I would like to lead her family in the direction of a keto diet, Has anyone experience with keto for children? She is not diabetic, thankfully. She's not a good eater, but she does...

We're moving to Peterchurch - do any members live in the Hereford area? I've enjoyed meeting with the Hounslow support group & contributing to NW London discussions. Also our 5 yo granddaughter there suffers from epilepsy. I would like to lead her family in the direction of a keto diet, Has...

I'm reading Verner Wheelock's new book - wonderful to read of another doctor who has abandoned the party line on high carb - which he helped promote long ago. This year will complete 10 years on LCHF. My health was completely transformed - restored from crippling peripheral neuropathy - & 10...

bump!

Thanks @AishaDublin for posting that & reminding us of this thread. 9 years ago I was becoming crippled with neuropathy & other complications - that was after 8 years on the DUK/NHS diet. With advice from Fergus on this forum I switched to low carb. In just 3 months my health was transformed...

I'd forgotten these poll figures - would have been useful yesterday at a North West London Diabetes Services meeting. The three accepted indicators ("risk factors") of Diabetes health/progress are: HbA1c less than 7.5 %, 58 mmol/mol BP less than 140/80 Cholesterol less than 4.0 I have read...

Interesting to see this thread reappear after more than a year.

The latest BALANCE - Spring 2017 - declares on the cover: GO WITH THE GRAIN Then on page 48 they report: 'No proof' sugar-free drinks are better, says review. The text below reports research by University College London & two universities in Brazil. I was thinking about rushing out & buying...

The infamous study by Ancel Keys that was (& still is) the basis for associating fat consumption with heart disease was reviewed: 14. Harcombe Z, Baker JS, Cooper SM, Davies B, Sculthorpe N, DiNicolantonio JJ, Grace F. Evidence from randomised controlled trials did not support the introduction...

I did refer to those programmes in my emails to DUK: Recent BBC programmes I'm sure you have also seen the recent BBC programmes which addressed the problems - http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b07xwstx/fat-v-carbs-with-jamie-owen which was basically a very successful short-term dietary...
