Hi richm13 . I highly recommend the Newcastle Diet. I too thought I was not ' over weight ' but applying the principles of the Newcastle ' cure ' I ended up fit , lean and lighter than when I was a 16 year old Rugby player. I was surprised at first to be so light, but now I have got...

I can not find a written statement about the blood sugar maximum fasting time, just a remark from a GP in a hurry that it should not be more than 10 hours. But I did find this one, about lipids, just as puzzling . Capital Pathology http://www.capitalpath.com.au/patients/faq.aspx "DO I...

@Bluetit1802 @bulkbiker @Brunneria HELLO again. I got lost in these forums, but about half an hour ago or more i came across a similar thread to this, can anyone help me find it ? The members were discussing blood sugar spike after being on low carb and there were some interesting comments...

Dear Brunneria - That is a very comprehensive list. I have come across the I-eat-wot-I-like-and-don't-you-dare-infringe- etc in one guy I was trying to ' help' , as I sat beside him, his wife tending to his foot ulcers, he was not interested. I have also met quite a few who don't want to...

Hello Biped ! Sorry to hear Danish is also poor info. When I read about Dr Andreas and the Swedish Govt. guidelines being updated to include LCHF I just assumed all of the Nordic Scandinavian countries were together on this.

I've always fasted for at least 12 hours before all my tests as that's the requirement for lipids. Recently I heard that fasting blood sugars should be tested only at maximum 10 hours and a longer fast would give false readings. Can anyone explain this? Should I ask the lab to do two...

Anger that UK USA Australia official organisations promote high carb diets

Hello Brunneria ! I have sent you a private message, because the link above to the calculator seems to be giving wrong info.

Hello everybody. Sorry but I don't really understand tagging, or most of this discussion ! I guess I should read the info about it, must be somewhere on the site. ?

HI @jpen I have read that the most important ratio to look at is the Triglycerides over the HDL and yours seems fine.

Hi @AdamJames and @nosweets Urinating during the night : Prostate ? Blood tests , ultrasound KUB ? This dry mouth however could be something as simple as posture. How about deliberately lying on one side in the " recovery position ".

Try a breakfast of a three egg omelet with cheese, tomatoes, using olive oil and / or butter and a plate of mixed veg. cabbage,broccoli, etc [ yes all on the same plate - can be delicious ] You wont be hungry for a long while and you will be low carb on that.

Hello - I don't totally agree with @Jim Lahey. assume you are type 2 pre diabetic.... AND OK your Dr is wrong. You can eat as much FAT as you want, just avoid veg. oils like corn, soya, which are full of the wrong kind of omegas [ ie full of omega 6 ] and stick to olive, coconut, butter...

with bacon and lots of butter !

My GP '' diabetic nurse '' wanted to put me on statins. When I pointed out my ratios of trig to HDL were great and my total of trig was below the magic number [ according to Prof Ken Sikaris ] and I did NOT need statins, she got upset , and think she went off to have a cry and a smoke. Must...

Hi @svalentine60 well well well...you lasted until you had a pate on toast !? PRETTY GOOD. WELL DONE . All you have to do is get rid of that toast. Try instead of that bit of toast, use a slice of raw cabbage leaf-- then add tomato , fried egg, cheese, whatever - to make a sandwich...
