Dear anderson3000 - YES ? NO ? DENIAL ! - that's the real killer. At least you know it and admit it. Try googling Guardian newspaper uk , look up the stories of Richard Doughty and Carlos Cervantes which inspired me . As for ' sweet tooth ' ? Grit those teeth and be determined to enjoy...

HI Kristin251 -I like the sound of your diet BUT - Can you be clearer about units please ? e.g You say 5 oz of protein a day. Call this 140 grams. Now is this grams of' protein containing food ' or grams of ' actual protein' . To get 140 grams of actual protein you would have to eat...

Dear Jaylee I don't understand all your references to tagging. Please explain. I don't use twitter or those other things, only online like this

Ancel Keys was the man who got the whole western world fearing fat. He distorted his results in the Seven Countries Study and gave us 50 years of wrong advice. The food manufacturers took the fat out of the food and then put in sugar. The sugar and carbs are the problem as they cause LIVER FAT...

Hi Seagal ! No need to be ashamed . Sounds like your Dr needs to be ashamed . You have made the first decision - to learn how to help yourself. Welcome to online education. So many Drs. health professional are really unprofessional when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Google up Richard...

Dear Zand '' It's carbs together with fat that causes the problem'' ? But Ancel Keys is discredited now. I understand it is NOT the dietary Fat which is the problem . It is the excess of Carbs which are then changed via a special metabolic pathway into LIVER FAT and it is this Liver...

Dear BKW, Diabetic advice in UK and elsewhere is in a mess. My own experience with the diabetic nurse was shocking . I knew more about it than she did, and her advice was hopelessly out of date. My GP’s had allowed me to plod along as a ‘ pre diabetic ‘ for years without sternly warning me of...

HI FREEMA. I read the link - it's worth pointing out that a diet restricting fats will cause more hunger pangs than a diet restricting carbs. The hunger sensation comes from the carb derived blood sugar levels falling. When eating low carbs and high fats, there are less hunger pangs , so I...

HI I have not really studied Bernstein except to note he is very interested in the insulin required to stabilise his sugars. On this info, and knowing that Proteins DO provoke an insulin response, I am surprised to see you describing his diet as high protein. Perhaps it is how one defines high...

Hi Freema - I suppose it is partly attitude. I told myself that however hard it was, I was going to stick with it as I was determined to do my best . My GP was so unhelpful and discouraging. I was really bashed down mentally. It was a case of ' When the going gets tough the Tough gets going...

That's the stuff ! Sadly the only way to get through to these inadequate people is to put it in writing. With all the latest information about LCHF and the changing times we live in, the reversal of the 50 years of wrong dietary advice from ANCEL KEYS to go LOW FAT, it is time diabetics...

Sad news. I was told I was type 2 last October and was left with no proper advice or help by the local drs. I went on line in a panic to educate myself. I give thanks to God, my lucky stars, fate etc that this happened to me when it did. With the new advice from the US Dieticians on...

Hi sorry and surprised you found it brutal. I was amazed how easy it was. I was determined to do it - and I had never dieted before. Cutting out the fast starches and then writing down everything I ate, with the calories and carbs - it was fun if time consuming. Being retired, I had the time...

HI I have read that tropical fruits are bad, have a high Glycaemic index, even a high Glycaemic load - pancakes are heavy carb. Good fruits I read are papaya and apple and cold country fruits, the odd banana especially if it is a bit green, and strawberries and blackberries. Pure orange juice...
