I've no idea. I believe vitamin d can be found in eggs, as well as sunlight. You'd need half a kilo of egg to get 100% vitamin D, according to google. HOw accurate that is, I know not

I can't give you a complete list. I'm not making a definitive claim one way or the other, only going by what the data says. So for instance chicken doesn't seem to have a huge amount of some minerals, or vitamin c, for instance. Certain vitamins are more abundant in plants (vitamin c is a good...

low carb isn't a diet intended for diabetes. I also was diagnosed hypoglycemic, which was the main reason. And all round good health. That said, I don't wish to pursue this line of inquiry.

How much is it? I buy flax because it's cheap. £1 for a week's worth from the shop and it has good fat, omega 6 and a bunch of other stuff (apparently - it's considered a 'superfood', which is porbably as meaningless as '5 a day')

If the argument is that one is at risk of scruvy then that points to a deficiency of Vit C, which is incongruous with a diet that should, if he's telling teh truth, have enough of it. Spinach for instance has a fair amount of the stuff.

going by the nutritional content from sources online it appears, if correct, that meat only doesn't provide enough variety. I'm not saying that's correct, but what else do we go on? Meat is great, very nutritious, but I don't think there's enough evidence it contains all you need (ie, meat as...

Not sure what to do about this. If i cut flax, I cut a major source of fibre. I struggled on keto with low fibre. It wasnt pleasant.

that makes no sense. If you eat a lot of veg (presumably including lots of green leafy stuff) how can you not have vitamin C?

Could you eat only chicken/poultry? How much offal/liver is necessary - as healthy as it is, it's such an acquired taste! I get that people say this diet is healthy for them, fair enough, but I just don't see how you get enough of all the vitamins and nutrients. There seem to be so many...

Well that's depressing, but I have to say it's not terribly conclusive. Some people like a more varied diet, but I'm not one of them. I eat what I eat because it tastes nice, which is important, and is affordable. But I'm not immediately taken with these claims. They are no more convincing...

it is low carb. meat: chicken or pork veg: spinach, sometimes broccoli. I take flaxseed as fibre: about 50g cooked in a muffin eaten in slices with each meal.

This has been a problem for some time. I'm not sure what causes it. After breakfast I often have some discomfort, sometimes it can be more pronounced than others. I added fibre at the start of the year to ease constipation. However I seem to have developed almost the opposite symptom. the...

Very interesting thanks

Of course but that doesn't speak as to whether the claim is true

Um referring to the broader claim, nit just women with diabetes

Sorry no, it's a study specifically referring to heart disease, I'll try to find the source. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2014/04/140423170903.htm

There's an article on this site that reports on a study alleging a link between Heme Iron, ostensibly from red meat (iirc), and heart disease. As a low carber I eat a lot of meat as I'm sure others do. Has this study been debunked?

i usually buy rock salt from tesco. it doesn't have any additives listed and seems ok, but its not ground

how much mg is in a spray?

sodium is about half the intake from salt. So that's about 3g which is, iirc, the minimum. LC requires a little more for reasons just mentioned: low carb flushes out a lot of sodium
