"There is only two things that are infinite: the universe and human stupidity" Albert Einstein

I have managed to lose 9 kilos this year alone and no longer rely on quick acting and slow acting insulin as well as reducing my oral meds to just metformin once daily. All this through IF and LCHF. I will come off metformin when my BSL gets into the 4's-5's (at the moment it's sitting around...

My wish is to live long enough to see Dieticians, Diabetic Nurses, Doctors and all other health 'professionals' (as well as state and federal Health Ministers) admit that following a 1950's health model of low fat low calorie diet IS WRONG! I am so sick of DAA's 'evidence based practice'. My own...

This 'fat is bad' started in the 40's and 50's when a scientist Ancel Keys did two studies 'The Diet Heart Hypothesis' and 'The Lipid Hypothesis'. Without getting bogged in too much detail, consider that after all these years, it's still referred to as a hypothesis, and look at what's happenned...

My comments are nothing more than light hearted banter, but I do believe that a vegan dietician DID actually say that! The point I was trying to raise was the irony that the Paleo dieters don't consume dairy (cavemen didn't milk yaks, cows goats etc) and the same goes for vegans (can't eat any...

Did you hear about the vegan dietician who strongly opposed Paleo because:"it's dangerous to omit whole food groups in any diet":)

I know the feeling serenity, even family members who have been brainwashed with the low cal / low fat mantra, "don't eat the chicken skin, or the pork crackling, it will make you fat!" It only get's worse when dealing with health 'professionals' who is giving wrong advice and pushing medication...

Speaking of Americans, Prez Trump got advice from the Chinese when formulating his policy of building the wall. How many Mexicans are there in China? Their wall obviously works!:D

Hi Everyone, I'm week 2 into an intermittent fasting schedule and all I can say is IT'S FANTASTIC! Together with LCHF I have experienced: *More energy *Clearer mind *NO HUNGER!:hungry: *BSL in the 7's *Reduced medications (stopped insulin injections) *Weight loss (4kg and counting):smug: There...

Look up "Intermittent Fasting For Beginners - Diet Doctor".This is linked to Dr Fung and other LCHF lecturers. Very easy to understand and a wealth of information.:)

I recently read this quote that stuck in my mind: "It's not what you eat between Christmas and New Year that counts, it's what you eat between New Year and Christmas ... "

Instead of starving people to death doctors of that era (gosh, they were wrong then) should have allowed their patients to eat fats and proteins and that's a way to get rid of carbs without dying with in six months. Since you have posted in the Low Carb Diet forum, read how others overcame their...

Good on you, BTE! Your doctor seems to be one in a million with most of them keeping you on statins till you drop! My goal in life is to get off ALL medications, but I'll be happy if I don't have to inject insulin three times a day even if I still have to take Metformin. And like you, I strongly...

This was the dialogue during a recent appointment: Dr. (after reviewing my BSL record): "It's good to see your blood sugars are normal. It must be the medications that you are on." Me: "Well actually, I halved my medications. I have drastically reduced my carb intake" Dr: "No, you must not...

I used to subscribe to the "Diabetic Living" magazines photographed in that article.This magazine 'dedicated to improving the lives of Diabetics' is supported by Diabetes Australia and the Austrialian Dieticicians Association. Just looking at the food pictured at the front cover shows the carb...

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

THE GOAT OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT:)

A bit more useful than gold, frankincense and myrrh?

Welcome to the human race. If I can use the 'riding a bicycle' analogy: when you fall off a bike, get back on it and move on. We are on this journey (LCHF) and Diabetes for the rest of our lives. A moment of weakness is just that, a moment. Enjoy the rest of your life and just don't forget the...
