My former GP warned me about taking Vitamin C as it may affect my kidneys - then promptly wrote me a script for Lipitor. That is why I do not see him anymore:sour:

Misspent youth ... No such thing nowadays. Today's "generation snowflake" are too busy being offended and looking for their "personal safe space". ;)

From all the LCHF literature from books and Mr Google (gotta be careful of certain sources) eating fat wont make you fat and wont increase your bsl long and short term. Otherwise, those people on LCHF will NOT be losing weight or will NOT be able to control their blood sugars. Bottom line, my...

The funny thing is, your body can NOT store fat (unlike carbs) and fat will NOT increase you blood sugar (unlike carbs) so you should be okay. I binged on roasts one day eating all the fatty skin and my blood sugars remained normal (6.3) and STILL lost weight. It's just further proof that LCHF...

I refuse to take statin drugs because it gave me short term memory loss. My doctor's cynical question " Would you rather risk a heart attack for no memory loss?" My reply "Forgetting my wife's name (again!) is a fate worse than any heart attack!":nailbiting:

Fasting BG may vary from person to person but in my case, the finger prick blood test was instant. Carbs will raise blood glucose, some faster than others. The best (or the only) carbs to have are the ones found in non starchy vegs like broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce, tomatoes etc. The best...

A lot of medical 'professionals' still bleat on about how bad saturated fat is and how we 'need' carbs to survive. All they need to accept is before the 1970's people were eating the LCHF way and obesity was unheard of. Since Ancel Keys (worth looking up on Google) made the Diet/Health...

Hi Teresa48, I sympathise with you on this, and posted a blog "LCHF and medical professionals" some time ago. Worst case scenario is changing your GP, although this is not always possible. Stick to your commitment, learn as much about the LCHF way of life and enjoy the health benefits it brings...

She cooks dinner for all and that's where the fun starts!:blackeye:

Hi Guys, Does anyone else have problems with family members when doing LCHF? My partner is a hardcore Weight Watcher follower and yes, she is skinny due to eating very little and counting points etc. I have a few pounds to lose and eating fat and low carbs suits me and my T2 Diabetes just fine...

Hi, QB, If your bgl rose to 15, you might still be consuming carbs you may not be aware of (hidden carbs). When I became fully commited to LCHF my weight dropped slowly but my blood sugars went down significantly. I developed this trick of before eating ANYTHING, I ask myself: "Will this food...

We have been brainwashed for so long that it took me a while to get my head around "eat fat to lose fat". But with the amount of low fat products available in the market, why are there so many obese people?

After years of the good old paradigm of "Low Fat and Low Calorie Diet is best" I have finally met a Specialist (endo-crinologist) who advocates Low Carb Diet as the best way to control Type 2 Diabetes and promote weight loss. All the Dieticians, GP's, Educators that I have seen all these years...

Disclaimer: I might have written this before! Johnny was telling his class how his mother, a fighter pilot deployed in Afghanistan was shot down over enemy territory. As she was parachuting down she saw a dozen Taliban waiting on the ground She checked her survival kit and found a flask of...
