I agree. It is said that the body will rid itself of the fat that is most harmful first, i.e the ectopic fat around the organs. Only then will the rest of the visceral fat start to shed. Height to waist ratio is a fair guide but the first noticeable fat I lost was from my collar bones. We...

Might I just ask why egg white and not whole egg? Just for a change, perhaps?

This is not about Bipolar Disorder per se but it is interesting nonetheless in that the research is ongoing. It is not a long article...

Amber O'Hearn has a couple of really fascinating presentations on this topic available on YouTube as does Georgia Ede. It is early days but the way I look at it is a dietary approach as an adjunct to conventional treatment is worth a try for some.

Genuine question, do they weigh coma patients to check that the calories in correspond to the calories out? Are calculations wrt to nutrients based solely on weight, gender and age etc?

CICO works great on paper. Meanwhile, in the real world, it is said that 95% to 98*% of those who lose weight using a calorie restricted diet regain the lost weight and some even gain more than they lost. Hence the phrase known and heard by many here "Oh I must go back to WW/SW" the operative...

Those are risk factors not causes. Sedentary Suzie never overweight here.

Yeah, so how do you explain TOFI-ism? I am TOFI and a wheelchair user suffering chronic pain. To clarify, I sit in a wheelchair from waking to sleeping, no regimented exercise, now by your reckoning I should be huge and yet I'm not. Or else I must be eating like a little Jenny Wren... which I...

Dr. Fung and Gary Taubes are by no means alone in their opinions on CIM. There are many who espouse low carb for weight loss and Diabetes management, even the NHS is making tentative steps in recognising (and giving practitioners permission) to prescribe to patients.

Perhaps you may find the 'Carbohydrate Insulin Model' interesting research, after all this is a Diabetes site not only a weight loss site.

Smashing job there, well done You. I too had few symptoms when I was diagnosed at HbA1c 98 and yeah, it is like a bolt from the blue. Onwards and downwards as we say here. Welcome to the forum.

And these 'disease states' are? If my metabolism is not broken then how come I have IR and hyperinsulineamia and hyperglycaemia (this last is now managed by ignoring calories and taking care, instead, of carbohydrate intake)? Type 2 Diabetes is not a disease of calories it is a disease of...

Which is a metabolic (biochemical) argument rather than a mathematics one.

Good point.

Your last line. :happy::woot::woot:

A very interesting view on VitC while following a Ketogenic or Carnivore approach to diet. Not too techy and not too long. https://nutrita.app/article/vitamin-c-on-keto

Apologies, I was referring to the article in the OP.

As a personal choice I tend not to read articles if the author does not put his/her name to them.

Earning a living is not a crime. Peddling dogma to protect one's only income by attacking experts in their field who come to the realisation that they can no longer sit by and watch their patients getting sicker, fatter and requiring amputations, dialysis and stenting is a more admirable trait?

...as a nephrologist.
