A number of people have had successes with a LCHF diet by not necessarily editing the calories, rather the carb content. Agreed that it won't work for all, but there are a number of threads on the forum where calories went up and carbs went down and there was still weight loss. Not denying the...

The additions are no doubt contributing detrimentally. And that's before we even mention soft drinks!

Awesome work!

ah - Professor Sod and one of the only true, universal laws.

This is an interesting read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_calorie_is_a_calorie In particular, "The researchers concluded that the type of calories consumed does affect the number of calories burned by an individual. This conclusion is in direct contrast to what the commonly held belief implies."

As Bob Marley said, 'experience teaches wisdom' :) This is an interesting read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_calorie_is_a_calorie In particular, "The researchers concluded that the type of calories consumed does affect the number of calories burned by an individual. This conclusion is in...

The strangest thing we ever saw was the person who lost weight on a Twinkie Diet. http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2014/10/27/is-a-calorie-really-just-a-calorie/ Twinkies being those sausage-shaped cakes that are pretty yuck!

The pertinent point here is that the same concept(s) don't necessarily apply as a one-fits-all. Hence why some are living evidence that LC works and for some, it doesn't seem to (for whatever reason).

It's about time!

That's more than I was aware of!

How bizarre! We weren't aware of that. Suppose it's never as clear cut as it appears. We can get someone from Medtronic to explain more if that would be helpful?

Agreed, that's a fantastic resource. However, they don't have a tool to assess eligibility, and that's what we're trying to provide. :) We don't seek to replace, merely complement x

Sorry, I don't understand - what is disappointing? This is a pump eligibility tool created based on the latest NICE criteria (at least to our knowledge), based on this. (This is the current eligibility criteria.) Medtronic are simply a partner to process a pump enquiry if you are eligible and...

It's interesting, in hindsight, how manufacturers aren't being requested to produce lower sugar goods, but instead people are being taxed. Similar to bailing out the banks rather than the people?

Nice! How long does that take? Is it on one of the water-filled rowing machines or the air one? I went in one once AND IT WAS SO COLD I never went back - some people love it, I think I prefer the sauna! :)

Well, that is challenging! Thank you for sharing those stats. Very interesting read. It would most likely make front page of the Daily Express, too :)

That's an epic weight loss - good work! What gym workout are you doing? It would be great to share that if you could.

Welcome! x

It's likely to be the meds rather than LCHF. Upset stomachs are not uncommon for those on metformin - take a look at these for more: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/metformin-side-effect.19656/ http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/metformin-sr-and-nausea-how-long.32906/...

Agreed - sorry, it was processed meat. They think that red meat 'probably' causes cancer.
