I agree entirely - but then my healthy chocolate cake desert plus ice cream changed by blood sugars by only 0.6 mmol for about 15 minutes- so whatever they put in it - does seem like it was good stuff! (not to be repeated very often in any event ! )

It might be a little , though I had half portions of all of those and the cake was flour and sugar free. very hard to guestimate I made up a recipe for such a cake from the net and then guessed my bit ! I'm kinda thinking it must be ballpark ish otherwise my BS would probably have gone higher...

Well the plan went well :) deduct cod and chorizo "off the menu " and add chicken skewer with avocado and lime to start, rib-eye pretty much as planned plus some coleslaw, to finish a half a portion of a stunning flour free chocolate cake and vanilla ice -cream. The entire lot came to...

oops- so much for doing a repetition - I forgot I had dinner out tonight So today's food will be a little later than usual, I've already planned it - cod and chorizo in chimchirri butter to start, ribeye steak, bearnaise sauce, roast pumpkin and mushrooms and a glass of wine ! I will do the...

I believe that FR stands for " structured food reintroduction" TDR is the formula shakes. So basically if you put on 4kg its back to the VLC shakes and starting again for another 4 weeks then another month of reintroducing the Eatwell plate plus high carb low fat, Orlistat assisted diet...

I've seen way too many declarations of " remission" , "cure", "reversal" coming from all sorts of places. My personal view would be that its likely that none of them are anything more than " well controlled" where actually being a well controlled person with diabetes is quite likely to...

The only thing I would be checking on the can , is not the saturated fat level but the omega 6 level. Sardines have a lot of omega 3 which is great, best not to negate the effect of that by using cans that are sunflower or safflower oil which then means that overall the balance tips in...

Reading the details of the goals of the ND study I think one has to be a little careful about what it is designed to achieve and how we can compare it ourselves in terms of telling us that we can use VLC to somehow improve where we already are - (for many of us) . Co-primary endpoints ...

Day 18 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6 kg, current 84.6 kg ) Waist size 86.0 cm (starting 94 cm) It seems my new go to set weight is 85kg ! still that's better than the 89kg I had for months - every half stone counts. yesterday I had the prawn bouillabaise but with added...

Forums create an environment that is very special to the people on it. They can become sources of great comfort or discomfort to the participants. The tide can turn between the two very quickly. For me personally this one is one of the best I have seen at creating a supportive environment...

That's a very interesting corroboration, so thank you. Its strange really, I read all the stuff, I derive conclusions what to do, but then there is so much stuff swirling round in one's head that remembering just why I chose to do those things is quite hard. That's why every few days I...

Day 17 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6 kg, current 85.3 kg ) Waist size 86.0 cm (starting 94 cm) After a very good day of only 1150 calories but after a lot of walking, I have put 0.9 kg on ! BP 116/76 after D2 no drugs (so starting point 106/76 D1, ) no drugs BP drugs...

I completely agree that this should be a standard NHS test. Its ludicrous for any person diagnosed with T2 to b given insulin injections without having some idea of how high their level already is !

I am not sure you can equate what happens in T1 with what happens in T2 , they are so fundamentally different I am not sure why they even have a similar name! As far as I understand it - in T1 there is no insulin in the body to speak of and so a person suffering from it must take insulin ...

A trip to the farmers market, plus pheasant, mixed game, and proper chicken - yum I'm looking forward to next week :) (I don't intend to eat is all myself :) but all of the "tops" have now gone in a stewpot to make a veggie broth .

My thinking is that once your body gets enough food in one hit , it goes into overdrive to process it all . That is possibly why eating more ( of the right stuff at the right time ) may actuially help weight loss. I have been a little surprised to find that eating a ridiculously rich meal once...

Why thank you. Im very much of the school of " gotta laugh " if humanly possible . Life's too short to get overly fussed by evil stuff , do what you can , and if all else fails the whisky will numb the pain lol

In the end we all have to do what works for us each of us and we are all different. I know I spent years on a diet with frequent small low fat meals , it was hell and it gave me diabetes. Which part created the diabetes I don't know. I'm happy to try the reverse until its clear that it...

Fasting insulin, i.e. the background measure can be done easily, its a cheap test, just like all other lipid profiles . You are absolutely right that my hypothesis is that one becomes T2 diabetic though a state of hyperinsulinaemia, i.e. too much insulin . One produces more and more insulin to...
