The human body is amaizngly resilient if you give it the right foods to eat. People forget that all of our cells are renewed every few days/ weeks and they are all made from the stuff we actually eat . You might be pleasantly surprised at just how much your function comes back if you...

Surely the first step is to check that you are eating a properly healthy diet? A healthy diet does not include anything with sugar in it and its clear from many studies that refined processed foods are not good for any of us. You cannot hurt your child by eating good quality nutricious foods...

https://anhinternational.org/2018/06/20/swiss-food-for-thought-on-nutrition-controversies/ here is a paper brought out from the conference, Hopefully my bit at the bottom represents HOPE !

( I can't be worse than Trump ! - there again - its hard to see who could )

I too am utterly frustrated about the speed of change and the disparate interest groups. I do think that Swiss Re involvement is a game changer becuase they truly do have an interest in making this work. The LCHF guys have been working in isolation and shunned by the establishment for so long...

I think whenever your long held belief system is under threat it is bound to cause ill feeling. I do think its easy to understimate what Swiss Re achieved in organising this. Actually get Watter Willet and Dan Mozaffarian and Jennie Brande Miller into the same room and presenting their own...

Oh I knew I was speaking for many of us . I was kinda incadescent to be honest and interestingly I noticed a sound boom hovering over us as we were speaking. So I assume someone actually caught the conversation with Mozzafarian on tape. Later I was asked by two separate film crews to record...

I have been priviliged to attend both of the conferences, and being the slightly noise lady that I am, also both make a few points and have conversations with a few of the experts including both of the diabetes.co.uk representatives Nina Teicholz, Gary Taubes, Zoe Harcombe, Eric Westman...

sure, please do

So pleased to be able to attend the Swiss Re conference Food For Thought http://institute.swissre.com/events/food_for_thought_bmj.html Four days of fascinating presetantations. First two days included presentations by epidemiologists defending our current food guidelines and an astonishing...

There are a few papers - that reflect on the compositions and ratios being indicators of IR . I must admit my own studies have tended to bring up TG and HDL rather than TC and HDL though I can appeciate that in any event one will follow from the other. As it was discussed at a round table of...

I think its now generally accepted that its the levels of insulin that are the probem and getting them lower the better is optimal, However insulin is also " pulsatile" in the very short tems, so readings can vary quite a lot even within a minute - so that's one reason the test is not in...

ha ha, yes I did get a tad carried away, still, no doubt I wasn't the only one. I have been quite amused about all the low carb fuss recently, both the UK TV program and Michael Msely neatly sidestepping the issue of fats alltogether just replace all those starchy carbs with the nice green...

are you sure that you are actually spending the night at these levels. I regulalry gt to 7.5-8.5 for a short period in the morning following the dawn effect but I can see that the rest of the night it was under 5.00 from the freestyle.

As far as I know ketosis is simply a state whereby your body is not getting enough food to operate without fat burning and thus ALL successful weight loss diets will result in your body being in ketosis for at least some of the time including a shake diet. I was in higher nutritional ketosis...

I agree with you totally . It's actually pathetic that people would be misled this way. I have great admiration for anyone that has lost weight on a liquid VLC diet but it's no way to live your life or plan your future . Sending a message that's it's the best way to deal with diabetes long...

I saw that and sighed because it suddenly just became Clear it's not really a helpful program for diabetics at all . In my experience it's perfectly possible to control blood sugars on low carb with or without weight loss. As such its a treatment for everyone. It must be so dispiriting to be...

It made me think about one of my favourite " low fat recipes" . Before making the switch I used to stave off hunger pangs with homemade coleslaw - grated cabbage, onion, carrots, cauliflower and apple in a low fat mayonaise to which I added moisture with a little more skimmed milk. Looking...

One other critical point he made - whilst fibre is important, adding back fibre to anything already denuded of fibre is pointless because it will not be processed in the same way - so all those " added fibre" healthy options are simply hot air.

there are two your tube discussions between him and Ivor Both are fascinating Both follow a similar story that that which I set out in my blog last year and what I have found in practice. Gabor explains why the high carb no fat diet can work ( i.e. there can be no processed foods)...
