Hi there, and welcome to the T2 motivation channel! Actually there's thousands that wish it were, including me. And we all have individual stories, points of view etc. I think many of us do fall into that same category though. Haven't been too careful of weight and health, and for one reason or...

Such as Diabetic nephropathy. Also there's a bunch of kidney diseases which, unless you show symptoms just sit in the background for years so high protein wouldn't help. In today's sensitive world any gym, or personal trainer should absolutely make sure they understand their clients health and...

Calorie in / Calorie out. Is still in my opinion a valid PART of the arguement. If you overeat whether it is fat or carbs you will not lose weight. As I have said on other posts, reduce calories, and for us T2, my preference is to get more of my calories from fat on an LCHF type diet. We...

I think the issue as pointed out by others is a lack of education on the subject. As most of us on here have become somewhat experts we can see the issues with this guy's approach. It may be, if you have time, that it would help him to gain wider insight by a little bit of education and mention...

In my experience most fitness trainers don't last, they are a fad. There are some great trainers out there and there's some (think you have found one) that aren't. Weight lifting along with other exercise and a LCHF diet are not incompatible. I think he has been subjected to the great...

Ha! Well done you. I too get a bit bent out of shape with inaccurate reporting. Either say nothing, or get it right. Oh yes and please try to get spelling and punctuation right (BBC News take note on both) OCD unfortunate and I have a couple of colleagues who suffer terribly. One in particular...

Again, how your body processes what goes in differs individually. I mention week/ month as many people will work better with averages over longer periods and for trends this works. But again I agree it isn't a great timeframe for reacting to changes. I also measure my weight daily. At exactly...

I have an innate sense of distrust concerning anyone or anything that offers advice when they have something to sell. Individuals,. Government's. All of them and the various challenges to Zoe's books and advertising with the Advertising Standards Agency bear this out. Zoe espouses eating...

The tricky bit is that the human body is an incredibly effective learning machine which is generally programmed to preserve itself (brain function anyway) and calorific deficit can be adjusted or tuned out to a certain extent. Diet and your metabolism adjusts to use less energy, or to source...

However the only things that can get into the body go in through your mouth, nose or an IV drip ( yes there are other means but I exlude medical intervention) Assuming my observations do not go for people being fed via IV or PEG and there are no gasses I am aware of that actually introduce...

Looks like you have the hang of it anyway. But be just as suspicious of any calculations that tell you how many calories you use exercising. The only way to tell is in a clinical setting using alot of machines! Agreed ultra low calorie is no fun. No exciting treats, nothing much tasty. I eat...

At the risk of upsetting thousands of overweight people ( and yes I am usually overweight!) the simple truth is that whatever the issues with your body, if it has more fuel (calories) going in than it used per/day/week/month then you can't lose weight. People confuse healthy eating with...

Just a suggestion but fans just circulate air. If it's hot that means hot air. Try looking on Amazon at cheap coolers such as 'GESUNDHOME Arctic Air - Personal Space Air Cooler - 3-in-1 Portable Mini Air Cooler, Humidifier & Purifier with 7 Colors LED Lights (White&Grey)' £22 and should do the...

Whenever they need one would be the answer. Or more specifically it depends on your control and management of T2 along with other risk factors. NICE guidelines are deliberately ' goal setting' (vague?) Your treatment should be discussed with your healthcare professional along with monitoring...

Oddly if you leave it a day or so the honey overpowers the garlic pretty much completely. Although 'lumpy' honey is a texture that's a bit unexpected. :-)

I'm glad it isn't just me! There are so many accounts of what goes right and wrong and the fact that underneath all of it are real human beings struggling to get it right. All sorts of diets, all sorts of responses. Couple of things that oddly work for me. Honey with fresh garlic chopped into...

Now that IS interesting. Suffering the usual Metabolic Syndrome of Hypertension and T2 and obesity I had defined my goals to exercise and lose weight with a target to reduce my BP and BG sufficiently this year to either reduce or remove at least one medication. Last year I managed to get from...

Hmm. Yes. I rather lost sight of the original thread. My bad. Thread wander seems to kick in around 4 to 5 replies in! And hopefully it's another good day in your struggles. Yes the tea drinking thing is a disappointment.

And your food intake is pretty much ok for the day BUT my recommended intake of potato would be Zero. Just fooling yourself at 1 X small. It's neither a decent portion or free of carbohydrate so would be easy enough to imagine it gone. Berries. Love them. They hate me. If I want to put my BG up...
