I would never put any of that stuff in my mouth ever again. What an incredible con job Mr Procter and Mr Gamble played on as all, by convincing the world that agricultural waste products were healthy alternatives to lard and butter.

And so it came to pass that a cartoon character dog offered better nutritional advice to diabetic mice than almost any Doctor (or Dietician) in the whole of the NHS:

First let's get the negatives out of the way: this is a small trial (34 people randomised to two groups) and relatively short term (3 months). This is because it is a pilot trial, designed to test the efficacy of the intervention and the experimental method, as a 'proof-of-concept' for a bigger...

Not that I'm one to boast about myself, but... For the next 6 months I'm going to try and stay in deep ketosis as part of my marathon preparation. I've been eating <25g of carb a day for most of the past 3 years, but I rarely get even a hint of purple unless I'm running a lot and restricting my...

I'm so excited by this, it's a new ketosis (or ketoacidosis) detection device. Instead of urinating on a stick (like ketostix), or testing your blood (like the Optium Neo) this device measures the ketones on your breath. The advantage is that once you've bought it, you don't have to buy more...

Two people are planning to row 2400 miles from San Francisco to Honolulu on a low-carb diet (<10% carbohydrate) http://www.outsideonline.com/fitness/bodywork/the-fit-list/Row-the-Distance-Without-Sugar-or-Carbs.html http://www.fatchancerow.org/ If they can do that, surely I'll be able to run...

This really is scary. http://www.drperlmutter.com/study/risk-factors-progression-brain-atrophy-aging/ So even if you have a great HbA1c your brain still gets 5% smaller every year. Now where did I put the car keys?

Even more reason to keep your BG under tight control: http://www.nature.com/bjc/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/bjc2014150a.html The paper is behind a pay wall, so it's difficult to tell much about the size of the risk, and the influence of HbA1c on it. The fact that they mention "non-diabetic"...

Slowly "low-carb" is starting to slip past the "MyPlate" guardians and get some representation in Diabetes publications. This is a great article in Diabetes Self-Management, one of the more conservative diabetes magazines...

Medical Doctor reverses his chronically high cholesterol with Low Carb High Fat diet and comes to the conclusion that "statins were not going to save me from a heart attack and that my cholesterol levels were all but irrelevant". It is rather interesting to me that statins are being pushed...

This is what healthy eating looks like:

NHS style High Carb / Low Calorie + Exercise Intervention fails, and study is abandoned after 11.5 years of a 13.5 year trial. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/20/healt ... html?_r=2& Here is the diet: http://perfecthealthdiet.com/2012/10/lo ... -crossing/ So it's a 55% carbohydrate diet...

This is what healthy eating really looks like kids. http://032dea4.netsolhost.com/WordPress ... yramid.png Difficult to eat like that and still suffer diabetic complications.

Certain people have ridiculed Jimmy Moore for his weight. Not any more, it seems that he has lost 50lbs on a Phinney and Volek inspired ketogenic diet: http://livinlavidalowcarb.com/blog/befo ... osis/16160 If you don't know Jimmy, he's at the epicentre of the low-carb world, with his regular...

Nice post on Briffa's blog on a T2 diabetic that reversed his diabetes using a low-carb diet, and was told by his GP to ignore his success and that "he MUST eat more carbs" because "you need them for energy". As I wrote in a comment, the only thing that is surprising about this, is that it's not...

A nicely balanced article, with only a couple of small factual errors: http://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/cav ... lpage=true

I often read this forum with my head bowed in shame, because of all the clever low-carb cooking that goes on from WJ, wiflib, Defren and IanD (among others). I'd love to eat all of it, but I cook none of it (although Mrs Borofergie makes a wicked DCUK inspired aubergine lasagna). If she didn't...
