Am I right in thinking the locum Dr we visited today is wrong? At a request for a HBa1C test, my husband was told to wait a few weeks as 18 days ago he had an op for a knee replacement and his body needs to settle down after the anaesthetic. Surely it's what has been going on with his BG during...

As I'm looking to lose weight I seldom go over 20g carbs a day. I've been pretty steady for the past 4 months with carbs at this level. Normally my morning BG has been around the 6.2 mark, except for the past couple of weeks where my so called dawn phenomenon has dropped to daytime levels of...

This question might appear obvious and pretty basic, but when you're scared of undoing what you've been working on, and a little bit scared of trusting yourself... We've got this young apple tree in the garden, this year it's been allowed to grow 10 or so apples. I love apples, but I've not had...

I'm not 'scientific', I always skip to the 'Conclusion'. The worm surely has turned? "Conclusion A LCD high in fat for six months does not adversely affect endothelial function or selected markers of low-grade inflammation, which suggests that this nutritional approach does not increase the...

Just wondering what is going on. About four weeks ago I started having a squirt of faux maple syrup in a treat I have most nights. Despite monitoring every morsel I eat, I never went, or go, over 20g carbs a day, I'm quite obsessive at watching what I eat. So I was rather concerned that my...

Not sure where I should be sharing this. Think some might find this podcast interesting - dated 3rd June 2023, 28 mins long. On BBC Sounds App, Dr Michael Mosely - Just One More Thing https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m001ngjx

I'm wondering if anyone knows how many carbs in home made chicken stock, stock made from the carcass remains, plus skin, from a roasted chicken. I've been searching on the internet and have only found information that says 3 cups are 29g carbs. Surely that's not right? I made cream of veg soup...

I'm so confused about protein powder. I've come across a recipe for Keto Kentucky Fried Chicken where the author claims using protein powder is unrecognisable from a breaded coating. I'd seriously like to try this recipe. The type of protein powder he used wasn't mentioned. There's whey, pea...

I know it seems a basic or maybe a silly question, so I hope you don't mind my asking. Was diagnosed T2 about 3 years ago having just tipped over the line of prediabetes. I'm on no drugs for diabetes, and haven't really worked hard to control my diet, but I have had 3 or 4 periods of being on...

Fingers crossed this could offer hope for some. The cynic in me is wondering - as this is a medical procedure and it does look the procedure could reduce the reliance on Big Pharma drugs, could this affect the results of the trial...

Bit of a land-mark day today... since confirmed diagnosed T2 on 13th July I've now dropped a clear 10kg! Got to thank this forum with it's friendly moderators and members for their help freely given. You've kept me on the 'keto straight and narrow' by straight talking when I could have strayed...

Interesting theory. "As SARS-CoV-2 continues its global spread, it’s possible that one of the pillars of Covid-19 pandemic control — universal facial masking — might help reduce the severity of disease and ensure that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic. If this hypothesis...

I've suspected I'm really sensitive to fructose, so today @ 11.30am I experimented with eating just two medium sized strawberries with cream. Just before eating I took a quick GS reading. Who knew strawberries could be so 'evil'! I've been rather diligent since starting my new eating regime...

Sorry I can't find the original thread regarding Dr Unwin's infographic petition.... Moderators if required, perhaps you can merge this post to the original? Thanks This vid clip should be shared :)

Confession! I'm scared of carbs, I'm a pitiful carb addict! :nailbiting: There's been a few low carb 'bread threads' on here over the last few days. I know I have to be super careful because I know I can easily slip into baking lovely goodies made with almond and coconut flour every day.... and...

I've been following Dr John Campbell from the start of the Covid crisis. He has a gift for making the complex easy to understand. Why isn't taking Vit D in the main stream news more?

"The first randomized controlled trial (RCT) of vitamin D in COVID-19 has just been published. The results are astounding: vitamin D nearly abolished the odds of requiring treatment in ICU. Although the number of deaths was too small to say for sure, vitamin D may actually abolish the risk of...

Dr Eric Berg - hadn't come across Dr Berg before.... lots of info in the vid.

At just 1.1g carbs for a serving of 'rice' could fill a gap. Customer reviews are positive, though warn that the ingredients need thorough washing before use to take away the 'fishy' smell :wideyed: Wondering if anyone has used them? They do noodles and spaghetti too. Their claim to fame: as...
