goldfish_21 is spot on, I found the same thing until my body got used to the lower levels, Although I'm now fairly steady at around 5.2 most of the time, I sometimes go down to 3.9 with no discomfort at all. Ray

Just to clarify, I don't have a low opinion of members here. I therefore apologise to any of the fair minded individuals here who may think I was referring to everyone - I wasn't. I'm still awaiting evidence there are properly conducted trials proving conclusively that sat fat is harmful in...

Anyway, I've yet to see any evidence that following a low carb/high fat diet causes CVD/CHD. To my knowledge every study where the diet included saturated fat it also included high carbs. You're not bombproof if you low carb, you may have sustained damage to organs prior to adopting a low carb...

There are enough of us who are healthily living proof that sat fat is harmless having followed advice from the above et al. Ray

Mod edit - just a touch too personal In any case, I did not say 16gms of carbs would lead to blindness or amputations. I said: "Follow their ideas and you could be sightless and legless too!" 16gms would be more than I could tolerate in an entire meal and I'm sure the same goes for many...

Follow their ideas and you could be sightless and legless too! Ray

Hi Daisy1, They are available on eBay, just do a search for "Waspinator". They're quite cheap as well! Ray

Believe it, or not, you can now buy artificial wasp nests. You stuff them with plastic shopping bags and hang them somewhere you don't want wasps to appear - they do seem to stay away! They utilise the principle that wasps won't approach another colony's nest and therefore give it a wide...

The practice gets a bonus from HMG for every patient with total cholesterol below 5. At least that's my understanding of it. Ray

I rather like: Men are from Earth, women are from Earth. Deal with it! George Carlin Ray

I rest my case. Ray

I don't understand why low carbers are so maligned and misrepresented here. Firstly, "We are all different" is turning into a mantra, so let's look at that. We all need oxygen, we all need water we all need a collection of nutrients/vitamins/ trace elements in that way we are not different...

I suspect the clue is in the line: So many that claim they are low carbing are in fact only reducing their carb intake. That's how a lot of misleading info is bandied about whereby claims are made that low carbing doesn't work. If the carb consumption is still high compared to true low...

One of the problems with the medical profession is they generally pass on what they've been told. This may, or not be correct. Perhaps a nurse has taken the initiative and taken on board some of the current knowledge about carbs and diabetes. This may be at variance with some doctors and...

Good news for mice everywhere :) Seriously, I love strawberries and eat a bowl of them most days with full fat Greek yoghurt and double cream - yummy! I do think I would need to stay in close proximity to a "loo" if I ate 37 though! Ray

I see why it's called "Jugglers". If you fancy juggling with your health OK. but if you follow a high carb diet like this you could well be heading for trouble. "mashed potatoes, white bread" medium release - what? Ray

This is often stated as fact but there are strong arguments that dispel the notion. If you would take the trouble to follow this link and read the article you'll find, at least, food for thought. http://primalmeded.com/2011/05/16/calorie-i/ Ray

Apart from any other aspects, joining the Euro puts our monetary policy in the hands of the Central European Bank. The problem there is you finish up with "one size fits all" monetary policy and interest rates. Look at the stupid situation now where a vibrant economy like Germany's is locked...

Sometimes it appears sensible opinions get mobbed!

What!! What on earth is the point of having a forum then? Do we have to agree with every thing whether it's nonsense or not? And no Sid I didn't start it; I merely pointed out something that was glaringly wrong, but it seems that you have to be one of "the clique" to be allowed an opinion...
