Well it looks like there may be a scrap brewing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-36345768 (I hope so it's well overdue)

When we're toddlers we start to learn the very simple behaviour-consequence model. And consequently we do more of certain things and less of others. Of course there are exceptions but consequences are a good place to start and unless he is actually addicted to your goodies should deliver a...

Yeah it can be quite dramatic, but if the dosage is calculated accurately it can be very effective. It is also available as a topical application. I remember reading an article about the two scientists that developed the treatment. They had been using it for decades and they literally looked 20...

I agree that low carbing improves the skin. Although never troubled by the heavy scarring type acne, my skin always needed managing. So I've tried everything from the wide array of OTC products available at the pharmacy to courses of Roaccutane - available via a Dermatology specialist's...

Exactly what worked for me too. Telling myself I could smoke whenever I wanted - provided I REALLY wanted to is what made it easy not to. Nothing will command your attention more than forbidden fruit. If you make a fully congruent commitment to choosing when to smoke - provided you are aware of...

Yeah, this has been a recurring issue the site has obviously been targeted. @Giverny has been doing a good job of cleaning it up.

@PrincessRahma depending on which country you have moved to you may actually find it easier to manage than in the UK. The actual 'normal' carbohydrates are only half the story the other half is the obsession with sugar which is not present to anywhere near the same extent in every culture. But I...

Echo what Muzza said above. Good luck.

Anyone able to advise on what to look out for in ketoacidosis. I'm sure I read on here that it can be triggered by fasting diets.

Ended up in A&E having various tests this evening, some of which were blood tests, interestingly liver function returned to normal. Haven't had blood sugars tested yet as they weren't screened. But hoping the liver function returning to normal is a sign the Newcastle Diet was worthwhile.

When I used to do training runs it would be common to be in a lot of pain, but jogging not so. Some questions might help identify if this is natural muscle fatigue or a problem: - You've been doing it for a year so has the pain always been there? - Is the pain there every single run? - Where...

I don't think you're missing out on much to be honest. The approach she's taken sounds like installing what's known as a 'revulsion strategy'. This may be valid for perhaps an isolated craving but you're looking to overhaul your diet and switch out entire food groups. Ultimately to do this you...

So were these the ones that were made horrid or was that another group of foods?

Did she do this with the food groups that you are trying to stop eating?

It's not always that simple to sort these things out. If a hacker manages to install a 'backdoor script' on the server it means that as soon as you clear infected files they can instantly reinfect the server. A large website can have hundreds of thousands of files and the script can be disguised...

@annalaix I doubt you're really that envious of his ability to eat fried foods - although it may feel like it because we often focus on the things we can't have so much more (which is one reason choice is so powerful for undoing the hold certain naughty things have on us). Anyway the way I...

Hi @TerryinDorset just wondering how you have found the consistency of these scales? Specifically the body fat measurements. I've looked at some of the reviews online and there seems to be some doubt about the consistency of measurements. Although there is also some doubt about people's ability...

Well you're already doing very well having lost 18lbs in 8 weeks. Personally I made my own mind up about when and how long to do the diet for and what to do next. Only you can know if you need to get medical advice about dieting etc. By today's standards at 71 you're still a spring chicken...

Ok well some people have to go to a lower BMI to use weight loss as a trigger to 'reverse' diabetes. The 18lbs you lost just may not be enough yet. But you really need to be testing more than just FBG if possible? And I'm not sure if being on a fasting diet impacts FBG readings, I haven't read...

So you're doing the right things. I know it's not a perfect measure of where you need to be but what is your BMI right now? And by fasting do you mean the 5:2 fast?
