    Sugar Tax

    Yep, dietary pleasure trap. Same reward circuit as any drug.

    Great article in the Independent today regarding Fat in the diet

    very simplistic approach to nutrition - doesn't differentiate enough for a reasonable conclusion!

    Metformin

    Defo - and good work. I mutually agreed to get shot of prescription meds as well several years ago. I think the conclusion I took was that the benefits of drug therapy will erode with time. Sounds like your lipid panel is trending towards sensible too! :)

    Dairy

    As written by the earlier responses, virtually everyone has said from their own experiences that they've become more healthy once they have stopped or reduced their consumption of dairy. It just makes sense, we need milk once in our lives from birth until the end of weaning, and that is our...

    Dairy

    I'm not here to argue. Dairy is cruel and unnecessary - it's that simple. I appreciate your point, but I'm sorry, you're wrong.

    Dairy

    Lots of skin conditions certainly do seem to 'disappear' on stopping consumption of animal secretions. My wife suffered from terrible acne, which disappeared within a month on cessation of dairy products!

    Weed and diabetes

    I was in California for most of November so picked up a script for marijuana - my partner had some edibles for period pain which worked very well and I just had some fun - at the dispensary there were a lot of people there with type 2 diabetes, so certainly a popular choice.

    Dairy

    I look for foods such as squashes and jackfruit to main satiety - a vegan diet can be terrible, and you're right nuts are extremely fattening, particularly the way they are marketed these days. Dairy is just a weird one though, quite why someone would even want to drink the mammary fluid of...

    Dairy

    Give it a go, I thought curry without meat would be as boring as a cat owner's dinner party but actually i found it's amazing! :)

    Dairy

    Great to read that people have ditched dairy, it's truly cruel and disgusting and the health benefits all appear great :)

    Type 2 What is the health goal here?

    Exactly, likening me to a child abuser is just plain weird - you have to question what drugs these people are on! :)

    Type 2 What is the health goal here?

    It sounds like this forum gets trolled a lot - most popular ones do. Now we have a divergence of data... The list of countries and incidence of overall diabetic incidence that was copy/pasted isn't consistent with the Wiley link... And that's from two people who appear to post moderately on...

    Type 2 What is the health goal here?

    I am taken though, so don't get your hopes up ;)

    Type 2 What is the health goal here?

    That's a good question, and I think it's about what works for somebody with respect to adherence and implementation. The newcastle diet, for example isn't something that someone could sustain for a long time and lead a normal life - and it really lacks an exit strategy. Low carb diets with a...
