I was on Atorvastatin for a year and after a couple of months started suffering muscle pains, frozen shoulder etc,. On going to the GP was given steroid injections and other medications in an attempt to mitigate my symptoms, but I did have my suspicions about the statins as little changed...

This is true I'm on carnivore and OMD. I find I go rarely and I find that dairy helps.

I find the vegan propaganda by the editor hilarious. This not a true study. For a start it only shows association not causation even if the basis wasn't as flimsy as it is. For instance it gives the impression that saturated animal fats are bad and yet a number of randomised controlled trials...

This morning 250g closed cup mushrooms, one slice of black pudding (superfood), two double yolk farm eggs and an extra thick rasher of bacon fried in beef dripping as I do most mornings. Pub dinner consisting of 12oz Ribeye steak (rare) and 4 large flat mushrooms with side salad. For tea...

Looks like a great meal.

I have a fried breakfast. 300g mushrooms, slice black pudding, two eggs, extra thick rasher of bacon all fried in dripping. No carbs. Consequence of this. I lost three stone in three months and my stats are normal ( if there is such a thing).

Another thought. It is important on an LCHF diet to eat a fair amount of protein (notice my breakfast is all protein and fat). I have in my research found articles stating that up to 20% more energy is required to process protein than carbs hence extra calorie loss. Also it has been shown that...

Hi Briped I have been doing LCHF for 9 months now and in the first three months lost three stone ( down from well above 21 stone to just a fraction over eighteen @ 6ft . I keep within the LCHF regime, control my portion sizes and keep my alcohol consumption to a minimum. It is difficult to see...

Congratulations on a great achievement. I am sure that you will continue to see falls in levels for all the main markers in the next few months. I have a salutary about the prescribing of medicines related to type 2. I was put on Ramipril, Metaformin and Atorcoxib in relation to my condition and...

Have been on LCHF for over a year

I find the full gambit of medical support around T2 pitiful. They don't tell you about the side effects of the drugs they put you on and the fact that you could end up having injections for the rest of your life because of medication. My wife is type 2 as am I and has been taking antacids...

After looking at the Daily mail report I noticed the photos with it. A large bottle of pop, a loaf of bread and what looks like a couple of tins of processed food sitting next to the couple on the beach. Another had a woman sitting next to a tube of Pringles. They don't need any help by eating...

Unfortunately I had brain fog before I was started on statins and before I was diagnosed as diabetic. I will be seeing a GP on Wednesday and be asking for a serum testosterone test, but I feel intimidated about asking for it because you always have at the back of your mind that they would have...

Can somebody tell me why having diabetes, total erectile dysfunction, no libido, depression, mood swings, weakness, fatigue and brain fog does not warrant a Serum Testosterone test by my GP's for the past three years, because I have never been recommended for one with these ongoing symptoms. I...

I agree with quite a few of the previous posts. How you can cheat with what is basically a lifelong, life threatening disease is beyond me. I have recently started (five weeks) the low carb program. My attitude is this: If I eat excessive carbs I could end up paying the ultimate price, sounds a...
