I don't disagree that if you can cut it out that would be great. However, the other nutritional value in the banana far outweighs white bread. If you wanted low carb diet completely I then agree remove the banana. I did think bananas had a higher content or carbs, good to know those values.

I feel this is more a reflection on antibotics abuse which was touched on in the article. As mention the over prescription of the drug on viruses that is has no effect on, and thus killing the good bacteria needlessly. Also, others who take it often don't finish the course which has now led to...

Hi James. As above have already said banana's would be best to avoid though I would say if a bana is being used to replace white bread for example then go for the banana. It does contain a number of other nutrients such as B6 which is required in the body. Banana's do contain around 25-35g...

Interesting read, though in regards to the cornflakes and milk not really at all surpising. It isn't at all nutrient dense and would often want you craving more much like many high carb, high glycemic foods do. I am glad that they didn't find anything wrong with peanut butter otherwise I would...

Interesting what you say, my fear/phobia comes from my parents relationship and the knock on effet that had on the health. Is yours similar (If you don't mind me asking).

Sometimes it is just best to get it off your chest. Sorry to hear the effect it has had on you and your family and I hope things improve. You're completely validated in what you see and volunteering at a MS centre is really amazing of you. Unforunately as you probably know stress will induce...

Hi all. I wanted to share my experience with diabetes and curious to know if anyone has had similar experiences. Type 2 diabetes has ran in my family with my grandad and dad, they both lead a particular unhealthy life with consuming large amounts of alcohol, high carb foods and honestly not...

Here to learn and help.

Thanks for posting this, certainly will be interesting to listen. There are no doubt some foods do provide no benefits, so being label as 'junk food' completely fits. Though it would be interesting to see if oneday labelling changes of food types to be called drugs and see how the general public...

Ah to be honest being lactose intolerant it's a lot easier for me to say it.

Great job, keep it up!

Depends on your definition I guess. Sure if you want a quick lunch from the shop you'll probably struggle or just have limited choice but if you're willing to experiment with your own cooking and just try new foods not at all. Not to mention you can easily bulk cook foods and just stick them in...

Something really to discuss with your GP. However, impaired kidney function would mean that the chemicals in metformin cannot be excreted from the body. If you do go on dialysis this could become quite a problem I would imagine. If your dosage was very high and the excretion of metformin was...

Doing a great job, well done.

Your body will release glycogen which is the stored version of glucose in the body. WHile there is a limited supply when you excersise and you're body will release glycogen to keep your muscles fed.

25 currently, currently coming to grips that I'm 26 this year. Mid to late 20s, not sure how I feel about that. Though not a diabetic I grew up with a father suffering many consequences of type 2 and despite many changes he still does not change. My grandfather also suffered so I do monitor my...

Going Vegan could certainly help but there are many unhealthly vegans out there. The trick would be to stay away from processed foods. I know a few people who went vegan for ethical reasons but due to the fact they love the take of bacon for example they buy the processed bacon from the store...

See i'm lucky enough to live near Bookbarn in somerset. Millions of books just a pound each!

While drinking sugar free drinks may be 'better' in terms of lower calorie intake the artificial sweeteners they [ut in the drinks still raise insulin levels in the body so wouldn't help that much. If you can get rid of all of them completely.
