Hi Jo. Well... you asked what I eat. Here's tonight's dinner - chickpea curry. BG before was 5.8. 2 hours later it was 8.4. No oil, no faces!

Well it's my birthday in 3 weeks and a I have been fantasising about treating myself to a handful of peanuts. A girl's gotta dream, eh? So, fat. The low carb way talks about the belly fat you need to lose (had it, lost it - waistline now 5 inches smaller than in Feb). The Barnard (and other...

Re nuts: the path I'm following is all about avoiding fat, the theory being that fat blocks the insulin receptors in cells. So I'm going with that - for now anyway. No nuts, no oil. But many more carbs than my previous (Dr Mosley) regime allowed. Good carbs though. Funnily enough, after I'd...

Hi Jo Thanks for your figures. Sounds like we have different approaches. Luckily both diets seem to work. When I was first diagnosed with T2D, although I was one of the 10% who are not overweight, I did the weight loss thing (as per Dr Michael Mosley) and went on the low carb diet, but I was...

I am new to this, so please forgive my ignorance. I have done the 800 calories diet and have reached my target weight (which is 48kg - I wasn't overweight before I started). So now, am I correct in thinking, I have to look at carbs, not calories? Do calories matter any more? And why am I always...

What do people here think of 'net' carbs? Are they a scientifically proven thing?

I've always loved cooking. But now I've been diagnosed as T2D, and I'm also vegan, to further complicate matters. Trying to work out and make 3 balanced meals adding up to 800 calories a day on top of everything else in life is more than I can manage at the moment. So I think it's going to be...
