Some limericks on another forum prompted these.
They are offered tongue in cheek, as a relief from more weighty discussions !

An NHS dietitian might say
'Eat your five fruit and veg every day.
There's some omega three
In the fish for your tea.
But the chips must be banished away'


The glycemic index you know
Divides the fast carbs from the slow.
No more white, sliced bread
Choose whole grains instead
Or surely your stomach will grow.


In adopting the diet from Crete
You should substitute fish for your meat
Black olives with cheese,
Fruit and veg as you please
And drink some red wine for a treat.


An extremely low carber, one feels,
Must cut all the starch from his meals.
He may dine out on fat,
And if unhappy with that,
Could turn Inuit and start hunting seals!

YOUR TURN NOW!
 
Doctors are rubbish
Dieticians are ****
If you take their advice
You deserve to be slapped

:twisted:
 
There's Fergus and Tubs, Dennis and Sue,
Stu, Katherine and Timo 2.
Not forgetting Totsy and Jem,
We all really appreciate them.

Forget all the white coats,
They'l get on your goat.
It's the DUK forum,
That shows such decorum.

Biology, science of friendly advise,
Everyone helps and are ever so nice.
They'l help with your diet, low carb or not,
And never stray far away from the plot.

As you can see, i ain't no poet,
I'd be better off if i could sew it.
thanks for reading my silly ditty,
hope it didn't get on your t****.

Excellent thread! :mrgreen:
 
I'm on a roll!
A lady from Reading named Hana,
Climbs up steep hills with great stamina
She swims twice each week,
To improve her physique
With a good A1C, there's no stoppin' her
( I hope you don't mind Hana)
 
Of course I don't mind!
It's funny.
 
LOL this is really funny, I wish I was clever enough to write poetry.

Let's have some more of this please

Love to all

Husbands getting bored with my poetic endeavours but says this is me, even though its masculine !
(spoken with a French accent)

An amiable Francais from Cannes
Ate thrice daily Boursin and pain.
His doctor said 'Non,
You must choose only one'
He chose neither, and got drunk on vin.
 
Diabetes is the name
Cutting carbs is the game
We try our best every day
Then we hear the Dr. say
"This is not the way to go
Eat more starch, don't you know?"
How the heck can we win
If advice is really dim?
Do it your way. it is right,
Numbers down, control is tight.
 
The diabetic diet,
A debate that’s never quiet.
The ‘party line’ high carb, low
GI diet we need to know,
What’s best for us, now that’s the question?
Each one is best, what a suggestion!
To find the one that’s best for you,
Experiment, read, try a few.
Test and test, important of course,
To control your levels the driving force.
We are all different, there’s no doubt
When you find the one for you, come on, shout it out!
Only by comparing notes, can we hope to find,
Knowledge, control, a healthier life, from the Community mind.

or


The carb it is a tricky beast, it flits from thigh to thigh,
And if you’re diabetic, it sends your bloods sky high!
 
Here goes....

If healthier you want to be
You're diet must be almost carbs free
More protein and more fat
that's where this site is at

Questions, queries and answers galore
Everybody keeps coming back for more
Wea ll make contacts, messages and friends
the suggestions, hope and advice never ends.
