Attended my Desmond course today.

[Scandichic]

Had my long awaited course today, part 1 of 2.

I didn't learn anything I didn't already know from this site. There were 10 of us and apart from one other person who was also clued up, the others were certainly beginners.

She spoke to me at the end and asked if I was on a low carb diet, I said I was, she asked if I knew what the long term effects of that would be on my vital organs? I said no, but I knew what the long term effects on my sugar levels would be if I had a high carb diet.

This is certainly an area where the NHS has to modify some of the advice it is giving out.

I await session 2 with great interest

Wonderful!

May I gently suggest that, by your next session, you research 'the longterm effects of a low carb diet on the internal organs'.

And print off your findings.

And give them to her.

I think she may be surprised.

Hysterical! It always amazes me how, despite so much scientific evidence, us low carvers have got it "wrong!"
