As it comes to admission time, I smuggle ACV, dark chocolate and home made crackers for the cheese board...well if they are not going to cater for my needs I am still a paying customer.I stocked up while I was there! You can get them from Adonis direct or Amazon, 2g carbs per bar. I smuggle them into coffee shops where there is literally nothing I can eat, (looking at you Costa!)
And it is being done sensibly in that he isn't saying "eat less of what you currently eat", he's saying eat healthier stuff.
But therein lies the problem, what is healthier stuff.
What is good for one is not good for another, even for those whose health is good, it is confusing, some diets work for some, but not for others, and then comes along the next latest fad turning it on its head.
I think on this forum we can forget that we have crossed a certain line in terms of our metabolism, to the point where eating an apple a day has become toxic to us, so LCHF / keto diets are a good way of dealing with that. But I don't think the typical overweight person in this society needs to go that far. The typical industrial diet will be so outrageously unhealthy that even just switching to more natural foods - and that includes a bit of fruit - will hugely increase their health.
I think that this fails to consider that a large portion of the population in the UK have already crossed the point of no easy return. In 2014 a study by the US on english NHS data found that 1/3 of adults without diabetes have prediabetes (by US standards) whether they know it or not.
the space taken up in the supermarkets with breakfast cereals and confectionery to realise this would cost the food industry a massive amount of money.
Except that it's not really that simple...at all.Surely weight gain and weight loss get more confused with all the fancy named diets? If the body requires carbs,proteins, fats and minerals then the individual can look at the calories they consume from what they're eating and take a rough measure of the calories they burn during their day, if calories eaten is greater than calories burnt then they put on weight, that's a simple enough fact to allow one to adjust their diet and exercise to suit.

For you...I didn't watch the program as it doesn't interest me, my 175g daily carbs are complex ones, my proteins from eggs tuna and white meat, fats from olive oil, supplemented with vegetables, my calorie intake roughly matches my calories burnt, keeping me at a steady 80kg with a BMI of 25 and cholesterol of 4, aged 51, so I'd say what I say is right simply as it does seem to work.....
It works for you. I am glad it works for you. It doesnt work me me and several others on here.I didn't watch the program as it doesn't interest me, my 175g daily carbs are complex ones, my proteins from eggs tuna and white meat, fats from olive oil, supplemented with vegetables, my calorie intake roughly matches my calories burnt, keeping me at a steady 80kg with a BMI of 25 and cholesterol of 4, aged 51, so I'd say what I say is right simply as it does seem to work.....
I'm actually quite interested in what you are saying. Does your insulin intake remain pretty constant together with your stable diet?I didn't watch the program as it doesn't interest me, my 175g daily carbs are complex ones, my proteins from eggs tuna and white meat, fats from olive oil, supplemented with vegetables, my calorie intake roughly matches my calories burnt, keeping me at a steady 80kg with a BMI of 25 and cholesterol of 4, aged 51, so I'd say what I say is right simply as it does seem to work.....
I wonder what NHS data that was? For most of my adult life I didn't need to go to the doctors and I certainly didn't have any blood tests. They generally only collect data from people who have medical problems.I think that this fails to consider that a large portion of the population in the UK have already crossed the point of no easy return.

If so it could well be proving that insulin as a fat storage hormone works well if the body is in homeostasis. If you were to have 3 or 4 extra units I wonder if you would gain weight even if your caloric intake and exercise regime remained constant. I'm in no way suggesting that you do that but have you ever noticed that if you have more insulin your weight goes up?
Those of us with deranged Type 2 metabolisms obviously don't have such rigid insulin control as someone who produces no endogenous insulin and only uses exogenous insulin. The fact our bodies are producing probably varying amounts depending on a multitude of circumstances whilst probably being resistant to it as well goes a long way to explaining our weight gain as a symptom rather than a cause of Type 2. So you see it's far more complex than a simple calories in calories out for Type 2's. Which is why eat less and move more is not a solution.
Except when your metabolism is screwed and doesn't work like it should maybe...and when fewer calories leads to BMR slowdown making it even harder to lose weight.why moving more and eating less is always a good start for weight loss
You'd have to define 'pretty constant', but yes my insulin requirements for food are pretty stable but maybe 2u a day less on a training/swimming day, eat more then inject more, 20 years back I was using a lot more insulin to eat a lot more but was over 10kg heavier lean, if I had 4 extra units I'd hypo without eating extra carbs, so for me eating more increases my weight, but not in visceral fat.
I knew a non d guy who did bodybuilding competitions, he pestered me for insulin to use to help weight gain, along with far too many imho anabolic chemicals.
Now here's a thing, he didn't want the insulin for weight gain per se, but to maintain his body in an anabolic state post work out, as in with a positive nitrogen balance, which allows more protein to be synthesised and muscle growth to happen, whereas normally after a work out we become catabolic, and have a negative nitrogen balance which draws nitrogen from the muscles preventing growth, at least that's long story short, which is why moving more and eating less is always a good start for weight loss....
