- soaps on telly and people talking about the characters as if they were real.
I watched the TV programme about this poor man. I wept with him. He was being cared for by a devoted carer who obviously thought that she was doing right by him by preparing low fat meals; still of gargantuan proportions. Obviously no-one involved in his care knew that low Carb is the most effective diet for most of us. So he lay immobile in bed with his breakfast of 3 slices of toast and jam, under the illusion it would help him. Eventually he came to the attention of a top baryatric surgeon who determined that only surgery with a 50/50 risk of death could help. They went to a lot of trouble to arrange the surgery, ; even shoring up the hospital floor and providing a wider bed and operating table. Surprisingly enough they admitted him to the hospital a bit before the surgery, and put him on a low calorie diet . He lost significant weight in just days. Couldn't they have given the carers instructions which matched that diet? He was immobile and couldn't have gone to the kitchen to get food himself.. He survived surgery and a further operation to remove a huge fat lump on his leg.
What rather surprised me was that the "D" word was never mentioned. If fat is the cause of Diabetes, wouldn't Britain's fattest man be a prime candidate?
The man's life was put at risk because the arrogant medical profession believe their propaganda on[un]healthy eating. and also that without their intervention using toxic drugs or life threatening surgery, problems cannot be solved.
Would that tthe poor man had reeceived psycholgical support and a truly halthy diet. He obviously had will, because he survived everything they threw at him.
