[QUOTE="zand, post: 2098089, member: 85197"] I agree with you. They say it's probably calorie reduction I suppose because they still can't admit that they were wrong and that carbs are the real problem. I too find this so frustrating, irritating and totally irrational. The rant that follows will probably not make sense, I am just too cross to properly string a sentence together. There's a large group of us succeeding with low carb when we have not been advised to follow this path by the medical profession. This group of people have now been proved they were right to go low carb and tell others the good news re low carbing, so I would say that there is a certain amount of intelligence involved in dismissing the Eatwell Plate advice and taking it on ourselves to low carb, in spite of previous official advice to the contrary. We prove that we can carb count because we are successful in controlling our T2 that way, if we didn't have a clue about carb counting then low carb simply wouldn't work. Yet they don't believe us when we say we were quite capable of calorie counting too before we discovered low carbing! I was recently accused of estimating my calorie intake incorrectly before I low carbed and therefore the person did not believe I had actually increased calories when I started following a low carb plan yet still lost weight. How dare 'they' judge us like that. I did NOT estimate it, I weighed and measure everything. Then the suggestion was that people forget to include oils etc when calorie counting! Give me strength! We have the intelligence and common sense to work out for ourselves that the medical profession and DUK were wrong in its advice to us and we also have the intelligence to calorie count properly. Come on, BDA, medical profession, DUK, nutritionists etc just admit you got it wrong. It is not about calorie reduction, it is about T2s being carb intolerant. Thank you DCUK for being here and letting us share our experiences with each other. [/QUOTE]
