My d b n say she is nothing to do with the heart team and its up to me. As you should know by now Never trust a doctor who never sees you or knows nothing about you. And yes the results can be fatal so we have to look out ourselves for any miss prescribing of meds.Presumably the doc wouldn't prescribe something that could have fatal results but then again there is the eat well plate - lol!
What a bunch of numpties. Nothing like denied responsibility or lack of communication!My d b n say she is nothing to do with the heart team and its up to me.

That would be the carb turning into sugar causing higher bs, insulin resistance and sugar stored as fat round th major organs.My Doc is a firm believer that too many calories make you obese. I can't say she doesn't know enough, because I know they have to comply with Government guidelines; which are based on conventional 'non-wisdom'. What chance do we stand if our healers are misinformed, or guided along false routes? It's bewildering at the moment.

Mmol. Sorry should have said. If you go onto the website of this forum then it'll tell you about bs and the norms. Ideally aim for normal (4-5.9) is the goal but in the beginning it will be higher but it will come down if you get good control. My fasting bs is between 6.1-7 and there's nothing I can do about this. By mid morning it's in the 5s and by the evening after food it's about 5-6. I eat lchf with the occasional blip where I have decided to eat something not good for me. This is controlled and is a one off. For the first 3 months I had one glass of wine once. Preserve with the ordering of the meter. You need the discount code if you buy the 5 x 5 pots of strips. Have attached piccie.

one of the ones at my docs surgery sent away a child who was dying and told the mother that it was a virus and to take calpol despite her expressing concerns about t1 as all her immediate family were t1. She took him up to A&E where his bs on admittal was 90! He was straight into intensive care as he was almost in a diabetic coma. They contacted the doc to issue a stern word as if she'd left it one more day they told her he would certainly have been dead! Frightening!A good one from my Dr was .. Gosh .... That's a bad scar on your chest, how did that happen ....He looked surprised when I said it was my heart bypass scar .. He had no idear I have got heart problems. I was called in to be asked why I am taking heart meds... I was then transferred to a heart failure nurse .. Best thing they ever did.
On another occasiona diffrent Dr asked what happened to my leg as it has a long scar on it ... When I said heart bypass op .. Again he had no idear I had a heart problem.
So forgive me if I don't blindly trust their judgments or meds prescribed. I must add NOT all Drs are like this .. I have just had a run of strange ones.
I appreciate that this may have been your own personal experience with LCHF but I believe that if weight loss is a goal then calorie counting is still necessary. Many have posted that they put on weight when trying LCHF because they ignored the need to count calories as well as carbs. With fats being especially high in calories extra caution is required.Hi Phub, If your brave enough to try the LCHF diet then you can forget about calorie counting ... I only wander around the woods with my dogs as heavy exercise is out for me. I have lost 4 stone in 10 months with this new eating plan.. it works and unlike when I counted calories when I was hungery all the time .. on this eating plan I lose weight ..feel great and don't feel hungry .. ? Have fun with your new meter when it arrives .. I also have a code free meter, they are cheeper so can test often when trying out new foods
I'd go a few have posted weight gain, most have posted weight loss, but you can gain weight on LCHF, but doubtful for most people because they aren't use to eating the fats in their diet, so it becomes a normal fat low carb diet.I appreciate that this may have been your own personal experience with LCHF but I believe that if weight loss is a goal then calorie counting is still necessary.

My understanding is that in order to lose weight there must be a calorific deficit of calories taken in by food consumption and expanded to maintain bodily function and fuel physical exercise. The LCHF part relates to the relative proportion of the calorific daily allowance one gets from each macronutrient source: fats, carbs and proteins. LCHF supporters maintain that the majority should come from fats and less from carbs and proteins. The claimed advantage of a high fat low carb diet is that one feels full even on the reduced calories one needs to stick to in order to lose weight.

Actually I don't agree! I don't calorie count either. If you have a chicken breast or a steak and have sauce or butter with loads of greens or a plate of chilli then it's all good. My brekkie is 1 sausage and 2 eggs. I started off with 2 sausages but find I only want one now. Lunch is just nibbles (cheese, cocktail sausages, cherry tomatoes, cucumber or yoghurt and berries) and I have never felt hungry. Not once.I appreciate that this may have been your own personal experience with LCHF but I believe that if weight loss is a goal then calorie counting is still necessary.
