[QUOTE="martinsk8r, post: 517651, member: 101652"] Hi and welcome to being a diabetic, Indeed you have a lot to learn and it will help you build a better life, and I say better as without diagnosis your health would have slipped downhill. One of the first things I had to learn was that it is not 'you are what you eat' as the NHS seems to promote. I don't believe the nurses dare to stray from the guidelines that come down from NHS and the government health ministers. Their job is to follow guidelines and not be a loose canon. I belived them for 5 years, don't eat fat, don't eat anything from cows, red meat, lard, cream etc. But if eating that makes you fat the cow must be eating tons of the stuff! No, they eat mostly grass and cereal. I then started to look at LCHF and found my answers. Improvements all round. AND I achieved my lowest cholesterol readings on a high fat diet. So read lots, try Barry Groves books if you want a starter Healthy eating and natural weight loss is a good starter in my opinion. Still not convinced? Elephants eat green stuff and Cheaters eat meat. You decide what you want to be. Enjoy your new life. [/QUOTE]
