[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1032748, member: 88961"] Well, I think to be honest, there's a bit of a mutual appreciation society going on here. Whilst I will be bold enough to take on board and be flattered by your words (even if I haven't been around as long as yourself and others), I do believe that there are some members and/or readers (because of course not everyone who reads joins or participates) who will see your participation as almost legitimising the whole low carb approach, thereby giving them the confidence to give it a go, which unfortunately, as you are fully aware, still means largely swimming against the tide of medical guidance. I have been trying very hard, with my own practise to ignite some “corporate” interest in the approach. My preferred GP (sadly not a partner) really gets it, as does the ANP I was seeing recently after a (non-diabetes related) surgical procedure. I will be seeing her again is a couple of weeks and intend to gift her my copy of Trudy Deakin's book, “Eat Fat”, as she even seems to “get” that once a balance point is achieved in the weight loss and blood scores, many low-carb adopters reach an efficient way of balancing out is to top up on fat. I really do look forward to a time when we can relate tales of breaking ground, and those coming behind us being incredulous to the potentially catastrophic fuel we have been encouraged to take on board. Keep up the good work. We need more publications from you, so that I can keep up my stealth approach on my practise! [/QUOTE]
