[QUOTE="seadragon, post: 1039070, member: 195124"] As a pre-diabetic who then lost over 10% of bodyweight I don't believe the PFT can be applied to everyone at all. For many it may well work and is certainly preferable to a lifetime of drugs and the LCHF way of eating seems a fairly painless way of achieving that whilst bariatric surgery is a dangerous and painful and permanent alternative. It is true that my HbA1c is now firmly in the non-diabetic range but I still react badly to carbs in all their forms so weight loss has not had the effect of 'cure' for me although I am happy to have lost it. I was also interested in the Type 4 age related diabetes idea as it might explain why my slim mother developed Type 2 in her 70's and why i was on my way to it in my 50's despite not being overweight. I am glad the Mosley book is out there as I am sure it will help many but I also believe that teaching the low carb high good fats way of eating as a permanent lifestyle would have a greater effect than an 8 week diet which leads people to expect to be 'cured'. They will then revert to their previous way of eating and whether it is the added carbs or the weight gain they are likely to end up back at square one. [/QUOTE]
