[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1986253, member: 41816"] Totally agree with you. I am obese, and have been obese for my entire adult life. Interested in nutrition all my life. Lots of reasons for my size, including PCOS, prolactinoma and reactive hypoglycaemia, vit D deficiency and insulin resistance. Long term use of very low carbing has reduced my weight a little and improved my health a lot. Does my weight mean that I shouldn't have opinions on food, eating and health? Or have a career of my choosing. I think not. I can remember a wonderful post from someone (sorry, can't remember who) about their Diabetes Nurse, who also happened to be a diabetic nurse, and who was using low carb on herself, and suggesting it to her patients. She had lost [I][B]6 stone[/B][/I] on LC, and had something like 4 stone still to go. Marvellous achievement. How many of her patients took one look at her, saw a fat nurse, and dismissed her advice because she was 4 stone overweight, and therefore didn't have a clue? [/QUOTE]
