[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2355015, member: 403497"] That is an incredible story, a lot of hardship but many triumphs too. I think it is a testament to your character and that you kept going and found a way - many may have become angry and or given up. You worked it out for yourself, and regardless of how - the point is it does and it has made you much better. This is incredibly helpful and rewarding to me because either I do what many do and disregard such experiences because they do not fit the text book theories of what should happen or try to find out why and convince others in these fields. As I have said, I have no doubt low carbohydrate works for people, I just struggle with the explanation which as a clinician is important for me for many reasons - such as being able to justify why I might use them. Thankfully, incorporating low carbohydrate diets (not ketogenic ones) into a dietary plan isn't quite as difficult as it was even 5 years ago. However when I work for a particular trust they will have programmes for weight loss, diabetes etc and I have to stick with these broadly speaking. Luckily I can justify adapting the approach if their programmes do not work - there is no clear evidence reduced carbohydrate diets are risky, unhealthy etc (some argue they are). The issue is explaining to peers how it works to convince ha ha. To you I say well done on doing what top medical practitioners in their respective fields could not do and thank you for sharing it with me and others. [/QUOTE]
