[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2355019, member: 403497"] Hi. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with me. Yes, it still boggles my mind that a diet of 1000kcals did not cause weight loss (not as much as used too though). Given your weight and activity, I roughly worked out your calorie requirement and in 'theory', we should have seen weight come off. I understand how frustrating it would have been having many 'professionals' not believing this and probably saying maybe that you were not counting accurately or not remembering everything you ate because we mindlessly consume food etc etc. I can see how serious you take this and how vigorously you would have monitored your diet. This is what happened - we need to accept that regardless of whether it fits our understanding or not. I know you believe you have the answer ask to why it worked and disagree with my difficulty with the insulin idea. You're the one that achieved what specialists couldn't so I have to take your lead here. As I said, I am going back to a few sticking points which convinced me it wasn’t insulin to see if I have missed something because what I was taught isn't answering these results and or lack of. I hope I am not coming across as patronising and my messages are received in the spirit I send them. I take these things seriously and hope to learn, improve - ultimately so I can help people. Something is happening here that I know certain Professional circles believe with certainty cannot happen so I need to get this out there more and also ensure I do not ever subject any person I work with to the frustrating unhelpful experiences you have had. Part of the issue for me is that to be listened to, I have to show the how which I struggle to explain meaning its hard to convince people who make policies and programmes. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
