Good morning from Barnsley. Well, to be precise, good morning from a Barnsley girl in Vera Playa Spain, where we are lucky enough to spend the winters, that also helps us with the walking, we aim to do 10,000 steps a day, usually along the promenade. We have been LCHF for about 5 years and regained our health in every way and restored our vitality.
Is the tide really turning? I don’t know, whilst I spend a lot of my time talking to other like minded individuals on the internet, I meet very few committed ‘low-carbers’ in real life, they all play at it, including the diabetic people I know.
Despite my very strong family history of diabetes (grandmother, father, brother, niece T1 and I don’t think I have a single over 50 family member on my father’s side of the family who is not T2) I am determined that I will remain free of this condition for ever. It is a bonus of course that the food we can eat is truly delicious and satisfying! Will I live long enough to see LCHF become the standard of care throughout the UK? Who knows?
