There is another GP on this board who ran a trial using 18 of his patients. He put them on a diet learned from here and other places. He published his findings and you may/may not be interested in his paper.

Thank you, Squire,, always interested in everything......especially any staistics and information of weight loss maintained for 5 years since the start of a diet.......not just evidence of individual cases....it is a real nuisance sometimes to have been scientifically trained, as I just love reading about one off cases!
I'll have a look now....
Later...have had a quick look...excellent article and will read in more detail...unfortunately patients only followed up for 8 months but there is a referral to another small study over 44 months which i will now investigate.
Undoubtedly the low carb diet works well and has been around for some time......think it was called the Atkins diet a long while ago, and I tried it then, but it just didn't fit in with my sort of lifestyle, and I began to get some cardiac arrythmia with exercise , so stopped!. ( But I am only me...an experiment of one!!)
later
Ah the diet used is not the Atkins diet which limited green veges....I usually only have one slice of gluten free bread a day ( Coeliac) and as a rule dont eat potatoes, pasta or rice,,,just protein and veg,even for beakfast when i have time, which is probably why, with strong family history, and BMI of 27 I have not had a higher A1c ( 40)
Thank you very much for all this info...just what I need!
