[QUOTE="Cathi18768, post: 1998567, member: 433951"] I feel quite sad that I didn't discover LCHF until I was 62, having battled with my weight, depression, a variety of chronic side effects, then finally type 2 diabetes, all my life. I feel convinced I have been carb sensitive from a very early age, and am eternally grateful to all our champions, (Volek and Phinney, Mary Kemp, Malhotra et al) for the wake up call. At least I am going into old age a lot healthier, lighter and happier. Still on some medication, but nearly there now - just need one last push. I think we are our own best advertisement by getting and staying healthier, but as someone said, once people are on carbs, it is as hard an addiction to break as cigarettes, drugs or booze -perhaps harder as carbs are everywhere and we need to eat to live! I hate the way there is so little choice in cafes etc (although to be fair I have found that they will often substitute salad for chips if asked!) I know what you mean about vans/ caterers with sarnies, cakes etc and often the "healthy" option is a bunch of carb laden bananas! Keep on soapboxing - people need to be aware! [/QUOTE]
