I dare you, pronounce the soft 'd' in 'mad'
I dare you, pronounce the soft 'd' in 'mad'I think Mad Pyramid is spot on
I’m Welsh. Is it like our soft “dd” sound?I dare you, pronounce the soft 'd' in 'mad'
My knowledge of Welsh pronunciation is limited to v (u) and Ll (kl), right? Anyway, it's like the 'th' in them, their, there etc.Is it like our soft “dd” sound?
I may be in a minority but I found the programme fascinating.
I regularly did 8 to 10 mile hikes ! Made no difference at all so clearly we are all individual!Yes, I can be pretty idle at times, combine that with eating all the wrong things and hey-presto T2 is an unwelcome visitor!
Aha! Same as our dd then. So I’ve got that nailedMy knowledge of Welsh pronunciation is limited to v (u) and Ll (kl), right? Anyway, it's like the 'th' in them, their, there etc.
Me too, I was only diagnosed this week, was just too much. Has sent me it to a bit of a meltdown to be honestI turned over when they showed the dead body. Was that really necessary?
Geez, opposite of German then as far as the v is concerned and you have to go overdo it on the fs. That explains why there are so _ew le_t in England and Scotland, while they're drowning in vs.Aha! Same as our dd then. So I’ve got that nailed
Hate to be pedantic, but we don’t have a letter v - an f in Welsh in pronounces like and English v; a Welsh ff sounds like the English f.
The Ll sound is made with the tongue curled against the roof of the mouth, and you sort of blow through it. Not everyone can do that, so a kl sound is a fair approximation.

Don’t go to Llanelli...Geez, opposite of German then as far as the v is concerned and you have to go overdo it on the fs. That explains why there are so _ew le_t in England and Scotland, while they're drowning in vs.
There you go ... That's why I avoid llandudno (Klandidno?)
Did it, but so swiftly you probably missed it. Now you. Rødgrød med fløde.
I'll remember that. I love listening to accents, and while travelling through Wales it hit me that in the north they sound like Norwegians speaking English. Same sing song tone. LovelyDon’t go to Llanelli...
Although the NHS is starting to recognise that low starchy carbs are better for diabetics they are still encouraging low fat so I take it those shakes were very low in fatShame really that method would put off many people with diabetes doing it too as they gave clear message it needed medical supervision and support. Clearly you need punishing with vile shakes if you’ve got yourself into such a mess! What we all achieve at home with a LCHF way of eating would have been much more encouraging, doable and inspiring and sustainable. Wonder if carbs will ever get mentioned?
Can you actually buy the shakes that they are using I was under the impression they were especially made for the experiment . I would think you would need medical supervision to use them.Could members help, please, I seem to remember that the cost of these shakes is or would have been £50 per week. I may be misremembering, though. But if I am right then someone is going to be kachinging it all the way to the bank whilst buyers would end up either curled up in bed or raiding the hamsters food bowl.

Well reading that it sounds like Tracey was well happy about doing it and says she has her life back so who are we to knock it it worked for her and thats all that mattered. We on this forum are very biased towards LCHF but that does not work for everyone there are other ways that people manage to control their diabetesLooks like I was right and it was Exante products they used

I bought a sample pack in the past but ultimately havnt used them, the shakes flavours I tried were mostly fine taste wise while the bars were not. I never tried the ‘meals’ as they just looked too revolting.
The shakes I tried were variable in terms of BS impact - some produced a change around 1 mmol, others were 3 mmol. Never worked out if the difference related more to the different time of day testing or the different carb content although the ones I looked at were v similar in terms of carb count. I wasnt tempted to follow the diet so didnt find out.
I would say their shakes are prob worth a look for anyone wanting to try vlcd but use proper food to make 200 cal meals rather than use the meals / bars on offer
me too : )I can.
