[QUOTE="Dr Snoddy, post: 2462300, member: 112460"] Hi, the idea that we need carbohydrates for energy is a fallacy. We have to have protein and fats in our diet and both of these can be digested and used as energy sources. I cannot understand why you would have been told that your anaemia would have been due to a lack of carbohydrate. There are various types of anaemia and the treatments vary but your variety could be due to low B12 levels. A common side effect of Metformin is low B12. I had this as a side effect and had to supplement with B12 spray to get my levels back to normal. It takes a leap of faith to go against medical advice and should you decide to do so you will find recipes, support and knowledge here. Fish and above ground vegetables would be a good start. Low carbohydrate bread is an option if toast with non carb toppings appeals for breakfast. [/QUOTE]
