Low-Carbohydrate Diets and All-Cause Mortality:

[Yorksman]

I am sure that puffins are a great source of fat and protein !

The Faroese think so!

I guess they taste like chicken fed on fish meal.

I don't think that we need them to function, I just like a slice of bergen or two with marmite ! ( sometimes )
and of course the red wine. My original reply was just to say that my consumption of carbs was <30 g a day and my brain function was fine - that's it ! I am not suggesting for 1 minute that we should all be on zero carbs ! even the scratchings are 1% carb !
The first bottle is kicking in, this is getting old and I've got to go and cook for 4 hungry, carb eating bu**ers !

Thanks for the chat buddy, later

Superchip

I like carbs too, having a beef and pork casserole tonight with, cabbage, green beans and some mashed potato ( this was yesterday dinner, but couldn't cook it until late yesterday evening) but really forward to it, my DD had seconds, I could, have it without the mash........... but I'm not, I need to function and carbs do help me

[quote="ilnar"

see this i doubt is 40g of carbs a day,
i mean, just looking at breakfast,
assuming 100g of almonds and 250g almond milk your'e looking at 26g of carbs right there (i doubt hes eating 100g in a serving, but still)
but without further information, specifically portion size, you cant tell,

Hi ilnar, not sure where you got the nutrition info from was it a US site? Ground almonds are only 6.5g carbs per 100g, if the unsweetened almond milk Sam uses is the Blue Diamond brand which is the one I have, that’s only 0.4g carbs per 100ml

Spot on Tony!

I don't think they are allowed to discriminate between sexes. It's never specified.

I've never located donkey meat in the UK. It seems to be just an italian thing. Horse meat is popular though and unadulterated by the addition of beef:

They sell locally made donkey sausage in the market here. (SW France)
Here a recipe
saucisson d’âne
500g lean beef,
500 g lean donkey/horse
500 g of lard (just pork fat I think rather than they type sold in the UK)
33 g of salt,
4 g of pepper, a dash of Cognac, Armagnac.
Either grind , or with a sharp knife chop finely.
Spread out on the table, salt and pepper, mix well and wait an hour.
Add chopped garlic to taste.
Make balls.
Rinse the intestines to remove salt (they come preserved in it) then put them on a large funnel and fill; push with a piece of wood or other cylindrical object. ( google translate said 'put your guts on a large funnel :lol: )
Make sausages of twenty to thirty centimeters.
Ensure that there is no air inside the sausages.
Dry for a month in a clean well ventilated place . (I think this bit varies from area to area, in some areas they hang them in the fireplace)
Keep the sausage in large jars, ( igniting a piece of cotton and close immediately: en enflammant un morceau de coton et fermez immédiatement.) not sure of that bit

( This type of sausage is nowadays mostly eaten thinly sliced with aperos but at village fetes/houses, it's often part of the starter, the old men round here get out their pocket knives and slice off bits at the table)
Good for trainee cavemen, high fat 'raw' meat! And no I don't like to eat it because I find it chewy and fatty but everyone else in the family does; though maybe not the donkey variety)

Interestingly since the horsemeat 'scandal' there seems to be far more cheval on sale in the supermarket. They used to have a section when I first came here but it disappeared. It's now back again and since all other meat has shot up in price seems quite a bargain.

I've been to markets in France, mostly in Brittany but also in Arles and I don't think they can be beaten for the variety of fresh produce on offer. It's a lot easier to eat a healthy diet there.

I have always had trouble with french dried sausages, not knowing whether to chop little pieces off and add them to soups and stews as an ingredient or cut thin slices to chew rather like jerky, They don't work like german slicing sausage, for use on breads. The french have always thought the english strange for not eating snails, frog legs and horses and because of our tendency to build tall columns and put a statue of Nelson on rather than Napoleon. The english of course are outraged at other people's eating habits:

I've had the donkey stew in Italy and it is very good. Some italian salamis use it as an ingredient too, http://www.anticacascinasrl.it/en/produ ... salami.php

Had squirrel pie a while back. Nice and lean, and you can wipe your mouth with the fluffy tail! Kangeroo and ostrich are good and lean ... provided you can catch the buggers! Ostrich drumsticks are also very useful for scaring off burglars.

There are donkey butchers in France... nice one in Bergerac. Now, I'm off to Morecambe Bay with a shotgun!!!

I petted a young donkey with its mummy, aaahhhhhh, so cute, at a live Church Nativity play December 2012, they were both so lovely, I just kept petting them and it was cold and Christmassy and if I could, I would of donkey napped them, but alas, coat not big enough to smuggle them out. Some days I don't eat any meat, just fancy some Veggie meals.

Rudolph, Squirrel :cry: NO NO NO and NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! CAVEMEN, that's what you are, cavemen :lolno:

Well ive read the thread. My immediate concerns are to try and shift the pancreas into action, using Newcastle Diet, improve my health by losing the fat, THEN I will think about the other issues. As I stand at this time, I need the low cal action plan to get me going in the right direction!

Hope all goes well. I wonder if any of the original study 'guinea pigs' are on this site, as it would be interesting to see how they have fared since. If you plan to come off the diet at some point in the future, my opinion is that is when you can start or continue learning which individual foods, quantities etc. affect you one way or other.

Asumming you will be workng closely with your GP/DN as recommended on the Newcastle Uni site, there is a recent guidance for doctors which you may be interested to read. http://www.ncl.ac.uk/magres/research/diabetes/Informationfordoctors_revised.pdf
