[QUOTE="kipkatzzz_, post: 1674129, member: 465212"] Hi, I decided to join up as we have some serious diabetes in my family and mostly combined with long standing obesity. I am increasingly angry at the latest raft of mostly unhelpful & disingenuous diet tv programs & books, especially Tom Kerridge! One has to ask how he let himself get so huge in the first place! I really understand that for some people, my mother & sister included, foodcan easily become the highlight of every day if loneliness, depression & isolation are factors. It has clearly been shown that calorie restriction long term is unsustainable for most people & yetthis is still widely promoted. My best friend’s husband is T2 & I shared house with a T1 diabetic when I was a nurse. Then, the advice was always loose the carbs, all or any carbs as whether so called good or bad, they are all metabolised as glucose. Yet now it seems that many are advised to eat carbs “ in moderation “ . A nonsense term anyway as totally arbitrary! My husband can & does, when he chooses, loose weight on the 5-2 diet, & I really think that this approach is the most sensible we have for most people as it does at least allow some latitude for social, hormonal or other lapses!
