Last friday I printed out all the information sheets kindly forwarded to me by Prof. Taylor regarding his diet and delivered them to my Doctor, requesting that he support me on doing the diet.
Today I received a call from him saying that he'd read it with great interest and if I could find a MRP mix similar to that used then he fully supports me trying the ND
Thank God for that ..... I didn't tell him I started it on Friday
He agreed I need to lose weight and is very interested to see how I go on with it.
An earlier call from the Diabetic Nurse only confirmed what I know from being on here - she doesn't recommend either a low calorie or low carb diet and only recommends the 'official' NHS line of a 'balanced diet with lots of carbs'
I did ask her why I'd want to load my system, on a daily basis, with carbs which will readily change into glucose (baked spuds, baby carrots, weetabix, etc....) she went oddly silent and, when pressed could only answer with "thats what the NHS recommends"
The support of my Doctor for the ND means a lot so I'll carry of as I have since Friday.
DN wants to redo my bloods in 2 months, so that'll be interesting
From those with experience ......
Once the ND finishes I'm leaning towards the LCHF diet plan by DietDoctor ..... does this make sense and would it be a sensible approach ??
