[QUOTE="Scandichic, post: 587568, member: 94210"] I'm probably going to get shot down in flames but I agree with you Pipp! HCP s seem hellbent on advising patients that the eat well plate is the only way forward and even when we sit there in their "education" classes as living proof that low carb works, we are written off as nutters who are the exception to the rule. I also lost weight following a low fat diet , heavy on carbs pre diabetes days but put every pound back on. I have lost much more on LCHF. I think it's possible to lose weight using both diets but you have to chose one or the other and stick to it for life or you end up fat again. I don't think it's possible to eat carbs and fat together for lots of people. My hubbie tried for years to lose the paunch he gained in his early 30s by eating low fat and doing loads of exercise but LCHF shifted the additional 2 stone in 4 months and his stomach is as flat as a pancake. I still do not understand why we are encouraged to eat food which raises out bs when we are on tablets to bring it down. I feel very sorry for those who follow their doc/DNS advice and end up fatter and in many cases on insulin because "diabetes is a progressive disease!" Furthermore, LCHF does not raise my bs and it enables me to have more freedom in what I eat. Everyone who has dinner with us, loves our food! Of course I still miss crusty bread from time to time or cake and occasionally I have a small piece of cake or the odd creme caramel but the bread is out because it has a far worse effect on my bs and I don't want to become ill and fatter again!
