Prof Taylor's reply on fat in Newcastle diet

In my experience of trying to be healthier, cutting sugar alone didn't do an awful lot.
It wasn't until I did without the carbs did I start to see the benefits.
Carbs are turned into glucose and glucagon in your bloodstream and they I believe do the real damage to your endocrine system.
It is in fact the sugars, the carbs and the polyunsaturated fats including trans fats that is causing the diabetic epidemic.

To my knowledge the loss, rather than speed of said loss, being critical has always been his belief. I must admit I took heart from that statement when I "discovered" the ND a short while after diagnosis.

@jack412 - I wrote to Prof Taylor a while ago, and similarly received a prompt and very personal response. I was and remain impressed by the man.

I have had gallstones for the last 20years,found through testing for somthing else,I have never had any problems until last week when I developed acute pancreaitis and was in hospital for four days,the pain was agony.
I have been on LCHF since last June and lost a stone in weight,although I dont need to lose weight.
I havent gone mad with fats but enjoyed butter,cream,cheese,
The consultant advised me that weight loss and added fat had caused a gallstone to move,
Blood tests show the pancreas has settled,and its thought the stone has passed.
I have been advised to cut the fat to a minimum,and have my gall bladder removed.

You have my utmost sympathy, @Patricia21 that is a very painful thing to have happen. My gallstones were quite dormant for years but when they started acting up it was agony. I would never again want to distress my pancreas. Something important for people with diabetes.

Hope you get well soon.
