Jack, you gave me a lot of references, but no,have not watched any videos apart from instructional ones on this site...usually find videos take some time....can you send them to me again perhaps, should have time this eveningdid you watch the videos I first gave you,?
I think it's something like 70-80% success rate for gut surgery,
a heck of a lot better than the average dieter with ~5% success rate with the diet industry. after 3-10 years they are normally back where they started.
anyone that stops their LCHF way of eating that is working for them and goes back to above their insulin resistance level of carbs, will put on weight. and why 'eat to your meter' is important.
the idea is to find your level, this link talks the general population

Thx @jack awesome.
Thank you so much Jack, you are a fund of knowledge!
Thank you roadrunner...there are some good scientific references there....I don't doubt that the low carbs work and that some can continue on them happily for life....or that we all would benefit from being on LCHF!Here is that special on LCHF diet from Australia ABC

the other one I got info from was
http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/fructose-polly-unsat-inflamation.65772/
it seems that the body normally converts 3% of glucose to fructose through the polyol pathway , but with insulin resistance this can increase to 30% fructose...that's without any fructose in the diet at all and we know the fructose is badly metabolised by the liver
Yes, here in NZ many foods are being labelled 'low in fructose', or 'no fructose'...and I've just eaten some grapes...tut tut tut...have strawberries in the fridge at the moment too! lol....I am quite hopeless at obeying rules....others are ofcourse extremely good at doing what they should@jack and @Fishtoo
I'm sure recalled this one about how bad fructose is in that a high portion of it is turned to fat in the liver and it doesn't produce an insulin response.
This video for University California TV is well with the hour plus especially if you like organic chemistry
Sugar: The Bitter Truth:
Oh my goodness before my diagnoses of T1.5. I loved fruit it was what I ate mostly. I drank POM like water - I might have been drinking pure high fructose sugar. I loved grapes especially frozen ones and ate them every day. Also I ate these 5lb 3 berry mix from Costco at least a bag a week.Yes, here in NZ many foods are being labelled 'low in fructose', or 'no fructose'...and I've just eaten some grapes...tut tut tut...have strawberries in the fridge at the moment too! lol....I am quite hopeless at obeying rules....others are ofcourse extremely good at doing what they should
I would have agreed with you a year ago. The many times over the last 25 years I was able to lose weight for a while I had to reduce my calories to less than 1800 a day to lose weight on a low fat high carb diet. Now, on a LCHF diet I am losing about a pound a week eating 2300 calories a day. I feel like an idiot for having been so skeptical about LCHF that I didn't try it. I only went on it to control my blood glucose. I wasn't even trying to lose weight, but I did, even though I was eating more calories.Now I find myself disagreeing. The best way to lose weight is to eat less than you use.
So glad you are a good patient now Runner...didn't know you had had a ?pulmonary embolus...was that from an injury? dehydration? I know someone who ran with us regularly for 2hrs every Saturday morning., along Peter Snells' hilily ttraining route ( I knew both lydiard and Peter.)...he got a backache, some silly doc told him to stop running so being a "good patient" he did stop...and 6 weeks later took his own life due to depression.Yes, here in NZ many foods are being labelled 'low in fructose', or 'no fructose'...and I've just eaten some grapes...tut tut tut...have strawberries in the fridge at the moment too! lol....I am quite hopeless at obeying rules....others are ofcourse extremely good at doing what they should
xactly! Albert Einstein once said “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" It is weight watchers that isn't working for you not the other way around Hilary!No, it tells you that it doesn't work!
Agreed! Another reason why I am here.....I gather that the best and only certain way to loose and maintain weight loss....for the majority, is by surgical banding or suchlike...and that the long term success rate on ALL diets and eating plans is low if analysed statistically...a life style change is apparently easier to maintain over the years than only changing what one puts in ones mouth...thousands of different books on diets say a lot too!

I used to belong to Slimmng World for years after my babies (now 20 and 25) and always did the RED days (mostly protein and very low carb) never green days (carbs and limited protein and fat) as I gained weight on GREEN as did many but not all in the group. later on Slimming world allowed much more fruit and I gained weight again and did not get ,slimmer of the week, sticker anymore. I gave up the fruit.
The carbs calling to you from the fridge etc is so familar, I too have eaten an entire 8oz tub of cooking cherries, out of date pop corn, entire box of gluten free mince pies, etc when carb craving. I try to keep house empty of temptation but sooner or later would give in and hate myself for being weak. After the first 3 days LCHF I can look a GF garlic and corriander Naan in the eye and not want it. I always knew I should be low carb but also tried to be low fat according to the (now rapidly being proved incorrect) health guidlines but I could never keep it up long term before landing here and being given 'permission' to have good hearth healthy fats. The difference to cravings, as far as I can see, is that the fat makes the difference. I use virgin olive oil, cocnut oil and some butter without guilt and now find the diet very easy. I'm on first 8 weeks of Diane Kress's Diabetes Miracle diet. (she is a registered dietitian T2)
There was also a post today on here (will go and find it) of more research from Ohio on high fat low carb diets compared to high carb.
My fasting BG down from 6.67mmol to 4.9 - 5.2 in just 4 weeks.
Run a whole bunch of trig, choleresteral, CRP etc on yourself and monitor, monitor monitor your BG levels accoring to the advise here.. You are in a unique position to be your own guinee pig and report your findings according to your training.
My father-in-law (retired NHS surgeon) have me very good advise when I was trying to convince GP something wrong with tiny, gastric daughter who wasn't growing. He told me to chart her weight/height/diet over time. Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic and Time-targeted (SMART ) goals. I was too close to the problem to think about applying my professional management training to a personal issue.
Once the pediatric Gastroenterologist could see that she was below the 3rd centile (50th at birth) they finally diagnosed by biopsy (she was sero negative) coeliac. Sorry for the long post but I can so see where you are coming from.
Long and short is what you are doing isn't achieving the results you require so do something else!
...and what sort of doctor am I? very old and very dim!
Exactly. Now I am type 2 but with perfectly normal HbA1c and my DSN says I am not diabetic. In her world you can't have a normal HbA1c if you have diabetes. She finds my good control problematic. I find her attitude so.I would like to ask, because this is a posting about long term low carbers.... From your doctor's view...
Why has nobody in 30+ years of being a type 1 without complications and always, as said by GP's and consultants "lean and mean" (size 10)... Why has no health official in any capacity asked me how I have kept like this?
Why does no one in the NHS ever take note of what good controlled diabetics, good weight, etc do to look after themselves?
Yes, I am a very long term lower carber... But get sick to death of NHS. Consultants and GP's and researchers never listening to the healthy ones as to our life styles because they are too **** busy imposing their unhealthy diets and views on the population...
Rant over, but why, just why can't the NHS LISTEN???
Same here in the States. My GP was going to stop my script for insulin and test strips because of my consistently low A1c.Exactly.

I had to do a home made glucose tolerance test ( 3 hours testing every 15 minutes ) to prove I was a diabetic.
