[QUOTE="Hobnoblin, post: 200808, member: 34872"] I don't want to come across as sanctimonious but I actually do find it easy. I do get mad carb cravings some times, sometimes I give in (usually involves 3 ryvittas, cheese, tomato and butter). My point wasn't that it was easy though,just the notion that suddenly the experts think diet might be pivotal in the reversal of diabetes LOL Who'd have thought eh? I don't think it's a cure, neither is low carb or low GI for that matter, but you can live diabetic free if you choose your diet correctly. Quite frankly that's a ludicrous thing for your DSN to say. Programmes like Lipotrim have been authorised and run by the NHS for years - that's around 600 cals a day. It doesn't need anywhere near the supervision that you DSN seems to think. Pre-diabetes many moons ago, must be 9 or 10 years ago, I followed Lipotrim myself. I lost six stone in just a few months, but when I went back to 'normal' eating , ie eating ****, it all went back on. Lot's of people do it via their doctor or the pharmacy, it doesn't make you frail or weak, at least not after the initial couple of weeks whilst you are getting used to it. I was doing a very energetic job at the time and it was fine. Do I think it's a cure? No. Do I think it's a good idea? Probably not, although if you have a lot of weight to shift and your doctor is ok with it it could be a good way of reducing your insulin resistance. I'm lucky that I found a way that allowed me to keep the weight off in a sustainable way. Glad I don't need to do that again. Definitely agree that it is not the sort of thing you should do without some supervision though, and certainly not a DIY option. [/QUOTE]
