[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2292483, member: 527609"] I suspect the position with the NHS is that they're ignoring something that obviously works in favour of going down the path of least likely litigation. They seem to be concerned that going very low carb can lead to health problems of its own. They're also still fixated on fat being the enemy, and the increased fat intake of a typical low-carb diet troubles them. What they don't want is to find out in 20 years time that low carb high fat was a harmful option for some people, and that those people are suing for compensation, because insufficient research was done before advocating the diet. I imagine many NHS employees would be happy to give out low carb higher fat dietary advice if allowed to. The nurse at my GP's practice seemed very happy that I'd chosen this route, in spite of having given me the same old 'balanced diet, switch your white bread to wholemeal' advice that she's no doubt professionally required to churn out.
