F**k 'em.
I'm, sorry, but a large proportion of the LCHF recipes I have read, and the forum threads as well, recommend saturated fats such as full fat milk and cheese, butter, cream (in preference to milk I may add) and loads of eggs, bacon, sausages. Above all Lard is recommended for frying. So am I misreading this? Even the DCUK Christmas recipes are biased toward saturateds.@Oldvatr I'm not sure that the people are jumping on eating saturated fats specifically in relation to LCHF. It's possible to eat that way without eating a vast amount of saturated fat.
It's surprising how little that diabetes nurses seem to know about nutrition for type 2 diabetes. Unfortunately the current standard of care is that we should eat the same high carb low fat diet that is the current government recommendation for everyone. You'd think they'd see successful results in a patient and consider it a good thing. I was lucky that my diabetes nurse did not chastise me much when I told her I only eat meat. She did want a few more lab tests, though.Okay so in the thread here I posted about how I managed to get my HBa1c down from 10.6 to 6.9 in three months. i've just got back from seeing the diabetes nurse who basically spent the last 5 minutes of the appointment all but making me stand and face the corner If I wanted to be treated like a littler kid I could back in time not go and see a nurse who yes thinks its great that my figures have come down and thinks its great that I've lost two stone in three months until she finds out how I've lost it and all of a sudden its not healthy I should see a doctor I should be taking my metformin and blah blah blah blah. if it was healthy for me to lose the weight, no matter how I lose it then its still healthy and no, I've not been that extreme I've just been following a LCHF diet fair enough I've only been eating once a day but I've always only eaten once a day so wheres the harm in that.
But no all of a sudden I'm staving, myself I need to increase my carbs as foods containing carbs also contain other necessary vitamins etc etc.
I'm beyond fuming right now I want from a high for the 1st time in months (I suffer severe depression) to wanting to seriously do someone some serious harm with a wood chipper and a can of WD40.
I've also just recieved a letter about my P.I.P I've got to see a health consultant this day just keeps getting better and better..... <thats a lame attempt at sarcam
