Hi Clair,

There's no-one looking, so, where do you stand on the possibility of your diabetes being the result of your (old) lifestyle?

You can tell me, I won't let on. :shh: :silent:

lol I refuse to whisper it. I've been shouting it from the rooftops lol. I firmly believe that my old 'low fat' lifestyle was the cause of my diabetes and all my jumpy weight problems. You know that thing were you lose 4 stone, then a year later it comes back for no apparent reason. My weight has been like a yo yo all my life, and when it went up, I'd hit the low fat diet and eat lots of Special K or baked potatoes, while craving the cheese I loved, but wasn't allowed.

I totally blame my diet for the weight and the diabetes, and I think I totally blame the food industry/marketing around it for poisoning me for so long. Low carb is good. Mr Kellogg is evil. *nods*.

Hi Claire and well done on your reversal and your weight loss.

And thanks for writing such an interesting post.

I have Googled 'Bergstein diet' and didn't come up with anything.

Could you please provide me with a link of some sort...??

Thanks.

Sorry, it's Bernstein. Dr Richard Bernstein. I keep writing the wrong name like a total dunce. I'm glad it was helpful and hopefully this is a bit more helpful lol.

It's also called the Keto diet, and Bernstein was funded by Atkins, so it's all related.

I keep writing Bergstein instead. It's totally embarassing lol. Thanks

And thanks again . It's nicer now the dark circles under my eyes have gone. Did anyone else get that with diabetes, or was I just special?
