may i ask, what if there are two jonathan maitlands?
Then someone named Jonathan Maitlands of Hartlepool will be wondering just what the hell he said when out on the lash last night

It is nothing to do with carbs or fats it is to do with reduced calories so your body has to use it glycogen and fat stores from the liver and pancreas
Me too, i joined twitter group just to tweet him... The more people that do it the better as far as I am concerned!I have now tweeted Mr Maitland and asked him to have a look at the thread on this forum, but only time will tellMaybe others could do the same, the more the better
All the rabbit food (salads) I'm eating doesn't help... and my wife keeps threatening me with cauliflower and brussels..
I didnt watch as busy reading.but I was never hugely over weight and did it mention family history. My nana my mam and my older sister all had or haave diabeties.
Yes, it would have taken just a minute (at that programme's level) to explain the difference in broad terms - could have done that instead of the pointless studio intro and outro to the programme. The Newcastle diet bit was OK but most people would see that as too drastic. A pity someone didn't shout from off-camera at the end "don't eat the rice!"
But if it raises some awareness and results in some people getting themselves checked that should be a positive - but then most will still accept the healthy plate route and increasing drugs, apart from the small minority who find their way to here. Nothing much else will change until NICE see the reality about carbs.
Well if we're talking about the daily fail, I'm surprised there wasn't a racist element. Can't believe they didn't mention THE IMMIGRANTS!Do you remember the fall out from a well known Diabetic Charity's poster campaign some years back, all about waist measurement and sad looking overweight poster people.
Ignoring the facts that :
Not all diabetics, either type 1 or two are overweight.
Even if they are overweight, it doesn't follow that diabetes was caused by that .
There is not just one form of diabetes.
You'd think that such a charity would know better.
I worry a tad after the media have done something like this or the Daily Wail article. There was a wonderful comment on the Daily Wail website from a mum of a diabetic child, sarcastically thanking them for ensuring that her child would continue to be stigmatised and picked on at school following their misinformation that ALL diabetics are overweight , lazy and brought it on themselves.
If, just if, there was a reasonable programme or article that raised public awareness in a good informative way, it would be such a refreshing change.
But that wouldn't be "entertainment", would it ?

That's solely due to all the metfartin that we're required to take, so the blame must surely lie with the drug companies and NHS in this instance.and global warming.
I don't think anyone said the newcastle diet is for life but what it does is force your body to utilise the visceral fat. You then of course have to not go back to old ways and find a diet that is sustainable and suitable. It does not help you to decide what that is except that you have trained your brain and body to be able to handle a lower amount of cals/carbs/... so any increase will make it think it is having a feast and help with sustainability. If you wish to then low carb/medium carb/low gi some mixture of them all is then a personal choice as it is before the start of a newcastle diet. None of this changes the fact that the very low calorie diets are about shifting the visceral fats and this seems to work for some of us.
