[QUOTE="AtkinsMo, post: 1265843, member: 104933"] Nobody mentions all the risks of bariatric surgery, lifelong problems with absorption of nutrients, malabsorption, malnutrition. Bariatric surgery was the quick fix solution for obesity in the States (for those with the right insurance) - and now the Atkins / Low Carb forums are full of people that have had the surgery and still can't maintain weight loss and have a host of other problems too. A low carb diet, if you completely make the switch, is not hard to maintain in the long term, it rapidly becomes the new 'normal' diet for you, if you allow it to. But whilst people are getting such mixed or opposing messages from their health professionals, those who don't have the wherewithal, the time, the energy, the resourcefulness to research the alternatives are doomed to fail. They say that the LCHF diet is not proven long term, but what is proven is that the current guidelines have led to this outcome! I had to turn it off in the end- I just wanted to scream and shout at the TV! Panorama has lost the plot! Much better was the Fat v Carbs on BBC Wales, but that wheeled out the standard mantra - diet dangerous long term etc etc. [/QUOTE]
