Advice being trotted out by a registered UK dietician to a bunch of diabetics (mainly type 2) on a DuK Zoom meeting.
Be careful about carb portions but still eat a meal based upon 'healthy wholegrains', red meat gives you cancer and minimise unhealthy saturated fat in case it leads to heart disease.
Having de bunked some daft diets e.g. celery joice, detox and alkaline that hardly anyone follows anyway, she hadn't heard of the DuK's own 800 kcal diet (Newcastle) and then announced it was low carb rather than low cal, only to be done under supervision.
Low carb may work apparently but there is no solid evidence behind it (she refused to answer my question about evidence around the Eatwell plate working well for anyone let alone diabetics ) and then told me I could not do low carb as a type 1 because I might go hypo!
I honestly did not want to catch her out but feel she was not up to date on the evidence yet also saying that she and the other state registered dieticians were the only people qualified to advise. She has a web site and offers consultations obviously.
