I was thinking more "The Truth About Fasts" that would really set the cat amongst the pigeons...I agree, it was a good all round basic introduction to better nutrition. I did not shout once. Now we need a programme entitled 'The Truth about Fats' with emphasis on bad fats.
Although I think in fact they specifically said wholegrain and not wholemeal... I hope quite deliberately but they didn't really emphasise the difference enough. or did I mishear?I also don't like the wholemeal breads they talked about, as most bread that is sold as wholemeal is mostly wight floor.

How I agree! As a long time chrionic migraine sufferer with a number of food triggers I pretty soon learned in a very agonizing way that I should avoid eating those particular foods. This "aversion therapy" has stood me in good stead since I've been diagnosed as T2 and has made eating low carbs a complete no brainer even if I won't get the same immediate and painful feedback from eating too many carbs...You know this bit about:
People often try to banish all carbs from their diets. As I know from personal experience, this can just make people miserable — and is therefore almost impossible to sustain
I do think that if people knew what a vital thing this was, they would change their mindset about it. For example, my friend is lactose and cheese intolerant. She loves cheese. But recognizes that she cant have it without bad stuff happening. There are a illion other foods she can have. Taking her intolerance seriously improves her life, making the mindset to make that choice easy
Well we always knew this before some yolkers in recent years declared otherwise, eggxactly the same as has been done with fats...He also said we now know eggs are not unhealthy! !
But we did know about and use it well over a century ago, a ketogenic diet was tried on diabetics by Rollo in the 1790s, Banting used a low carb diet for weight loss in the 19th century, and it was used for T1 diabetics pre insulin, and as further "proof" there's a copy of a low carb cookery book from the early 1900s available on the web. So why all this has been completely ignored has always been beyong my comprehension!The program was really good with very few questionable bits. The one thing that annoyed me was the quote that this doctor guy had just 'discovered/invented this low-carb stuff' as if all the feedback we have been providing for years never happened; pure professional doctor arrogance. 'We' invented it over the last few years and if they had listened and used a decent scientific approach the medical profession would have discovered low-carb years ago. You begin to wonder what else the doctors are getting badly wrong....

I enjoyed this overall but disagreed with the bit at the end about wholegrain bread - 99% of bread consumed by me for years was wholemeal/wholegrain and I still think it contributed to a large part of the carbs I consumed.
I found it fascinating on further research after the programme about Xand's own weight troubles when he said he used to be 19 stone - turns out he was prediabetic then and then lost weight eating one meal a day and is a fan of fasting! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/a...s-just-selection-recipes-Definitive-Diet.html
I actually wonder how much he believes it and how much he uses it, as I suspect Michael Mosley may do, as a way of getting people to buy into the diet more as it's such a well-known method. Or because it's an easy way to put a limit on how much people are consuming each day.He also believes in CICO. If I read that link correctly
If he really does believe it he has completely missed the point of why fasting worked for him. Hey ho.He believes it. He mentions it more than once!

I did low carb, low fat and Halloween jellies knocked me out of ketosis. I was burning body fat and no food fat first.Yeh he hasn’t joined the dots.
He is selling a book of course. But I wonder how many people will do OMAD but not being fat adapted will have a horrendous time with hunger pangs.
OK whats a halloween jelly?I did low carb, low fat and Halloween jellies knocked me out of ketosis. I was burning body fat and no food fat first.
I wasn't hungry as protein stops hunger too.
