This is a much watch for all of us and our families

I do not know why the editing was pronounced. The stance of the program advocates loads of veg, protein and good fats. There was a part of where they condemn being put on medication when diet can turn diabetes around for many. They probably look at different diets that work for different people. The founder of Thrive was talking about keeping away from the foods that we keep away from. Like I said I can only judge it after watching the program.I cannot say whether I think that it is rubbish or not..I just thought that it may be an interesting watch
 
Thank you for posting this and giving us the opportunity to make up our own minds about it.
 
@derry60 no reason for the sad face it was new to you and you wanted to share it and that is fine I had a look decided it wasn't for me and that was fine also. So please do keep posting what you find and what you think may be of interest cause that's great.

Is that the one that turns into a vegetarian/vegan rant... it's all about dietary fat and other rubbish? Or am I mistaking it for something else..

I didn't think anyone could actually watch anything but the trailer until Feb 28th, so I think it is a bit early to judge it. I have no idea whether or not it is about a vegan diet but a vegan diet is a perfectly valid choice for diabetics, along with the choices you and I prefer ie low carb high fat and Newcastle diet. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/diet/vegan-diet.html
Also vegans have much lower rates of diabetes and CVD than we omnivores too so I don't think we should be in too much of a hurrry to jeer at them.

Why watch it when better advice is here at your fingerstips?

Hi Mike, people can watch it and then make up their own minds and opinion's.
Expect the worse, but hope for the best.

The whole 9 episodes were shown on Facebook in November 2017 which is where I caught the first 2 and then the first part of the 3rd one. If you go to the ithrive facebook page there is quite a lot of debate and a flavour of what you can see.

Thank you BB
 
I don't want to be a vegan. I like meat too much (and eggs). I am quite satisfied that our existing laws protect animal welfare, and dislike seeing vegans interfering with farming. Having said
that, I don't understand why the suggestion of a vegan diet for health reasons has provoked such apparent anger among the low carbers. Vegans have about one third the risk of getting diabetes as omnivores and have less obesity and CVD. They must be doing something right. I find it very narrow minded of the low carbers to reject him out of hand. And what if he is trying to sell his book? Plenty of people do that. I shan't be reading it. I don't need a book to tell me which products are derived from animals. I am an adult -I can make my own choices. The poster kindly drew our attention to a diet which statistics show, reduces the incidence of diabetes. I don't think they should be criticised for that.
 
They show different diets for different people, Vegetarian, plant-based, and for meat eaters. For meat eaters such as I also, they are advocating the same as what we eat now..Eat good fats, Butter, full-fat Cheese, meat fat berries, full fat milk (Not skimmed) and full-fat plain yogurt. So really they are helping people who cannot face eating meat. Good all rounder I found.
