[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 1919352, member: 219467"] It's weird.. even iif NICE say they should getting GP's to actually do it is amazingly hard. I was having a phone consult with my GP which after me saying no to statins once again turned to Low Carb (as conversations between me and HCP's tend to these days!) he admitted to intermittently fasting himself but was adamant that patients would do low carb I explained to him that if their HCP's didn;t give them the option to the they wouldn't even know about it! Its just an uphill battle. Also was having another discussion on twitter with a dietician yesterday and she pointed out that the BDA and DUK had low carb advice but she had to struggle to find it whereas I put "Type 2" into the BDA website and got... yep the Eatwell Guide. The problem is that they have been so anti low carb for so long that they can't support it without anyone with a memory seeing how stupid they have been. [/QUOTE]
