I did see a study that showed that allowing pasta and rice to cool, then reheat by boiling water removed the starch, and reduced the bgl spikes. My mum used to wash in a sieve with cold water, then immediately followed it with boiling water from the kettle. IMPORTANT NOTE: rice and pasta should not be reheated the next day so the cool and reheat cycles must be concurrent for safety.
Yup thats the one. Resistant Starch. Again, freezing it is important to prevent overnight bacteria growth NEVER reheat leftover rice or pasta unless from the fridge/ freezer.
I'm not sure I understand where your conspiracy theories come from.. LC seems to work really well for lots of people and you are suprised there isn't more dissent? Who would that dissent come from? Not the Type 2's who have benefitted.
Oops! Your blinkers are showing..... Of course there is dissent and questions raised by many about ketogenic diets and LCHF in particular, There are many who are unsure of the long term complications for this type of diet. I am not saying they are right or wrong, but there seems to be a blind passion for this diet that is becoming worrisome, I too have had success with this diet, and I want to support it as well, but I cannot blindly follow you ( or Eenfeldt, or Jason Fung et al) without question. Sorry, but that is the way I am. I need evidence not sales pitch or zeal. I am a scientist, and a Nerd, pure and simple. LC diets make perfect sense to me and the theory behind them which is backed up by validated evidence is sound IMO, so I am not complaining here about the content of the message, merely the zeal and blind focus that it is being delivered with. There are other routes to meeting the goals, and keto is but one pathway. As others have complained here about the forum is that it seems to be very narrow minded in its support of LC diets, and I fear this thread is exposing this yet again, Sorry BB, but I am not the only one to point this out to you in recent weeks.
As i tried to say my beef is not with keto or LCHF or any one person in particular but there are aspects of Diet Doctor website employing marketing techniques that stongly remind me of techniques I learnt when doing MLM and scam business ventures, which is - to swamp the search engines with fluff so that negative reviews get pushed out to a back page, I did not find a single 'bad' review of the website or the message it gives when I looked, and because the whole thing with keto diets is that they are comparatively new and untried by the mainstream and do NOT have support of the main body of nutritionists and HCP's. So yes, I did expect to see some of this showing through, and it was being successfully pushed aside, just as I felt you were trying to do to me,

I just googled 'LCHF diet in Sweden' and it shows a mixed story with some reports official channels have also rejected it and advise strongly against using LCHF. I think the jury is still out in your country depending on which news feed you listen to. There was also an article on spaghetti and diet, but my swedish is not up to making any headway into it. It may or may not be relevant to this discussion.Greetings @Oldvatr, as well as others in this discussion. Also being Swedish, as I am, sort of, and having received my Swedish self-employed tax form this morning, I cannot help but get involved. It does not surprise me that Swedish Dr Eenfeldt, aka the Diet Doctor, charges for his personalised online services! I remember when he did that, thinking about being self-employed in Sweden, "of course - he has to do that". Part of living in a country with decent wages and kids who aren't impoverished etc - are high taxes and all that goes with it. I don't know how one could live in Sweden and not charge for personalised services rendered. I don't find anything Zuckerbergish creepy or disingenuous about it, or the DD. Quite the contrary. Nor odd that the LCHF is an officially recognised healthy diet, as it is in Sweden. (Dr Annika Dahlqvist, also known as 'Dr Fat' did the hard yards to get Sweden there.) Yay Sweden!
One of my issues with DD relates to the very selective way in which the “ask the experts” section of the membership side of the site works. I have taken out two membership trials and have observed that questions asked about why things arent working as smoothly as claimed ( eg no weight loss, high blood sugars, a need to combine the appraoch with meds in order to achieve the results claimed) or which raise questions ( not necessarily challenges) to aspects of the theory are either simply ignored or diamissed under the catch all of “ we cant answer personal medical questions.
