[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1193102, member: 196898"] I am sorry. You think that advice is wrong. I happen to agree with you on that. However, we must bear in mind that the majority of people in the UK are unaware of any Carb restricted diet. Most dietary advice in magazines, leaflets, and books abd TV in the UK are calorie restriction diets. It is only because I am Diabetic that I came across this Forum, and discovered the joy that a carb restricted diet can bring. Atkins was one of the first mainstream diet plans to focus on carbs, but it was aimed at non diabetics just to lose weight. Since then others have evolved that are now targetting diabetics (and cancer patients too) and we have anecdotal evidence that it benefits us. But for the NHS to adopt and promote an LC diet requires proper scientific study which is only just beginning to happen. As this thread title says, there are many who believe that cutting carbs is actually harmful, and so far we do not have the 'proof' required to fully convince them otherwise. As a user of an LC diet, I can say that I am at the moment 'going at risk' since I do not yet have the full picture. But for me, not following this diet also puts me at risk, so I am prepared to run with it. [/QUOTE]
