Hi everyone,
This was in the news before as the NHS diabetes prevention program and its being relaunched so here's an article:
england.nhs.uk/2020/09/thou...
It sounds very promising if we can help people lose weight and prevent or reverse type 2 diabetes and all its complications then we must and the best bit is the diet is free on the NHS as from today.
I think it's nice to have some good news as we want to help others lose weight and be healthy and healthy eating is the key to good health...๐๐
Great news Jerry! Thanks for posting the same and bringing a ray of hope for people with Type-2 diabetes.
In my view this may work only for the people who are overweight
(BMI 25-30) or Obese ( BMI 30 plus).
It may also work for people with a healthy weight range with (BMI 21-25) .
However , it may not work for skinny / thin /underweight people ( BMI less than 21) ..since these kind of people will tend to lose further weight with a low calori diet and it could be dangerous...
If you have any data / study/ Trial conducted by NHS on people with different BMI range, Request please share .
Quite right namaha . In focussing on the very-low calorie, weight loss intentions of the diet they've side-stepped the fact it is a low-carbohydrate diet, and far less healthy than the one from Dr Unwin that promotes real food.
So, here we have the NHS putting into service a low-carb diet by a different name, for which they have evidence in 2017, whereas NICE removed their endorsement of Dr. Unwin's sugar equivalent infographics because supposedly there was no evidence of the effectiveness of low-carb.
If they don't want to be accused of corruption and double standards they may wish to address this.
However, they may just wish to ignore voices to the contrary and keep promoting the messages they want to get across with smoke and mirrors?
Everyone should be following the diet. Obesity, diabetes, heart disease and other metabolic problems are just symptoms of a bad diet. You can have juite a normal bmi, but carry a lot of visceral fat (fat around the organs), and doctors are increasingly recognising it as a major driver of cancers.
