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...🌈💚
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 .
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.
Well this can't be anything but good news Jerry, it should relax the strain on the NHS with people being treated in general with obesity related diseases, cancer being another one.
I do worry that their approach is relying so heavily on such heavily processed foodstuffs.
By the way, I will disclaimer, I don't know this guy on Twitter so I don't know about any of his other tweets/approaches, I'm just sharing for the images
They still refer to calories. Calories are irrelevant, it's carbs that drive insulin levels and metabolic disease.
I'm increasingly starting to believe that most health charities like Diabetes UK, The Heart Foundation and Cancer UK care mostly about their own existence. They take little notice of the leaders in nutritional science, like Aseem Malhotra, Robert Lustig. Georgia Ede, Daniel Amen, William Davis and a host of others.
Thanks I don't have diabetes but am prone to diabetes 2 and am trying to loose weight. The last 3 kgs are giving me problems to reach my BMI. Will look at the links
I saw recently that when weight loss stalls, it can often be due to dairy intolerance or grain oil intolerance. thankfully dairy intolerance will show if you abstain for 3-4 days (I noticed a distinct clarity of vision and awareness, but for you it may be that you'll notice the end of the weight loss stall), so if you could manage on oat milk or some other alternative for 4 days you'll see if that's the problem. If it's grain oil intolerance then sauteing with olive oil or frying with coconut oil is the answer (coconut oil comes in a jar and looks a little like lard).
I know what you mean about 'alternative milk'. Nothing works in tea or coffee like real milk. Fortunately at the time a2 milk was available in this country and I found that that didn't cause me problems. I've since found that I tolerate goats milk and the taste of the suff they sell in supermarkets these days is very similar to cows milk.
I think you are right about milk intolerance, I only had cereal with milk at 9 am and still am blurping milk. I think I will try kefir with the cereal. I only have tea with powdered milk in afternoon. Because tea with normal milk made me sick. Thanks a lot for bringing the lactose issue to my attention. It's nice to talk to someone about the issues I am facing.
I was off milk yesterday and felt better. I will keep to Kefir and powdered milk for a few days and also try water fasting for a few hours. Let's see what happens.
Hello Amynah if you have inflammation of the gut this can cause lactose intolerance as lactate is produced at the tips of our villi so if our villi is inflamed we lose the ability to absorb lactose.
Hello Eryl goats milk is not lactose free however goats milk molecules are the same size as human milk molecules and this much easier for us to absorb. Cows milk molecules are 200X larger than human milk molecules so this has to be broken down first hence many have issues with cows milk but not goats or sheep.
I don't find this at all good news. What is wrong with promoting real food instead of more processed food. Dr David Unwin got an NHS award for being an innovative GP. He has helped many patients reverse their diabetes. Tried to paste a link here for one of his youtube talks at a low carb conference. You can use this to search for it - Dr. David Unwin - 'Can we beat T2 Diabetes? HOPE on the horizon'
