    Thanks for the links, John. There's a New store in town where I got my frozen berries, I buy blocks of cheese, meat and bacon from there too.

    You can get blue berries and strawberries fresh, but I get mixed frozen berries from a store downtown

    More nonsense from a couple of wannabes (using the Mattecube parlance) in Essex. Read more via this link:

    https://lowcarbfreshwell.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/Freshwell-Meal-Planner-Manual-v2.pdf

    Generated by a GP in Essex for 6 surgeries in the Essex region for their patients. You can get a copy for a tenner or if you are so tight you cannot afford a tenner towards a healthy lifestyle then you can download a copy for free.

    Just another diet I hear you say? A bit of a cult? No. This group of surgeries is having massive success getting it’s patients off drugs, saving th NHS time and money and restoring patients metabolic health. You only have to look at their website to see that is the case. Check out the bit on vegan solutions. Hope I got the spelling right there.

    You will probably see a bit in there about calories in calories out where patients are told to forget it, for the simple reason it doesn’t apply to anything other than steam engines.

    Mrs Ash and I spent the day in one of the posher suburbs of Liverpool ie Chester. We both had a mushroom and spinach omelette with a rocket salad and pretty good it was too. Mrs Ash’s waste size is now 25”. Smaller than she has been for a few years.

    Meantime a couple of tweets from a couple of “wannabe” GPs:

    A149EFAA-425A-4073-B1D2-4881E570BC79.jpeg

    Get that. She spent 40 years working for the NHS teaching the Eatwell Guide and calories in calories out. Until now her health has been poor. Now she knows different shedding a lot of weight and radically reducing her HbA1c to healthier levels. And importantly for her and the NHS, off of medication. The message is getting through but some find it hard to get their head around.

    I have in the past referred to you as a wannabe, not medical experts re read my posts, you really need to get a new target for your stupid, pathetic, childish, inane and pointless vendettas just take this view, you incorrectly at the start of your vendetta (not sure what I did to pis* you off so much but who cares!) picked me up on the use of moderation and yet a month or so later in the same context you use it pmsl, you said in another post you didnt think my views mattered to you and yet a few posts later you said you wanted to engage with me, which is it?
    As one lifelong member once said to me you could start an argument in an empty room.
    Did the fat lady sing for your poor wife and child last year? no I thought not, your to up yourself.
    Have you noticed the outpouring of support for your posts is absolutely minimal other than a few more keyboard warriors who think they can put the world to right on each and every subject, what purpose since your ban have you served to the overall community of those visitors to this forum other than to rant on about a low carb diet?
    This is a tame response and please do not pm me.

    Mrs Ash has just dipped under the 50 kg marker from her peak weight of 62 kg about 15 months ago. She is over the moon.

    Anyhow, here is a an Aussie that knows a bit about the eyes, eyesight and blindness. He also knows a bit about sugar. This guy is worth a listen. Interestingly the first time some people discover they have T2 diabetes is after a visit to their optician owing to eyesight deterioration.

    Instead of beetling off to see if you can find some skeletons in this guys closet or using Wikipedia to gauge his credibility to counter the post, why not listen to what he says? He might be right. I can tell you that actually he is bang on. Do yourself a favour and give yourself the time to listen to somebody who knows.

    “South Australian ophthalmologist and blindness prevention pioneer, Dr James Muecke started his medical career in Kenya and now 56 has this year been awarded Australian of the Year for his passionate approach to fighting blindness.

    His focus (pardon the pun) now is the leading cause of blindness in adults – type 2 diabetes – a spiralling epidemic that’s impacting nearly 10% of Australians. It’s the fastest growing cause of vision loss in Aboriginal people and the sixth-biggest killer in our country. James wants to challenge our perception of sugar and the impact it has in the development of type 2 diabetes – as we all are aware, diet is such a key part of our health.”

    Gary Taubes highlights this change in direction from the ADA. who up till recently did not advocate a low carb solution. Notice the distinction creeping in between low and very low. It is happening here in the U.K. but we are one step behind.

    “Signs that the paradigm may now have shifted.

    The ADA offers guidance on low carb and very low carb diets... for the 1 in 7 adults who have type 2 diabetes”

    This “cult” seems to be growing.

    JohnAsh would say that there is absolutely no problem with that recipe, 2 grams of carbs is absolutely fine, hell I am going to have a lot more than my limits today as it is Easter and I am going to have some ordinary chocolate instead of 90% Cocoa chocolate which I normally have.

    Swerve sugar, sounds perfect :) (it does actually sound ok)

    The fat in this drink is a little low but you can consume fat in other ways throughout the day it's not a problem, I don't think I would enjoy a fat laden drink.

    His point is that the first number does not matter, 55 calories does not matter for this drink, which looks very nice I might say, the drink itself has approximately the carb fat balance that he is talking about of those 55 calories, 4g was fat so 36 calories the rest was the carbs and other junk.

    He would not have a problem with this at all, it's pretty keto to start with.

    My only point regards calories is that total calorific intake DOES matter compared to total calorific output, no one can escape the laws of thermodynamics, his point is that if you eat a high fat diet you don't feel hungry, the result of that is that you consume less calories but he's just not saying the second part, and he is right a high fat diet reduces hunger, you eat less.

    The next part of what he is saying is trying to demolish the idea that fat is bad, causes heart attacks and all the other stuff we have been programmed to believe for the last 50 years or so and he is right, Ancel Keys made a lot of recommendations to reduce fats in the diet and that became orthodox belief in the 1950s and later but it was based on flawed interpretation.

    This stuff is hard, if you eat a lot of sugar and fat, you are pretty much screwed by the time you are an old bugger like we are, if your diet is mostly convertible sugars with very little fat, you are going to feel very hungry all the time and probably eat too much and likely exceed my calories in calories out balance, John does not like that suggestion because he is trying to simplify the discussion as are all the advocates of this approach to diet, but what he is saying does actually work.

    Ok so we are trying to say FAT is good when everyone has sold us on FAT is bad for the last 70 years, so why does it work and why is it not dangerous, ok first point and this is me, not doctors or real scientists, if you eat a lot of fat and turn it into ketones in your blood and those ketones get burned for energy, then the fat is gone, cheerio, auf wiedersehen goodbye :D it can't build up in your bloodstream because you burned it to provide for your calorific needs to stay alive.

    The real danger in our lives appears to come from sugars and we know this we know sugar is bad for diabetics and more and more of us are becoming diabetic, if you have a high sugar or carbohydrate diet then you get the following.

    Your body is constantly turning SUGAR into FAT and storing it in your fat cells because your blood can never go above a certain small limit on sugar, glucose, i.e. the thing diabetics monitor all the time otherwise they die.

    That blood glucose limit is extremely important so when you are eating a high carb diet or even medium carb diet, unless you are extremely active like Druk you will be going into FAT STORE mode all the time and that mode sadly makes you hungry so you make it worse by eating more.

    Sugar in all it's forms is the real enemy, when you are using insulin to fat store, that's when FAT is bad because that's when your body has no clue what to do with the damn stuff and it sticks in in places like your arteries, but if you don't eat a lot of carbohydrates then you burn the fat and it CANNOT end up in your arteries.

    Finally calories in calories out still matters but you can't easily do successful calorie controlled diets when you are in your sixties and you can't, I emphasise EASILY, do a calorie controlled diet to get rid of a huge amount of weight at that age, but a high fat diet is extraordinarily easy and you never really feel hungry, if you do feel hungry then you are not doing it right or you are drinking too much beer or alcohol, beer is high carbohydrate sadly and not compatible with this way of life.

    A personal foible, "loss", I hate that term that is why I always say got rid of, if you got rid of something then mentally that is something you wanted to go away, the word loss implies some sad yearning for what once was :D and when it comes to weight you sure as hell do not want :D

    If you consume less of something, ie reduce your carb intake from what it was to what you want it to be you have moderated your intake of carbs and hey I didn't need you to explain it to me:lol::lol:

    Oh for gods sake, I am the one saying that the second law of thermodynamics applies, I have always said that.

    This way of eating is not focused on reducing anything, it is a choice of foods, reduction in your terms comes about naturally with no conscious thought, that is the only point.

    Your 'petty' point about the meaning of the word moderation or moderate does not add to the discussion, yeah he got into an argument with you about that over the idea that there was no moderate amount of sugar, don't you both realise that you are screaming at each other over the definition of the word 'moderate' ?.
