The diet of death !

A repost from a couple of years ago.

For fifteen to twenty years, before type two diabetes diagnosis, I ate cereals, toast and orange juice for breakfast, keeping well away from saturated fat. At diagnosis, I was at least 50lbs over weight with a waist of 40”. My usual breakfast consisted of at least 150 carbs. Since seeing the lowcarb way of weight control, and more importantly BG control, I eat, most days of the week, the breakfast below. This has resulted in HbA1c numbers in the fives, (almost 12 at diagnosis) reduced total cholesterol, increased HDL, and trigs, from near three, to always less than one, also a weight loss of 50 pounds. I have maintained these numbers for three and a half years. My only diabetes medication, two by 500 mg Metformin a day.

Of course this is only anecdotal eh, surely the NHS and DUK must know more than me in controlling type two diabetes ? If they do, why do their figures re. lack of progress, make more depressing news, year on year ? The eat carbs with every meal, for a non insulin using diabetic is a sick joke, they are pushing a diet of DEATH ! If I know it, so must they. But hey, I am not on the payroll of big pharma and junk food companies.

    This sort of grub keeps us going all day. Will it kill us ? What a way to go, far better than checking out on rabbit food.

    For me what better way to start the day than an egg - with some bacon, or ham, or low carb sausages, a handful of mushrooms too! So much good low carb, high fat, moderate protein food to choose from AND with a cup of tea or coffee - it's just right.

    All the best Jan

    That is our usual breakfast also, or sometimes I turn it into a fritatta. I cringe when I think of how I used to feed my children weetbix and toast !
