bossymoo - sorry that you aren't feeling too good, hope that you feel better tomorrow. How are the kids? Thanks for the ideas

Mercy - how's it going today?

sistercas - hope that you enjoyed your dinner

Edwardia - hope that your dog has come out of the doldrums.

daska - how are your children and has DS2 got over his bug?

sweatybetty - the article makes sense and it is good that more people are interested in examining the sugar debate

Waiting to watch the tv programme at 9 on BBC2, should be interesting.

I'm watching the programme on bbc2 now - I'm getting quite cross that our diets have changed dramatically over the past few decades just to make money...:eek:

Makes you mad doesn't it. The WORLD HEALTH ORGANISATION, for gods sake, failing to report evidence that would benefit world health, because of the threat of withdrawal of funding!!!

It was also telling that the dr. doing the MRI scans said he was surprised that 1/3 of people were NOT overweight or obese because of the nature of the industry. Hand me a doughnut!!!!!!!

Two more episodes so let's hope that someone listens !!!

Sadly we live in a world that is ALL about making money, especially, more for those who are already extremely wealthy and ALWAYS irriguardless of the health and welfare of the general population!! :mad: They couldn't do that if we are.....and stay....healthy, whether that is via the food we eat, or the multitude of drugs we don't take or need, for the endless real or imagined illnesses that we get from our depleted soils, polluted air and water, or advice from so called health experts, ALL pushed at us by the money-making perspective!!!

I've reached a point where, sadly, I don't believe anything I here/read from these so called experts, until I've done masses of research about any given subject, and even then, with an air of caution!!!

Always see if there is a money trail when reading/hearing about "health" info., and if the trail is very strong, ie. research sponsered by the industry pushing said info...BEWARE!!!!!...and tread with caution.

Sorry for the rant, but it makes me soo :mad::mad::mad:, especially when the truth is hidden from the masses so that the few can financially prosper at our expense!!!!

Hello everyone

I hope you dont mind me barging in on you all. I have been thinking a lot about going very low carb/ carb free and have decided to give it a go starting on Sunday.

Firstly can I ask do you feel better for it? Less bloated? Healthier?

Also what do you recommend as staples I should get in my food shop tommorrow?

Thank you for your time, I hope you dont mind me jumping on board x

hi !!!!!!, nice to see you! What kind of plan are you following, as a few of us do slightly different things? I follow paleo/primal, which is low carb but allows for plenty of fruit and veg

My bloating went down so much in the first month, it was amazing. The main benefit for me waas stabalising of my blood sugars, i no longer get crashes or ravenous hunger after 3 hours! x

I am not sure what plans there are?

I was just going to cut out most carbs, bread, pasta, rice, wheat but still eat most veggies, protein and fruit, how do I find out what plans there are?

Help please xx:o

Well i only really know about paleo/primal or Atkins, this website is good
www.marksdailyapple.com

On paleo/primal i eat meat, veg, fruit, fish, eggs, fruit and nuts. Some people still have dairy but i can't stomach it. Don't be afraid of eating fat as you'll need this for your energy rather than carbs. So currently i cook with olive oil but want to track down some coconut oil as this is meant to be good.

Hopefully others will tell you what they do too x

edit - you don't need to follow a specific plan, i was only really asking in case you had something in mind and i contradicted it
