Why put rice ie carbs on the front of a leaflet about T2 diabetes??? Why not show eggs, olive oil and non starchy veggies which is what people with T2 diabetes should actually eat to reverse their condition? Not impressed at all…

@DrEenfeldt I’ve been eating low carb for 8 years and have kept my diabetes in remission. But I do really miss some carbs such as simple porridge oats for example. Are you now saying that total calories rather than carbs are the issue with T2 diabetes?

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@lowcarbGP @rcgp @DiabetesUK @OfficialADSOrg I’ve been eating 4 eggs for my first meal for over 8 years now. Latest A1C is 33. Was diabetic on medication for over 10 years. Reversal is definitely possible!

@DrEenfeldt @ProfTimNoakes Seems more likely that Covid lead to an accelerated spike in obesity given the diabetes rate is still going up. I’m seeing most people who stopped GLP1s gaining it all back across socials

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@BenBikmanPhD Are you aware of any research / evidence on non responders to GLP1s? Have been on Mounjaro over 3 months now and no effect on suppression, food noise or fullness for longer. Could I be a non responder?

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@BenBikmanPhD would appreciate advice on microdosing Wegovey to get me back on track with low carb. Which dose do you recommend for a 90 day temporary use? Lost 100 pounds 7 yrs ago with low carb; gained 20 back over last yr (menopause & increase in hunger & fruit carbs). Thanks

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt Low carb helped me tremendously to reverse T2 diabetes and lose 100 pounds & kept it off for 7 years. But it’s not getting me to the finishing line no matter how hard I try I can’t seem to shift the final 20odd pounds

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt Gosh and I‘ve been avoiding lentils for years now for fear my diabetes reversal might be compromised if I eat them! Love lentils in salads

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@etventadv @DrEenfeldt 4eggs, 4 bacon rashers, my homemade protein bread, 250g Greek Joghurt for meal 1. A protein bar as a snack. 2 Mince beef burgers with cheese in salad wrap and cottage cheese & 90% cacao for desert

@jakebraekes @DrEenfeldt Interesting. My waste to hip ratio is 0.82 which seems to be below the 0.85 recommendation for women. Guess below 0.8 would be an ideal goal to aim for

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt Love beans but have been avoiding them for fear of my diabetes returning. Why are they now good all of a sudden? Hard to figure out what is the right way anymore these days

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt I eat loads of protein (easily over 2 g per kg of body weight) but am always worried this leads to higher blood sugar levels which as a reversed diabetic would be worrisome. A1C hovering in low 5‘s so a bit higher than I‘d like it to be. Should I eat less protein & more fat?

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt Is there really any point in being concerned about fibre and sugar alcohols when trying to lose weight? Or is net carbs the thing to look at?

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@Tellit007 @DrEenfeldt Definitely used it. Great it works for you. I’m sure you’re hoping the strong research data on how most people gain most of the weight back when they stop taking GLP1s won’t apply to you

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@Tellit007 @DrEenfeldt Any quality hard outcome data on GLP1’s is useless to me if it just doesn’t work for me. Did my own n=1 study

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@DrEenfeldt Agree, think SPC is the next thing to give a go. Sounds like the most sensible approach long term

[C Veggie @C_Veggie]

@BenBikmanPhD been low carb & 18:6 for 7 years (reversed T2 & lost 100 pounds & kept it off for 6.5 yrs). Now menopausal & gained 15 pounds (BMI 31). Just cannot shift the weight again as I’m so hungry. Would GLP1 be a good option for a few months to get me started again? Thanks
