@lowcarbGP Wished my lipid consultant would read this. After a year of low carb and normal blood readings they still want me on statins and ezetimibe. I really want to come off them.

So my wife Jen has the highest cholesterol I have ever seen in 40 years of medicine (UK 19 USA>600) and features in this fab documentary #Thecholesterolcode explains why I am not worried about this and why her cardiologist feels a statin is not needed WATCH THE FILM it’s on Amazon now!! @realDaveFeldman @nicknorwitz @janellison @ClareWilsonMed @ExpressGilo @RCGP
Dr Jen Unwin@drjenunwin

@lowcarbGP @parthaskar @rcgp @DoctorTro @lowcarb_aus @drtom_butler @DiabetesUK @drjasonfung @timspector Wished our gp would do this. They are even refusing to take me off meds a year later, just side shifting to a different statin! I’ve done the work for a year, proved it works, and now lack motivation! 😢

How long can it take to achieve drug free T2 Diabetes remission? In this case 8 weeks We supplied a continuous glucose monitor instead of drugs and now drugs are not needed. At the moment this is quite against our diabetes guidelines This patient really wonders why ? @parthaskar
English
@DUK_research Cut out the carbs and ultra processed foods. It works in controlling blood glucose, lowering triglycerides and cholesterol.

Researchers at the University of Nottingham are inviting people aged 18-60 living with type 2 diabetes to take part in a research study exploring sensitivity to sweetness🧐

@lowcarbGP @parthaskar @DiabetesUK @rcgp @drchatterjeeuk @hormonedietdoc @KenDBerryMD @drjasonfung @ExpressGilo @ClareWilsonMed @lowcarb_aus @bigfatsurprise @NICEComms Totally agree. It’s not easy to maintain buying these regularly once you are pension age/retired. It would be a great help for many. Yes please
English
@parthaskar @DiabetesUK @rcgp @drchatterjeeuk @hormonedietdoc @KenDBerryMD @drjasonfung @ExpressGilo @ClareWilsonMed @lowcarb_aus @bigfatsurprise @NICEComms Thank you Partha I agree It seems unfair that we are supposed to wait until people are on insulin to be given this help.

WE GOT THE FRONT PAGE ! YIPPEE!!
So proud of what my clever wife @drjenunwin is achieving, this time the marvellous @GeorgiaEdeMD is on our team 👍 Ultraprocessed food addiction is stealing world health. That is how serious this is

@lowcarbGP Not quite got the ability to manage on 1 meal a day as meds need to be taken with food. Loving the low carb way of eating and can feel the benefits. Hoping my lipid consultant agrees tomorrow!
English
Most of my patients who loose significant weight adapt to eating twice or sometimes just once a day. The more often you eat the hungrier you become
Dr David Unwin@lowcarbGP
‘hunger is a conditioned response. We have learned through countless repetition that we eat three times a day, based on the time, no matter how hungry we are, and our hunger rises according to match’
English
@JohnsonBos29095 @robertlufkinmd Too much sugar. I ate lots of fruit whilst slimming. Yes lost weight but damage to my lipids. It’s taken 4 months of Keto to correct my bloods so will not be doing that again!
English
@robertlufkinmd Hard to get fat eating just apples. Same with lots of individual foods.

Mother Nature's Ozempic.
Eggs are one of the
healthiest things that
we can eat.
And it is hard to get fat eating eggs.

I don't know who needs to hear this but..
...these will still put your blood sugars up.
English
@Commoninsense @DrBPHealth Jean you’ve got to go low carb, which is basically protein and fats with green veg
English
@DrBPHealth I love butter, wish my pension ran to Kerrygold. M&S is cheaper.
74 with mobility issues, COPD. How can it help lose the 4 stone I need to?
English
Grass-fed butter is:
•Good for the Heart
•Good for Diabetics
•Good for those Wanting to Lose Weight
•Helps Lower Inflammation
•Good for the Brain
There's hardly a day that goes by that I don't consume it.

@DoctorNike @lowcarbGP @drjasonfung @KenDBerryMD @DrEenfeldt @garytaubes @lowcarb_aus @rcgp @DiabetesUK @ActionSaltSugar @drchatterjeeuk Best to eliminate them from your diet. Try konjac rice. No oats for breakfast, switch to flax or chia with yoghurt and berries.
English
@lowcarbGP @drjasonfung @KenDBerryMD @DrEenfeldt @garytaubes @lowcarb_aus @rcgp @DiabetesUK @ActionSaltSugar @drchatterjeeuk I get this when I break my usual low carb diet and have something high in carbs, like noodles or rice - massive crashes of blood glucose followed by hunger. Even a small portion of oats with yoghurt and nuts for breakfast can cause it. 🤷
English
Carbs make you HUNGRY! They suppress satiety, enabling us to eat more This was adaptive to make the most of the Autumn abundance of fruit to put on fat and get through the winter. But now .., This is a hormonal thing, insulin and GLP-1 are involved Perhaps avoiding carbs boosts GLP-1 ?? @BenBikmanPhD
English
@oldglstuf @lowcarbGP @BenBikmanPhD @drjasonfung @KenDBerryMD @DrEenfeldt @garytaubes @lowcarb_aus @rcgp @DiabetesUK @ActionSaltSugar @drchatterjeeuk There are ways around the ‘pie’ crusts using nut flours and healthy fats. Also a dollop of cream being a healthy fat.
English
@lowcarbGP @BenBikmanPhD @drjasonfung @KenDBerryMD @DrEenfeldt @garytaubes @lowcarb_aus @rcgp @DiabetesUK @ActionSaltSugar @drchatterjeeuk Okay, but are blackberries (as pictured) really the problem?
You can eat an entire pound for 20 net carbs and 195 calories. Blackberries alone have low energy density and provide very high satiety per calorie.
Blackberry cobbler or pie- there's your problem.
English
@lowcarbGP @drjasonfung @KenDBerryMD @DrEenfeldt @garytaubes @lowcarb_aus @rcgp @DiabetesUK @ActionSaltSugar @drchatterjeeuk It’s amazing how full and satiated we’ve become without carbs and UPF! Sticking with it if it hasn’t affected lipids.
English
@lowcarbGP We just need the nhs singing from the same hymn sheet! 🤞for lower triglycerides and cholesterol results. Hba1c dropped into normal range after 8 weeks 🤣
English
@WythenshaweCC It was a beautiful mass and lovely to see so many people and priests.
English
@lowcarbGP Fingers crossed for a good blood result this week. First blood test since starting this woe!
English
There has been a lot of interest in ‘lean mass hyperresponders ‘ These are people on keto who are very lean yet oddly have a very high cholesterol. I wanted to clarify, in clinical practice this condition is VERY VERY rare. In my NHS practice I have found just one case in 12 years. I think because most of my patients are overweight not lean. It’s also very very rare in my patients who become lean @realDaveFeldman @bigfatsurprise @nicknorwitz @DrScottMurray
English
@lowcarbGP @SBakerMD @drchatterjeeuk @ElieJarrougeMD @mgtmccartney @DiabetesUK @rcgp @DoctorTro @DrEenfeldt @bigfatsurprise 8 weeks into lifestyle club low carb and waiting for hba1c testing to see the difference. Just hoping it’s helped my lipids too

Our 151st case of drug free T2D remission 🥳Just look how high his blood sugars were and yet he avoided drugs. He is so proud and feels properly well😊 This is how we did it nutrition.bmj.com/content/early/… Remember starch is ‘soon to be sugar’👍
