...'on the road again' reminds me of a song!<br /><br />Great article Tess. Modern diet and lifestyle has to be questioned time and time again. The shame of it, for a lot of us, it wasn't until we became ill, perhaps we developed diabetes ..... did we put in the research. We were happy trekking along thinking we're ok when little did we realise we certainly were not.<br /><br />Once we've done our research, read our articles, changed our lifestyle and discovered how much better we are for it and then shared this knowledge with others if only one person takes it on board we would have made some difference. <br /><br />Have a good few days<br /><br />All the best JanLowcarb team memberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961199165290289611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-13040338681626000082014-07-30T07:30:32.767-05:002014-07-30T07:30:32.767-05:00knowing that YOU read here, Lauren, I always get a...knowing that YOU read here, Lauren, I always get a twinge of guilt when I paint your profession with a wide brush -- I KNOW there are enlightened physicians doing their best to teach what they know works. I also know how Robt. Atkins was pilloried for doing just that. it's the AMA and the universities that make me so mad with their autocracy! if THEY don't acknowledge the importance of nutrition, how is anyone else -- not driven to learn about it because we NEED to, to have anything like a normal life -- supposed to conclude that food, sleep, supplementation and such MATTER!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-68205507085074033692014-07-30T04:43:25.589-05:002014-07-30T04:43:25.589-05:00Well, as a doctor fighting the good fight, I know ...Well, as a doctor fighting the good fight, I know why the other docs won't "let you drive"..fear and litigation. Additionally they've been trained in this manner and if you step out of the box you are on your own. Literally.<br />That said, I'm so glad that I fad diet you know lowcarb, ketogenic and gluten free. But any day now I'll probably just drop over dead from the seven years of this VLC life. The GF life is non-negotiable and has been for 34 years. all day long I treat a parade of ill people. They are obese, diabetic, hypertensive, gouty, hypothyroid, in congestive heart failure, etc. The will not stop smoking or eating sugar.<br />I plan to do this a few more years and pay off my bills...the see ya! <br />But, thanks for the great rant! ;)Larcanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109743909244156390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-8180939764099594662014-07-29T19:06:05.850-05:002014-07-29T19:06:05.850-05:00and, tra-la-la! -- idiot dieticians insist that it...and, tra-la-la! -- idiot dieticians insist that it's dangerous to give up sugar, and that diabetics should eat starches with every meal.... magazine columnists tell people that low-carb diets are unhealthy, and that 95% of dieters fail, but that everyone should be on a low-fat diet and exercise their asses off anyway.... under the circumstances _I_ don't blame advertisers for claiming their junk food is healthy -- just like cigarette ads from our childhoods with doctors recommending smoking, if health professionals insist a bad diet is a good diet (and vice versa) who is going to believe otherwise?tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-21187729195714995582014-07-29T18:18:10.219-05:002014-07-29T18:18:10.219-05:00No, they wouldn't.
