I think that if you are struggling with your health or weight loss whether it is only a few kilos or trying to come back from years of obesity and you can't make sense of all of the conflicting dietary information or you are a Type 2 diabetic or insulin resistant (I think it would be an eye opener to know the number of undiagnosed cases because usually blood tests only measure fasting blood glucose and don't measure fasting insulin which if monitored would indicate the the onset of insulin resistance years earlier and avert the need for doctors to say "well oh my - you appear to have become diabetic, we better get you on some diabetes medication, I'm sorry to inform you that it will probably only keep your blood sugar in check for a while but it's OK we have some more serious medications when that can't stem the onset. They will make you gain weight more but there you go - what can you do - it's a degenerative disease. Weren't you listening when I told you to eat less and move more. Oh, and you will have a few years of this before we will need to start chopping the buggered bits off you.") I have stumbled across a series of podcasts called "Peak Human" really recommend to all. Host has a lean to low carb/keto but interviews learned people from all angles and provides references for studies etc. I had found a lot of the info independently but this summarises really well. Hopefully, I have found the info early enough - hope others can too.

118.3 kg Lost so far: 43.7 kg.    Still to go: 8.3 kg.    Diet followed: Reasonably Well.
