I take it you're a Type 1 ?

It seems what we think is an ideal BMI is all wrong. The tubby's have got it right.

Why diet? Jus eat good food and be active.

Yeah it will, after about a fortnight. Bug for a few days your metabolism will increase if you're on a restricted diet, and for good reasons. Your doc is telling you old, disproven, discredited news.

HH was borderline diabetic so went on the diet, no sugar, is a big ask for him, he only drinks soft drink and coffee and water. He lost 12kg and feeling much better. Hmm I must remind him to go back to the doctors and check his sugar levels again.

To clarify my comment. I'm not referring to Type 1 diabetes as I have no knowledge of it. I am referring to normal people and Type 2 diabetes.

I understand that Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune condition and is a completely different kettle of fish.
