And of course, if you know where your veg comes from ie you've grown it yourself, then even better!Vintage Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929038050028476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-60156777512773943832012-05-25T09:06:19.663+01:002012-05-25T09:06:19.663+01:00Vintagemaison - I meant to add, that anyone with d...Vintagemaison - I meant to add, that anyone with diabetes should always follow their Doctors advice, every person is different and you have to do what's best for the individual.<br /><br />And it's also how well you feel in yourself, we would never do diets that made us ill or messed about with our long term health.<br /><br />We are purely doing this as low carb/wholemeal carb and eating only unprocessed food suits us both completely.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-44927539959788762762012-05-25T08:28:52.460+01:002012-05-25T08:28:52.460+01:00Woozy - thanks for the good wishes, it's only ...Woozy - thanks for the good wishes, it's only Day 2 and already I'm feeling better.<br /><br />Mrs Thrifty - it was just a happy coincidence with my appointment, but I thought it only fair to do Lovely Hubbys too to balance out any potential weight loss side effect of less hair...... Lol!<br /><br />Vintagemaison - Lovely Hubby also has to eat wholemeal carbs for his diabetes and this diet is the only healthy one that includes these from day 1 even in the first strict part. The main priority in LH's Doctors opinion is for him to get his weight down as quickly as possible and this is seen as a healthy way to do it. As I eat NO meat it suits me too, it is the most versatile diet around that only includes real food. The actual worst foods for diabetics is the very food sold as Diabetic Food, it's been tampered with that much.<br /><br />Penny - Thanks.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04177854521955532744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-14350331727413960142012-05-24T19:38:48.840+01:002012-05-24T19:38:48.840+01:00Good luck both of you !Good luck both of you !BadPennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09889591351222591488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-37484539100137899222012-05-24T19:08:05.740+01:002012-05-24T19:08:05.740+01:00We have made enquiries with Diabetes UK about this...We have made enquiries with Diabetes UK about this diet but they don't seem too impressed - I think it's because of her view of carbohydrates. My OH MUST eat plenty of carbs otherwise he becomes hypo, and his sugar level falls far too low. He does eat mainly wholemeal carbs, no white stuff. We are reading everything very carefully, but I think it might not suit me either due to reflux problems - I can't eat too much meat or fat. We're a bit like Jack Sprat and his missus!<br /><br />Anyway, good luck with the diet - I think you've just got to go with whatever suits your lifestyle.Vintage Maisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00929038050028476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-40677419719757013082012-05-24T18:14:37.514+01:002012-05-24T18:14:37.514+01:00Ooo good luck with the diet - will watch your prog...Ooo good luck with the diet - will watch your progress with interest. Is the hair cutting part of the diet or just a cheats way of trying to lose more weight? lol xxMrs Thriftyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05262448676261474746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8468906973954014850.post-22525475611075773772012-05-24T17:35:40.685+01:002012-05-24T17:35:40.685+01:00Thanks for this post Sue, I have just been on the ...Thanks for this post Sue, I have just been on the FODMAP diet (prescribed by a dietician for IBS/food intolerance/allergy issues) and was looking for something similar, although slightly less restrictive, now I've finished it. The Harcombe diet looks like it will fit the bill perfectly. Am currently on hols (and eating stuff I shouldn't, and boy am I suffering for it!), but will be starting the Harcombe diet when we get back on Sunday. Good luck with it!<br /><br />Regards, Sooze xxSoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
