Did you know that artificial sweeteners actually trick your metabolism into thinking sugar is on its way? This causes your body to pump out insulin, the fat storage hormone, which lays down more belly fat, leaving you hungrier and craving even more sugar and starchy carbs.

Be VERY careful of going high protein if you’re highly stressed and are quite active, especially cardio. Can make sleep and stress worse in addition to crashing your testosterone
What happens when switching from 15 years of LCHF, to a high protein, low carb diet? After 4.5 months of 43% protein (40F/17C) I've lost 3.5 inches in the waist and dropped my body fat to around 8.1%. That's the lowest of my adult life, and I'm 49. Feels good, flexible, easy.

The biggest hormonal disorder we face is insulin resistance. One in three Americans has pre-diabetes and 34 million Americans have diabetes.

2 emails from friends overnight saying the same thing, one a GP and local NHS leader and the other a clinical academic. They say they’ve achieve more progress in their work in the last 6 days than in the previous 6 months. People are making things happen and barriers are removed

At your request have tried 500ml of @innocent Smoothie which sent my sugars ⬆️⬆️⬆️ It's a worry for me that these drinks are marketed as "healthy options". Often to children At 12g sugar/100ml, my 500ml drink contained the equivalent of 15 teaspoons of sugar 😳

"What do you mean there's no press here, who are these people?" @BorisJohnson was confronted by a Labour activist during a visit to a hospital - the man, who was visiting a sick relative, told the PM "the NHS has been destroyed". Read the full story: po.st/gTnK4r

Yesterday, my client who was on #insulin 13 weeks ago and now eats a #lowcarb diet had her 2 month follow-up visit with her Endocrinologist and his Dietitian. She got two entirely different reactions to her HUGE progress from each. lchf-rd.com/2019/09/13/seein…

Dear @JKCorden, You’re 100% spot on. Fat shaming is not just wrong it makes the problem worse. 60% of #NHS staff are also now overweight or obese The real root cause of #obesity is the food environment Let’s make the healthy choice the easy choice google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.thegu…
“If making fun of fat people made them lose weight, there’d be no fat kids in schools.” — @JKCorden responds to @billmaher's call for the return of fat shaming.

Aseem Malhotra on Sky News this morning! 😀 - is the #CholesterolCon continuing? - are #Statin being over-prescribed to low-risk who hardly benefit, and mainly just get side effects? - #InsulinResistance as cause makes a joke of "cholesterol" - why doesn't it get highlighted?
