… not many will know that the boy who played Oliver in Oliver Twist; gave up acting very early thereafter and became an Osteopath . He has/had a Practice in Swindon, England.
My comment is about the Substack article on the X Post by the American Diabetes Association representative. She recommended the Plate Method for diabetics. (I couldn't comment on the Substack, b/c not a subscriber) Maybe it was her presentation of the subject, but I wouldn't recommend throwing out the "Plate Method" totally. I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2 in 2018, and was also clinically obese at the time. My diabetes nurse practitioner recommended this "diet" to me. As a nurse, I had seen the results of untreated diabetes, so I was serious about changing my diet. I often made my "plate" 3/4 non-starchy vegetables, or when I did use that 1/4 for something starchy, it was oven roasted potatoes with the skins on, or whole wheat/grain bread, brown rice, or something similar. I slowly lost about 2-3 lbs every month, until I lost 60 pounds - and I have kept it off for 4 years, using the same lifestyle "diet." My weight only varies between 60-68 lbs (lost) in these 4 years. I was also encouraged to exercise, which I did once I lost enough for my back to stop spasming every time I tried to walk any distance. I now walk regularly. My A1C now varies between 5.4 and 5.7. I am no longer clinically obese, either. The plate method diet is the first diet I have used which has had been successful long-term. It IS low-carb, if used appropriately.
Great interview with Dr Marik and Peter Boghossian. His head exploded by the end. I totally get it. I've gone through that same process myself. But - only honest people will have this experience.
