Ok Jimmy would be the first to admit he's got weight to lose, but I would not describe Dr Briffa as overweight. You can view a photo of him here with an overweight member of the audience http://www.dietdoctor.com/found-my-long-lost-twin. You can also see more overweight Low Carb cruisers here http://www.fathead-movie.com/index.php/2012/05/17/the-cruise-and-kruse-report/

Coming next another overweight Low Carber Denise Minger.

I suggest you read Jimmy's blog to get the full story, one thing you will get from him is the truth something that is alien to the anti's.

The idea that we are fat and it's ALL YOUR FAULT is borne out of stupidity I think you'll agree Claire. I'm a classic example of the opposite Iv'e never been fat and never will be despite all the calories (high fat) I get through but still developed Type 2.

Who said anything about diabetics being fat! The point is that you all sell the idea that lC leads to wt loss so how can someone clearly so very overweight lead the cause . Look at pics of Dr Briffa - maybe he airbrushes his photos but he is chunky as well.

Hey stupid why on earth would Dr Briffa airbrush his photographs, he is often photographed in public does he airbrush all those photos as well?

Get a life creep

should have made it clear - on his website looks much thinner - he is clearly fatter than he portrays.
Jimmy Moore clearly shows low carbing is not working!

fibreclaireUK said...

The purpose of low-carbing, as I understand it, is to control blood sugar levels.

Not to lose weight.

Losing weight is called "dieting" and can happen alongside low-carbing, but is not, of itself, low-carbing alone.

Also, some people are naturally chunkier than others.

Claire you are 100% right. How many of us diabetics would have started low carbing if we were not diabetics. Most type two diabetics have no option, it’s lowcarb or injected insulin full stop. Weight loss is an added bonus when required. Weight loss does not always occur and in many cases is not desirable. Graham is one of the twenty percent of never been over weight type two diabetics. My wife is a low carbing very slim non diabetic low carber. Although I do not believe a calorie is just a calorie, calories are still important. A person could low carb and still put on weight with a very high calorie intake.

Well controlled type two diabetics have a huge incentive to keep the carbs low, high BG leads to gruesome complications. Also because of insulin resistance issues, weight reduction is usually beneficial. Before diabetes I was not bothered in the slightest about being 50lbs over weight and my shape was of no interest to me or others.

Jimmy Moore and John Briffa are not diabetics and their weight or shape is their business. Jimmy has admitted he has weight issues and hides from no one. Maybe if I had lost a brother at a young age and an un born child within the last year my shape and weight would go to the back of my priorities. One thing is undoubted, for most type two diabetics the control of BG numbers is best controlled by eating to your meter. Your BG meter usually confirms if you want non diabetic BG numbers it’s lowcarbing or more meds, there is no other way.

So you reached the conclusion about Dr Briffa from a head and shoulders photo, figures seeing you said the whole of the audience were overweight from seeing the back of their heads.

Jimmy Moore has come off medications for blood pressure, cholesterol and breathing problems since going Low Carb he's far healthier, so it's definitely working for him.

low carbing in what ever form was devised to decrease weight - atkins , south beach etc.
If it works why is Jummy Moore so heavy and other pics I have seen of that cruise show an audience of the same! If I was him I would feel rather uncomfortable fronting it!

Low carbing was used to control BG numbers for diabetics before Atkins was born. You obviously know nothing about the control of diabetes and diets,are you a dietition by any chance ?

You are sounding like a broken record re Jimmy not 'Jummy' Moore and how many times have I told you to start a sentence with a capital letter.

Try harder and stop obsessing about 'Jummy' I think you fancy the guy.

What a hypocrite you are Eddie. You describe other people who have had major traumas in the lives as emotional cripples. What is so different about Jimmy that he does not deserve that title? A fat bloke trying to convince people that low carb will make them thin, there is some irony in that don't you think?

As for his sidekick Danny DeVito, he can talk the talk but if the photos are anything to go by he can only be described as chunky.

I don’t recall calling anyone an emotional cripple, but you certainly fit the description. Hiding out and skulking in the shadows as anonymous. Nothing to add to the debate, and ridiculing a couple of guys you clearly have major issues with. They like me stand on their convictions, and post and appear under their real names. Our mug shots are out there, you are too gutless and weak to even post under a forum made up name.

Get a life before it is too late. Stop skulking in the shadows if you want to have any credibility here. No doubt you will never do that, may I suggest Carbo’s blog is the natural home for the gutless and the failed. Kenny boys blog also needs people like you, go for it.

You know it makes sense, why fight it.

I came across another Blog earlier for the first time that might suit these Anonymous Anti's a bit better too-Carbsane Asylum is the name,lot's of scientific jargon but I get the impression that lowcarbers are not exactly flavour of the month on there too! Jeez,this anti stuff runs deeper than I first thought!

So why was this book from 1917 full of Low Carb recipes?
