Always love hearing from happy readers...:D Thanks! Always love hearing from happy readers. I think I, too, am an obligate carnivore. I actually love vegetables very much and probably could be a vegetarian if I had to, but I know I feel (and look!) better when I eat adequate animal protein. But even when I was a kid, I loved the veg most kids tend to hate: broccoli, brussels sprouts, asparagus. Didn't even have to be roasted with bacon fat or with balsamic vinegar, hehheh. I liked them plain just fine, and still do. I don't know if I would "miss" meat if I gave it up, but I do know I fare better with a good amount of animal foods.<br /><br />Pet those kitties for me! I love cats, but live in a rented house now with housemates, and no pets are allowed. :(Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-91346182056772396352017-01-14T11:09:45.620-05:002017-01-14T11:09:45.620-05:00I LOVE your blog!

I am also enjoying your Alzheimer's book, which helps keep me on the straight and narrow.<br /><br />My friends tease me that like my beloved kitties, I am an "obligate carnivore." Low carb eating has been an incredibly important tool in my own health challenges, and you are one of my favorite writers on the subject.<br /><br />Don't stop :)Way of Catshttp://www.wayofcats.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-23624262715845734912017-01-14T07:35:32.866-05:002017-01-14T07:35:32.866-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-9610841513363709662017-01-13T21:00:44.670-05:002017-01-13T21:00:44.670-05:00Thanks, Tracy.

It's going to take some time for me to identify my optimal/most effective dose, but there have already been a few pinpricks of light in an otherwise very longstanding, deep, and immense darkness. So the fact that I've had *any* better moments at all is promising, as this is more than I've had for the last two and a half years or so. I'm not feeling all that great just yet, but I'm hopeful and optimistic for the first time in way too long. :)Tuit Nutritionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15708859914305178756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-42228855309952879802017-01-13T16:04:29.448-05:002017-01-13T16:04:29.448-05:00I'm looking forward to reading these posts, as...I'm looking forward to reading these posts, as I've been around here a year or so, but I wanted to say, Darn it!

Coming from a family with quite a bit of history of cancer, it gave me so much more information than I ever thought possible.<br /><br />I also love all your posts that keep us off the "carrot train to crazytown". :)<br /><br />Gonna get sappy here...

A scientist by training I am now studying for becoming a nutritionist. What can I say...your blog is a huge help. You keep me going when the learning materials are about to make me reconsider my decision..., since it is very much based on promoting official guidelines (high carb, no fat, reduce consumtion of animal foods...). I love your humor, the explanations and your open-mindedness. Many thanks for this awesome resource.

As you know Canada is making changes to its food guidelines. <br />I wrote to Sonia Sidhu who is a member of the committee asking this question ".Do you think changes in the guidelines will reflect enough change to benefit diabetics? " <br />The current recommended minimum intake for carbohydrates is not less than 130 g/day, which in my opinion. is way too high. <br />My main concerns is that I am lead to believe that dieticians must follow the Canada Food Guidelnes for people who have diabetes. <br />My husband was prescribed a high carbohydrate diet of 60% from the time he was diagnosed in 1967 to the time of his death in 2013.<br /><br />Ms. Sidhu replied to me as follows;<br />"As co-chair of the all-party Diabetes Caucus, a former diabetes educator, and the Member of Parliament for Brampton South – I can say categorically that we need to do more on this issue.<br />I will discuss some of these suggestions with my colleagues at the next meeting of the all-party Diabetes Caucus and also at Health Committee when the topic arises."<br /><br />Hope there may be some light at the end of the tunnel after all.Joan Mercantinihttps://www.facebook.com/jmercantininoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4833628955058077617.post-35955521795697738752017-01-12T07:33:32.677-05:002017-01-12T07:33:32.677-05:00 An item on the Montreal news last night.

I have learned a lot about nutrition in the time that I've read your blog, and wanted to thank you for delivering that knowledge in a writing style that I greatly enjoy. <br /><br />I know that some of the comments people have made on here were not the nicest, but rest assured that there are plenty of people like me that appreciate your insights and hope you keep on doing so.<br /><br />P.S. I am a big fan of the food label posts! I think it's because I often find myself doing the same at a grocery store, and -- much like your blog slogan -- trying to find the good stuff "in the sea of nutritional madness."Brandon Knausnoreply@blogger.com
