8pm on BBC tonight - The Truth About Carbs

I agree he is a bit of a book whore… his current book is the Blood Sugar Diet that is basically the commercialization of Roy Taylor’s work… wouldn’t surprise me if Taylor gets a piece of the profits?

Taylor wrote the intro so I’m pretty sure he gets something…
I think Taylor was glad of the publicity that Moseley brings.

although wolves and sheep do come to mind I’m not a Moseley fan in case you hadn’t noticed).
He got a bit of a verbal mauling from someone I know at the conference which left him looking a bit shell shocked!

There was a bit around the 16:30 - 17:15 mark which he discussed that freezing bread turned the carbs from “easily digestible starched to resistant starches” and that it ends up “feeding your but bacteria and not you”.

I can take or leave most bread but do have a serious soft spot for the odd slice of sourdough every now and then. Read via google that freezing and toasting lowers the GI, but am unsure as to how it impacts the number of carbs in that slice (if at all). - Not understanding the science behind this at all

I had a slice this morning, not felt any different but it could just be that a slice now and then and keeping withing your daily carb limit is not going to show any problems anyway.

@Duncan_K might want to include the youtube link on the first post … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Us8Art5EOFc

Done, cheers!

I thought it was pretty good, or a good start at least. They shied away from replacing carbs with fats, but as a primer for the regular population it might make a few people think. Of course, people have to be in a position where they’re ready to hear the message.

just caught up on this and very mixed … they accepted the Insulin theory of getting fat from Carbs but then said we need to eat carbs to live so it become good I guess for those outside of our circle. They may watch this and cut down but for us it never went far enough …

However in general a VERY VERY positive programme and the vitriol I have seen on twitter from carb advocates shows it hit the spot !

Dr Unwin’s programme, in the small study at the end of this documentary.

NHS green light for Low Carb Program

Yes I read Dr.MM was reviewing the low carb /fasting diet. I tried 5:2 fasting but just didn’t enjoy it and didn’t feel well on it.

Sourdough is the only bread I miss, too. A slice, toasted, with thick salted butter and a cup of coffee…
I personally find it hard to believe the science shown but even if it were true, I don’t think it’d have any influence on the carbs, which are obviously high.

I have taken to making toast for my other half and then sneaking a bite. 1g carb per bite I can get away with :slight_smile:
