I have been looking at this study on diabetes that was published last year. The study compared a ketogenic low-carbohydrate diet versus a low-glycemic diet in the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The low-carbohydrate diet was found to more effective. In fact, 95% of subjects on the low-carb diet were able to reduce or eliminate their medications. 95% - that seems like a lot to me!

The menus this week have been pretty similar to last week with scrambled eggs, frittata or fried eggs for breakfast with sausages or bacon. I've had a problem with the afternoon meals though as many of them were not really the sort of foods to put in a food flask so I have been making up a salad with a bit of french dressing and some meats...
