For fuck's sake. God help us.

Fucking hell, I didn’t realise this was actually serious.

It's a fucking joke.

It’s portion sizes rather than carbs that are the problem, IMO - unless we’re talking stuff like processed bread.

You are wrong. The body processes carbs differently to fat and proteins. Animal derived fats and proteins are also more nutrient dense.

Anyway you do your thing as you see fit, I just do what works for me.

Carnivore diet?

I eat 100g of pasta 5 or 6 days a week without any problems. It’s 100% portion sizes that are the problem.

I agree. Portion control in the UK is completely warped

More ketogenic, meat/fish/eggs with some veg and dairy but the main thing is avoidance of carbs like bread, pasta, pizza, rice, chips, pies & anything in a package though I err now and again.

I grow veg on an allotment but end up giving most of it away.

I am very concerned about how often you are using that emoji in posts recently

Forgot to mention this added bonus. On more than one occasion when I’ve actually managed to get an appointment to see my GP when I’ve gone to the appointment there's come a point where the person I'm seeing has said 'I can't deal with that, you'll need to see a doctor'.

The last government had a plan to make more appointments available by bringing in a level between practice nurses and GPs. ANPs who could prescribe and treat routine things. Not a bad idea, right?

Except the implementation has been appalling. To encourage uptake the cost of employing an ANP is subsidised by the government. So what actually happened was practices replaced some of their GPs with ANPs. Same number of appointments so NHS management doesn't complain but they've saved money and therefore make more profit.

We've got the crazy situation where it's a nightmare trying to get a GP appointment yet we have a load of unemployed GPs, who increasingly are moving overseas, and newly qualified GPs struggling to find a job.

Reform warns it wouldn't take Liz Truss or Suella Braverman if they decided to leave the Tories amid concerns they would damage the party's image

Have you considered changing your doctor?

Surely that's common sense though? If he eats the same but isn't doing the same physical graft then that's going to happen.

Obviously

I can’t believe the NHS is now giving weight loss jabs on the NHS. If you eat less you lose weight.
