    DCUK-Phoenix spills the beans!! Empty DCUK-Phoenix spills the beans!!

    My bold and italics...

    Phoenix wrote: If they are the ones I think they are, by memory they weighed upwards of 80g. Most normal refined flour bread is around 50% carbohydrate . Those particular rolls look like heavy seeded bread but actually the seeds are on the top, not inside and it's obviously finely ground flour so It's relatively fluffy bread, style over substance . I suspect if the GI were measured it would be quite high.
    I'm not into low carbing but I've bought them from the local co-op to my fathers when I haven't been able to get anything else.I don't eat a whole one and I bolus accordingly.

    It is beyond me why Phoenix has worked so hard to bring others down. She must know most diabetics will never get good control with the 45% carb diet she pushes. She has read the countless low carb good news stories, but spreads fear and alarm at every opportunity. Most low carb antis are as thick as a plank, but not Phoenix she is very bright and well educated, and has all the advantages, insulin, a pump, test strips and top medics, while many she confuses can't even get a test strip on prescription or afford to buy their own. Clearly a very bitter woman, life must has dealt her some very bad hands. What she has done over the years is unforgivable, how many has she talked out of the only way they were ever going to get control of their diabetes.

    Hola @eddie

    Who knows eddie? Maybe ask her it will probably be easier in the long run.

    You're lucky. You get it and have done do for some considerable time but not everybody is in the same boat. Yes the message has still to get out there in the mainstream and its probably more effective to go for the mainstream than one particular individual no matter how satisfying that may be in the short or long run.

    I don't know enough about pheonix or your good self to weigh in with an opinion but from what I have seen you are both passionate, knowledgeable and committed to the point of conviction about carbs, for want of a more eloquent summary.

    When's the shift going to happen then? The trashing of pheonix? The educating of the nhs? When Starbucks and the like make more profit selling coffee from selling a £10 cup of coffee with a bit of butter and coco oil in it than coffee and a Danish.

    Latter probably.

    Cheers.

    "Who knows eddie? Maybe ask her it will probably be easier in the long run."

    She knows exactly how I feel about her, and the small cabal that have been responsible for countless low carbers being banned from the flog.

    "You're luc and have done do for some considerable time but not everybody is in the same boat. Yes the message has still to get out there in the mainstream and its probably more effective to go for the mainstream than one particular individual no matter how satisfying that may be in the short or long run.ky. You get it"

    The message is out there big time and gets stronger everyday. "its probably more effective to go for the mainstream than one particular individual"  For over seven years I have gone after the NHS, Diabetes UK, The British Dietetic Association, and the corrupt forum of flog. Two legal actions lasting months, two threats of legal action and two contacts from the police. No, I only go after around a dozen individuals because I have proved some are liars, others totally corrupt and dishonest or spreaders of fear and misinformation.

    "I don't know enough about pheonix or your good self to weigh in with an opinion but from what I have seen you are both passionate, knowledgeable and committed to the point of conviction about carbs, for want of a more eloquent summary."

    What you think of Phoenix is of course your business. "Me, you need people like me, then you can point your f**king fingers and say, there goes the bad guy, so say hello to the bad guy" Sorry mate I couldn't resist the Tony Montana quote.

    I have done a bit to help others. Over twenty thousand posts on forums and blogs, thousands of tweets, millions of page views on blogs I have started. A website set up over seven years ago that has helped a lot of people and set this place up with Mo, Paul and Graham. Now I have recently retired I intend to get my finger out, and put a bit more effort in. BTW I am proud to admit I the UK's most banned man from forums. Evidently my bedside manner sucks and I am far too aggressive, but rightly or wrongly, I don't lose sleep worrying about winning the popularity contest. Flagrant self aggrandisement campaign over. I am very lucky, I work with a fantastic team and try never to forget, I am merely a messenger of the true superstar diabetics I know and the Medical Professionals who advise me and allow me to use their work.

    I eat, drink, sleep and breath the promotion of the low carb message (nothing else works) diabetes sent members of my family to an early painful grave, I have a type two diabetic son and a type two sister, four generations of type two diabetics in my family. My mission is stop diabetes in my family with our grand children's generation. Seven years ago I helped a Woman who was in a bad way to reverse her type two diabetes, she thanked me for saving her life. Of course I cannot save anyone life, but never a day goes by I do not think of that Women. I am a man on a mission, I was always the rebel, the rebel without a cause, what a funny old world eh, I had to become a diabetic to find it.

    I don't know if you have seen our sites there maybe a recipe of something of interest for you. Chuffed you are on board here and great to see you posting regularly. BTW if you have any suggestions, or anyone reading this has any suggestions, please keep them to yourselves, OK that was banter let's hear peoples ideas.

    Cool @Eddie will have a look around the website and have only recently started using Twitter - not fully up and running on that yet but will get there in the end.

    I bow to your bannedness as my wrap sheet only includes a temp ban from the flog and a booting out of my first d.org. uk for taking the mick out of the esteemed guest speaker - an expert diabetes dietician (she wasn't Ed - she was an nhs dietician). We've all got to start somewhere I suppose.

    So is it fair to say then that with retirement you've only just started! The last 7 years were just a warn up? Jees - what is the correct name for a phoenix that doesn't rise from the flames?

    Sorry to hear about the circumstances that lead to your mission and I am sure that you will succeed.

    Just checking your last para - are you open to suggestions or has that department closed for the evening?
