Diet Doctor

I was diagnosed as a Type II diabetic in late 2015. The staff at my local NHS GP surgery recommended the standard NICE schedule of treatment, i.e. consume 1/3rd calories from carbs, low saturated fat etc., and take tablets for the rest of your life.
Web research led me to Diet Doctor, where I found a wealth of good science about the carb intolerance I have, and how to change one's lifestyle so as to hold the condition in check. I have followed the advice from Diet Doctor since 2015, changing my caloric intake to 80:15:5 (fat:protein:carb), with additional fasting. At my last three-monthly HbA1c check, my Diabetic Nurse said "I wish all my patients were like you".

Diet Doctor Team, thanks for all you do.

Since finding Diet Doctor New Years Eve 2017 I have been eating keto. I have since lost 15kg without much effort, I am loathed to call this way of eating a diet as such, because this is now how I eat for the rest of my life. Through this site I have learnt so much both practical and theory, but still find a lot of opposition to my way of thinking. People are still trying to tell me to eat low fat and exercise more to lose weight. I'm living proof that low fat does not work long term. I love that Diet Doctor has all the information you need in one place, this is my go to site.

Found this site after I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and when my cardiologist told my wife the reason was, "He's getting old and fat" (I'm not THAT old). So started this diet using the tools and recipes on the site and went from approx. 216 lbs@ 5'10", to 195 lbs over about 3 months. I use many of the recipes from the site and often (even today) view some of the videos online when I want some encouragement. Through this site I have discovered other resources and other local area physicians (like Dr Westman) that I have been able to attend conferences and listen to their lectures. I find the site informative and not just a bunch of opinions that any ready can upload - it's actually useful information.

I cannot emphasize how amazingly the whole concept of Keto and intermittent fasting is working out!
Food cravings gone, no guilty feelings for eating the food i love, and the kg's just keep going down. Never felt more alive in my life, struggling with Hashimoto, IR and PCOS all my life, and this whole program has make me for once feel like it is not such a big deal. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Diet Doctor Team, you make an exceptional group of humans for contributing to the entire world with this website and the amount of vast information provided there.

I've been following a keto/low carb diet for 47 years. With all the new hype on the web these days, you'd go dizzy searching for just the right program - if you are a complete novice or need a bit of updating in your program, this is THE best place to get your information. You can design your own program, there are lots of options, then get a shopping list and a menu for the week. And the monthly cost is very affordable - 2 Large Lattes at Starbucks! DO IT - sign up for the month subscription - have a look at all the videos. It is well worth it! I still go back all the time for recipes and I am dedicated to read the newsletters - something new and interesting each month. I will admit that I occasionally search for recipes elsewhere, but that is the sum total of my keto surfing. My info comes solely from Diet Doctor. I highly recommend this site. WendyB

I have been on the ketogenic diet for 3 years, about as long as I have subscribed to Diet Doctor. It has been a great help to me, giving advice, menus, recipes and access to wonderful lectures and movies that gave me the impetus to continue the diet. 55 pounds later, I still visit the website at least weekly. I've lost weight, regulated my cholesterol and triglycerides, brought my A1C down to 4.9 and made a believer out of my doctor. Diet Doctor is the only website (and I sample lots and lots) that consistently offers believable, timely information that actually works. And they're not trying to sell you anything!

I came across the Diet Doctor website 3 years ago when I was diagnosed as being pre-diabetic and was trying to learn about carbs and how to reduce them in my diet. I have found the content invaluable and appreciate the fact that site is ad free to assure that we get the truth. I subscribe to Diet Doctor and am happy to help so that we can continue to get truthful/helpful information from trusted and proven sources. Thank you for the continued guidance on my health journey. I would definitely recommend the site to anyone and everyone that has questions or concerns about LCHF or Keto. There is something for everyone.

I started low carb way back when Atkins made it popular and lost 120 lbs. Over the years I have gone up and down several times but now with all of the resources on Diet Doctor I have found answers to all of the difficulties that I have experienced and am now well on my way back to good health.

This is the beginning of my 7th week following Keto with the diet doctor website. As of this morning I am down 25.4 lbs! I have found the diet doctor meal plans to be very helpful. I started with the 2 week challenge and felt that I needed the structure of the meal plans so I signed up. The toughest part was the first 3-4 days but after that it's been pretty simple to follow. After week 4 I incorporated intermittent fasting. I rarely have any cravings and have tons more energy! I only wish there was more response to some of the questions on the site from the creators of the recipes to help with planning. Looking forward to more and more milestones!
