Interesting
British oil company Shell is facing a lawsuit filed by survivors of Typhoon Rai, which struck southern and central Philippines in 2021. The complaint argues that Shell’s carbon emissions contributed to climate change, resulting in severe impacts on affected Philippine communities. READ: abs-cbn.com/news/business/20…

A fantastic innovation.

Yes, that’s right, we’re working on a real food barcode scanner and it’s coming along nicely! Hopefully we’ll be able to release it in the next few months. Watch this space!

Sale. The north west - great. It would be great to see inroads into the Fylde Coast and Wyre regions where there is some stiff resistance even now. @FyldeCoastNHS @CentreQueensway
Fantastic engagement from almost 200 patients in Sale over the last couple of days - all interested to hear about type 2 diabetes remission using diet and lifestyle approaches - lets hope we can continue to roll out TLC across the North West!

@HealthierFltwd Results like this are also being replicated in regions of the UK for example in Southport and large swathes of Hampshire and others. But why isn’t it being replicated across the whole of the UK?
I’m so pleased that the Freshwell Low Carb Community have formally set themselves up as an independent community group. Their peer support is a joy to behold. 😀A recent poll Facebook poll of the group indicated average weight loss of 2 stone 6lb (13.6kg) since starting low carb!

In addition to the Freshwell Low Carb Community having a Facebook group of >1,400 members, there are so many opportunities for local members to meet up and for new members to join in. Check out April’s busy schedule! ⬇️

And this @PHCukorg @lowcarbGP 75% of Y6 boys in the N.West now classed as obese. blackpoolgazette.co.uk/healt…

😱 truly shocking how 'slow burning' disasters don't get peoples attention... I suppose we could always do something about it tomorrow! Public Health Collaboration charity @PHCukorg has a project to tackle this: phcuk.org/cfk/ Led by evidence not profit motives

Hopefully QISMET accreditation (a mark of excellent quality in the self-management sector) will now mean that more UK surgeries will feel confident to commission PHC's TLC service aimed at T2 diabetes remission thelifestyleclub.uk/

Yes Jon , you should see the Y6 kids in my daughter’s primary school when they were in Y5! In Y5 it was getting close to 50% then.
Michael Gove stops Papa John's store opening over obesity fears for local children. Article quotes year 6 obesity rate at over 20% and UK government trying to do something about it. Would be good to follow this up with actionable info on alternatives telegraph.co.uk/business/202…

What’s their beef with it? Even the British dietetics association recommend it now. They need to do some CPD and keep up to date!

Dear @NHSEngland Diabetes is essentially the inability to manage glucose. Please can you justify your harmful advice to base meals on starch/glucose or ditch it? zoeharcombe.com/2023/04/pre-…

The Freshwell Low Carb Programme has gone digital! We have QISMET accreditation so that every patient in England with T2 diabetes, regardless of their postcode can gain access to low carb education! And GPs will gain QOF points for their referral. It’s a Win Win-spread the word!

Proud to say that the Freshwell Low Carb Programme has been accredited by QISMET! Ever moving closer to getting the message of real food out there. And such lovely feedback too ☺️. It’s Onwards and Upwards for 2023 - next step, two new meal planners! @LoCarbFreshwell
