People seem to be certain types in this, so you don’t have to test every food to have an idea how it will affect you. It isn’t just about calories. Excess glucose which isn’t required for activity gets stored as fat, yes. So our relative requirement for glucose/energy is a factor in how fat we...

Magnesium craving? They are a high calorie food so you might be craving energy! I’ve sometimes eaten a load of nuts but I assumed it was a salt thing (also potsie).

@Sasha BTW I like the idea of discussing research in a tone that would encourage the actual researcher to join in. I don’t mean we should be insincerely sycophantic, criticism is fine, but writing hoping that they will get involved in the discussion is probably the way to keep a good tone to it.

I’ve now watched the TEDX talk @Sasha shared. It just seems to be a TEDtalk style of dissemination, not unusually marketing speak (everyone who does a TED talk is effectively marketing their big idea). They also did this animation. It won’t impress academics but it provides a simplified...

But their previous research indicates individual variations in blood glucose response to the same foods, which perhaps indicates that some diets would be more effective for losing weight/health than others at an individual level. Higher blood glucose signals to the pancreas to produce more...

Starting to get to the topic of this thread (rather than my previous impressions from reading their big study and doing my home version). I’m excited that this team is now looking at ME :) When I came across it last year it was on a mainstream BBC programme. It had nothing to do with ME. I...

All internet surveys which are widely publicised will have this potential flaw. It relies on people being honest that they are in the targeted group. Most people will be. An alternative strategy could be to not publicise and target relevant hospitals and universities (eg internal email rather...

Survey Monkey can be used for research, it’s just the platform. The quality of the questionnaire will be down to its design.

I’m still feeling queasy trying to read so haven’t read this thread properly or listened to that specific talk. I did read the research in a brainfog free window last year. This is more how I interpreted it (but their theory locates the difference in the microbiome, though you can then alter...

I realise I could answer that question by retesting though don’t feel up to it for the foreseeable.

@Sasha still too bad to concentrate I’m afraid. The key thing that came across is individual differences in response to the same foods. This did apply to me and my partner when we tried it at home. Unfortunately we’re not the same type :disappointed: I was able to correct high glucose by...

I’m too migrainey to read coherently right now but I wrote about the Israeli research last year, and my home version, keep meaning to write a follow up post. I’ve stuck with the diet changes. See https://tipsforme.wordpress.com/2016/02/16/resource-home-hacking-blood-glucose/

Don’t think I should be online right now I read ‘now and onwards’ as a type of event :rofl: Is there no Invest in ME conference this year or am I also confused about which year we’re in?
