Please could you organise a webchat with Dr John Briffa?

He is a great advocate of low carbing - and given how many of us are now signed up to my Bootcamp (around 80 signed up to start with!), he would be fantastic guest.

Did you know that as of Friday, those of us who are Bootcamping lost a total of 341lbs?! That's enough to make almost another three MNetters!

Dr Briffa has written several books, the latest of which Escape the Diet Trap is brilliant in terms of explaining why calorie counting doesn't work and why fat is good for you - completely over-turning the dietary advice the government has been so keen to foist on us over the last 30 years.

Please?

Yes, yes, yes please! His advice is smart, sensible and rooted in Proper Science - but it's still controversial. Perfect for a webchat!

Brilliant idea for a webchat guest.

I hope MNHQ can arrange it.

Fab guest suggestion BIWI.

letticepetticoat · 01/05/2012 14:15

I have been loitering on BIWI's low carb threads since Feb and have lost almost two stone on this woe.I agree that John Briffa would be a great guest-have read a couple of his books and they are so informative! I'd also like to say thanks so much to Biwi for all her input!
