Hi All,
I'm new here, and I must say it's great to find such a wealth of information.
However, reading through this forum does give the impression that there is still some debate regarding NSD/LSD, so I'd like to try and clarify the some of the points I've picked up in these threads.
So, how accurate a reflection of the situation are the following statements:
1. The scientific basis for the NSD/LSD diet consists only of the research carried out by Dr. Erbinger.
2. Dr. Erbinger's research has not been subject to the widely accepted scientific process of peer review.
3. There are a large number of people who assert that NSD/LSD has been effective for them.
4. For some of those people a very strict zero starch policy is the only thing that works.
5. For some, merely reducing the amount of starch can help.
6. There is some suggestion that avoiding dairy is also helpful in some cases.
I would be grateful for a point by point discussion, and I suspect that others would find this helpful too.
Could I ask that we keep this thread strictly fact based - there is plenty of opportunity for opinion elsewhere on this forum.
