The Fat Lady Slims provides education on low-carb and ketogenic diets - mostly in the form of flash-card-like questions which can be
- browsed on this website
- seen on the Facebook page
- seen on the iphone app (currently 5 levels - over 50 questions)
- delivered twice per week by email (coming soon)
- hard-copy flash-cards (coming soon)
- some of the questions will be available as posters and hand-outs(coming soon)
Please sign up for the mailing list (or 'Like' the Facebook page) if you would like to be updated on when the full set of questions (and apps) are ready.
Some of the questions are basic ("Name some common foods very high in fat") and have been easy to write and reference - and some are more controversial ("Is eating a high fat diet bad for you?") and I have tried to provide as many references as possible to back up the answers.
There are currently around 200 questions in total - but it takes a long time to fact-check all the information and provide links to relevant studies, find or design appropriate images and get the wording just right (easy to understand but still technically correct).
Click on the thumbnails of the questions to go to that question page.
Donations to help fund the image creation and other costs are much appreciated.
Fact corrections, suggestions for better wording, or links to more relevant papers are much appreciated - please use the contact page - or comment on Facebook - I may not be able to reply to everyone in person - but I will read them all.
