The interest keeps growing. Once again the blog traffic to DietDoctor.com (and the Swedish version) is too large for our current server. We’re planning a move to a larger one (monthly traffic of up to 10TB). That should be enough for a while.
The switch will take place soon and at that time the site may be down temporarily.

That is silly as that study doesn't test anything similar to LCHF at all. And it's just an observational study.
As usual observational data can not prove cause and effect. Also there are plenty of such studies showing increasing prevalence of diabetes correlated to higher intakes of carbs.
More interestingly much more reliable studies (intervention trials) and loads of experience (including my patients) consistently show improved diabetes with low carb diets.
Diabetics who follow the advice to adhere to a low fat diet are told to keep increasing their insulin dose to compensate for the additional carbohydrates. In other words, they're being told to follow a diet that makes them sicker and sicker and then to increase their medication as their symptoms get worse. That sounds like "crazy" to me.
First of all, your images seem to be very high-quality jpg. When I visited your page today, my browser had to download 2 megabytes of jpg files. Don't get me wrong, using a lot of graphics makes a blog more interesting and easier on the eyes. But most folks won't notice the difference if you convert your images to low-quality jpg before posting. And I estimate that would reduce your page's total bytecount by 75% or more.
Secondly, I think having 10 posts per page (before the user has to click older-posts) is excessive. Most blogs I visit are around 5, especially if there's a lot of graphics.
Also demonstrates how much a doctor can do in helping people to deal with this obesity epidemic. People want medical advice they can trust that gets results. I've been reading various lowcarb/paleo/primal/keto sites for years, and any time a doctor gets on board the site explodes with people wanting to read his/her recommendations.
Thanks for the tips! They are worth considering. However, I'd rather pay extra for bandwidth then use low quality pictures or small pages. At least as long as it does not make the page too slow for people browsing on their phones etc.
I guess you could say that I'm a quality geek.

It's like the whole meat uproar a few weeks ago - but at least that study was from Harvard, flawed as it was. Maybe it's the translation, but isn't a "doctoral paper" a PhD thesis?
