I have had maturity on-set diabeties since 1974, though it wasn't invented until about 1996. The only time I've had my blood sugars in good range, and lost weight, was when I did Atkins. Then I deceived myself into diabeties denial, gained it all back, and am now back on lc. I once followed a physician's order for a hc, low protein, low fat diet and ended up gaining 40 pounds in about a month, despite 2 hours a day at the gym.

Read Bernstein and trust it. It has worked for me and he makes immense sense.
