Thanks, Rick Jones, for letting me know what you thought of his book. Did it help you do Atkins?
As far as sugar alcohols go, some get along well with me and don't make me hungry (which is how I gauge if my body is spiking insulin or not) and some have ...err...other effects, well documented elsewhere.
One thing that makes me so pro-Atkins is that Dr. Atkins could have written his book about me. Everything he said would happen did happen.

I do realize everyone is different, though.
