Since I was literally dying, I started Atkins as my last resort one year ago. Today I have lost 80 lbs, and no longer take Insulin or any Diabetes medications.
So, whatever these people say, mean nothing to me because I KNOW they are totally wrong.

I totally agree with SadLady, while following the goverment recommened low-fat regime, I ended up heavier, on two cholesterol drugs and one insulin sensitivity improvement drug. After my doctor saw the light and switched me over to Atkins, I lost 45 lbs, and quit taking all the drugs and have better blood sugar and cholesterol levels. I also feel much better with more energy. |
