Hi Graham!

If your friend isn't interested or in need of weight loss, then perhaps Atkins isn't quite the plan he needs, especially induction levels. He might be better off with another plan such as Protein Power, The Schwarzbein Principle or Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution. I'd recommend the last one myself, but that's the plan I've been following as a diabetic and it has worked wonders for me. I was able to get off my medication for blood sugar quite quickly and can now keep my blood sugars in the normal range at all times with diet alone.
