Karen... thanks for the link. I will pass it along. Drs. floor me sometimes with their wealth of knowledge... or not.

The really funny thing is that in the same breath that her doctor told her Atkins likely caused her IR, she also put her on a lower carb eating plan similar to OWL to control it. Go figure.

I found some other great links to give her on the subject and to be fair, I tried as hard as I could to find a site with a legitimate (even reasonable sounding) theory as to how Atkins could have ruined her metabolism or caused IR. There just isn't one out there.

Interesting huh??
