I started reading this book with the hope that it might help me to choose which carbs could be added back into my Atkins Maintenance phase. I haven't gotten very far, but so far I'm unhappy with the way the book is written.

Mostly, its written with the tone that implies it was a bunch of flaming idiots who came up with these other diets. Even though the information they're providing may be correct and useful, I find that a big turnoff in trying to slog through their book.

Has anyone else used this information successfully? Or is anyone using this diet that can share their results? I recall seeing that the breakfast cereal Wheaties has an acceptably low GI for example, but I can't bring myself to eat it because the number of carbs just seems so high. There are other foods with what I now consider "high" carbs that have low GI's. Are these "safe" to eat or will they lead to cravings? Or, should I just experiment with the different foods and see if they cause any issues for me personally?
