Today I went to a new foot doctor, as I'm diabetic and am having some problems with one foot particularly. He seems to be really good.

Anyway, after he'd looked at my foot and explained what was going on etc, he sort of rolled back in his chair and started to talk about 'diet'. I was thinking, "Oh boy, here comes the 'Food Pyramid' lecture.

What a shock! He said he'd been to Weight Watchers and that didn't work, and now he was doing ATKINS!!!! I realized he was actually RECOMMENDING Atkins to his patients!

I told him I was on it too. He's not really overweight (in my way of looking at things), but he said he'd lost 15 pounds and had a few more to go, also that he too was diabetic, and didn't have to take diabetic meds anymore.

Well, it sure was a relief to hear all this, plus he encouraged me to confront my regular doctor about the benifits of Low Carbing...

Amazing.....
