Hi,
I have been on the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet for about 4 1/2 months. I have been on so many diets that I have lost count. However, for the past 10 years I had given up and quit worrying about my weight. But last may, I began having symptoms of diabetes. I knew I was at risk for this, especially since my mom has it.
My doctor put me on glucophage to control my blood sugar. I didn't like taking the medication so I started looking for a way to get my blood sugar under control with diet. The CAD kept popping up on TV. I bought the book and began the diet on June 26, 2001.
The results have been wonderful. My blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol are once again normal. No medications required. The best part is that I do not have the cravings that I once had. I plan on staying on this for life.
I am glad I found this forum. I had looked for something like this but was not able to find it until now. Talking with others who are at the same place as I am is great.
