Diabetes Diet Guidelines : Diabetes & the Food Pyramid

Dr. Atkins Diabetes Revolution- Does anyone here use it to treat their diabetes? (no put downs,need real info)

My dr. oked for me to use the Dr. Atkins Diabetes Revolution diet to loose weight and control my diabetes. She said she’s used it successfully in her cardiac patients to loose weight quickly when they were due for surgery soon. She’s been pleased with the results.

I was wondering if anyone here uses his diet. I was curious as to anyone else’s experiences, comments, or info.

Also, how does it differ from the regular Dr. Atkins diet?

Thanks.
The Diabetes Association won’t be interested in Atkins, but to me it’s the most logical way to control diabetes. And even dr. Atkins says NOT to go overboard on fats. I have read the first book and could about recite it to you, I was just wondering about the Diabetes book as I’ve not totally read that one yet.

If you’ve really read the Atkins book, then you know that the body makes it’s own cholesterol, it’s not gotten fully from the fats we eat. And I rarely use fats anyways, so no problem there.

There is very little difference between the Atkins diet and the Atkins Diabetes diet.

The whole idea is to cut out sugars, alcohol and carbohydrates. Carbs and alcohol are turned into sugar and stored as body fat if it’s not used.

If you don’t take those things in then the body will have a reduced amount of sugar in the blood. Also the body will start to use the sugars (carbs) stored as fat, allowing you to lose weight.

I am diabetic and a little overweight still, but losing nicely. Not only have I been able to quit taking glucofage (diabetes medicine) but my total cholesterol has dropped dramatically!
