[QUOTE="ringi, post: 1608803, member: 410240"] [B]Given you have done the Atkins diet before and got on well with it,[/B] why not as a first step do it again. If you no longer have the book you used, "A New Atkins For a New You" is one of the best modern versions of it. Choosing something you know is of great benefit. Personly I am a great believer in having your own blood glucose (BG) meter, and check your BG levels before and 2hrs after each meal. Doing so for may result in you never eating cereals for breakfast again... Once you have learned how your BG respond to different meals, you can do much less testing. Think of your BG meter as a tool for [B]learning [/B]what foods your body can cope with. When doing the Atkins diet, instead of trying to find your "Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing Weight" use your BG meter to find the level of carbs where you BG never increases by more than 2 due to you eating a meal. You may need to keep on the "induction phase" for longer than is normal, so as to get your post-meal BG under control before moving on to "phase 2". Diet is key, exercise has much less effect. However, 10 minutes walk after eating has been proved to have benefit in reducing BG levels. [/QUOTE]
