[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 289498, member: 31282"] I've just copied below my earlier post on the other version of this thread: I would just remark that the "typical" Atkins diet plan as listed above (in the Daily Mail article) is for the Atkins Induction Stage, which he recommends for the first 2 weeks - though I have stayed on it much longer with no bad effects so far! After completing Induction on the Weight Loss Programme, you start adding in 5g carb per week until you stop losing weight. Then you drop your carbs back a bit, either to keep losing weight, or to find the level that keeps your weight stable if you've reached your target. As you increase the carbs so you gradually decrease the fat - this is stated quite clearly in the original book. I can find the page number if you want. Remember, this is a weight loss diet - he too was surprised when he noted the effects on cholesterol and BGs. If your Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, lowering carbs = lowering weight = less insulin resistance = better controlled diabetes. Once you've lost the weight, you can add healthy carbs back in to your diet if you want, keeping a careful eye on your blood glucose levels. Raising my risk of stroke or heart attack by 5 in 10,000 doesn't particularly worry me. Has anyone worked out the protein/fat/carb constituents of Dr Richard Bernstein's diet? He's stayed alive on it for quite a long time now. Viv [/QUOTE]
