Dr. Bernstein's Diabetic Solution - Carb Counting

Hi Russ, You seem to have posted the same question in most of the forum topics. I did reply the first time you raised the question on Sunday, but here's a copy in case you missed it.

The Bernstein diet is not quite as low on carbs as Atkins, but not far behind it. I personally find Dr Bernstein's recommended carb levels a bit too low for me, so I tend to follow principles (and occasionally some of the recipes) but will add something that will give a small amount of extra carb, for example I will add a two or three small new potatoes to one of the recommended main courses. Or along with bacon and eggs I will have a single slice of wholemeal or linseed bread.

Dr B recommends around 30g carb per day, around a sixth of what the US govt recommends. I find that for me around 80 to 100g carbs per day gives me good control. As a type 2 I can't adjust my meds to accommodate the food, so I adjust the food to match the meds! But as has been pointed out many times, we are all different so what works for me may not be sight for someone else.
