[QUOTE="LindsayJane, post: 2082917, member: 500039"] I did pay the subscription. The education part is interesting but TBH, I have found it to be a confirmation of what I'd already learned rather than anything new. It's frustrating that you're not allowed to see it all in one day and have to wait a week before the next video. The snippets from Jason Fung have been good but again, having bought and read his book 'The Diabetes Code', they didn't really teach me anything new. It's good if you want to keep a track of your progress - BG readings, weight, medication, blood pressure, HbA1c.... but I find keeping track on excel is probably better for me. This is because excel enables me to keep a diet diary alongside my BG readings so that I can immediately identify any food which causes a spike. The meal planner on the program is useful though and I have used it often. I need all the help I can get to make my daily grub interesting! Be warned though, some of the recipes are not that low carb (I keep my carbs to around 20g a day and some of their meals are way above that!). There is a forum, but this one is better. The program allows you to make a daily diet diary but I have found this to be slow and some of the nutritional information contradictory - there is no function for users to add foods not found on the database, which is frustrating, but they say they are working on it. Each week it gives you a lot of recipes to choose from and you can print these out if you are able. In summary: if you are a complete beginner and have not been able to do any research, the educational videos will guide you through the process of starting and maintaining a low carb way of eating. It will give you access to recipes which will enable you to eat low carb without becoming bored of your 'restricted' diet. It will enable you to keep a track on your progress and set goals for yourself. But it is expensive and you can probably find everything (apart from the videos) on free sites such as myfitnesspal.com and dietdoctor.com. As stated above, there is loads of information out there which does not need to be paid for but the low carb program can offer you a level of support, once you are a member.

No. For me, it's been worth it for the meal planner and recipe section alone and I do look forward to the weekly videos. It is a comprehensive learning system and as such it is very useful.
