[QUOTE="Salvia, post: 1638906, member: 278312"] I think I'm a bit luke-warm about the report. It is good that some message is getting out that type 2 can be better controlled and is not necessarily a progressive disease - that has to be a hopeful sign. What bothers me a little is that if this type of calorie controlled diet becomes the treatment of choice (I know, I know, a long way off, but even so) - then I feel sad for anyone who becomes type 2 in the future. They will be condemned to semi-starvation for anything up to a year (and it will be their fault if it doesn't work) when all they really need to do is reduce or lose the carbs and enjoying fulfilling and satisfying meals for the rest of their lives. I have never tried either SW or WW, but don't they use calorie restriction - and how many folks are reported to succeed initially, only to end up re-gaining weight. Part of our mission is to spread ther word that low carb, healthy fat is not a "diet" (because for many people that word no longer means what it did originally), but is a way of life. [/QUOTE]
