Ok as a diabetic being monotered by my doc on Atkins I must really protest. Yes too much of anything is bad for you. I have to go slower on the program as the meds i am on slow the diet down. The first two weeks are the toughest and then it's not NO carbs just low.
If you read the whole book your self you realize it makes Perfect sense!!!
The problem is just as any diet people do not check with doctors and do it with out approvel. I have also heard many horroir stories on them. I have tried every thing under the sun and this is the thing working for me . My sugars have not only stabizled and I am getting rid of some of my meds down to 4 not 6 different ones a day. Most doctoers and cererl companies don't want you to doit couse then they lose money becouse of falling sales and healthier people don't need to see them as much.
