Hi Homeseeker! Thanks for the info. on the book, I'll try to find a copy. I now am the proud owner of Dr. Atkin's book. and have officially started induction this morning.
As for ADA....hmmmm...well don't get me started. My first clue was in their ridiculous diet. They were recommending way too many carbs per meal for me. I could tell just from testing my own blood glucose, that was never going to work. My very first reaction, to be quite honest, was a feeling of hopelessness. I was stupid enough to think if the ADA couldn't help me, I was in sad shape.
The more I have researched and read, I have come to some pretty serious conclusions. If you have diabetes, the last place you need to turn for help is the ADA, if you want to live, that is. I have nothing good to say about them.

What I'd love to see is dietitions & nutritionists, letting go of the ADA propoganda & really helping educate folks to a healthy way of eating. They just can't blame it on lack of documented evidence & reasearch. For crying out loud, if I have been able to find so much in such a short amount of time...they can too.
I've had my wake up call. Kinda wish I had gotten it sooner....lol
