Do you know if diabetics loose slower than people without diabetes?
Hi Carole,
I lost 100 pounds in ten months. Read the book, refer to it often. Work the plan 100% and you'll get 100% results. I chose food from each rung lowest on the GI (glycemic index). I didn't eat fruit for a year. so I skipped rungs 4&7. I don't drink alcohol, so I skipped rung 5. I stayed right around Rung 3 for the first year, just to stablize my glucose levels. I didn't eat onions because of the GI, I chose to eat leaks and I didn't eat tomatoes either. Dr. Atkins discusses the GI on pages 78-84, 92 and the GL (glycemic load) on pages 83-84 DANDR 2002. Keeping your glucose levels steady without spikes or dives is essential for weightloss. That's what makes Atkins an excellent woe for Diabetics. For anyone as far as that goes.
Wishing you great success.
Sincerely, Sherri
