ATKINS. I've been on >10 grams of carbs per day for 3 weeks and have lost 24 pounds. I'm a Type 2 diabetic, and was taking 2000 mg of Glucophage per day. By day 5 of Atkins, I was able to stop taking the Gluc - with my doctors blessing. My blood and u tests all came back normal. I still monitor my blood 3 times a day and I haven't had a reading over 123 (2 hours after eating). When diagnosed 2 years ago, my fasting blood glucose was 444, I was sick as hell.
I was really tired the second and third day, but since day 4 I have more energy than I had before. I also get up now at 5 am to put in a half hour at the local rec center. Get the newest Atkins book (2002) and read it cover to cover. My doctor didn't dispute a word of it, he told me to keep up the good work and come back in 6 months.
Good Luck!
