how I'm doing

Hi folks

just thought I'd let you know I have now been three weeks on what I class as
Low Carb. I am not following any particular book, just going by my blood
sugars.

I have found by frequent testing, that if I eat less than 20g carb per meal,
I am permanently under 9bg. I am trying to get even better control but so
far my health advisors are happy that I am not "doing Atkins" and I am happy
they are no longer criticising everything I do. I may even change a few
local medical minds.

I wouldn't count on changin any MD minds...... not by a long shot.

CHANGING MINDS...... book by Howard Gardner....

Book Description
Insights into One of the Greatest Mysteries of Human Behavior

Minds are exceedingly hard to change. Ask any advertiser who has tried
to convince consumers to switch brands, any CEO who has tried to change
a company’s culture, or any individual who has tried to heal a rift with
a friend. So many aspects of life are oriented toward changing minds—yet
this phenomenon is among the least understood of familiar human experiences.

Now, eminent Harvard psychologist Howard Gardner, whose work has
revolutionized our beliefs about intelligence, creativity, and
leadership, offers an original framework for understanding exactly what
happens during the course of changing a mind—and how to influence that
process.

You won't learn a "Formula" for changing minds of yourelf or others. It
isn't that simple a thing to do.
