  1. Low carbohydrate diets were first introduced before 1880. And the
    entire profession of medicine has been assigning people to low
    carbohydrate diets for decades--Pssst! it's what every diabetic eats.
    The only fad is what your short attention span is willing to read in
    the sound bite your six o'clock news presented you with today.

    And in today's news "the low carb fad is over?", we'll be right back
    with that after these paid announcements.

    I hate to tell you this, but the Atkins / low carb fad is over. It
    reached it's peak in early 2004 and began dying shortly after.
    IT'S NOW OVER......

    Let me repeat, so this is very clear.

    THE ATKINS / LOW CARB DIET FAD IS OVER

    You can go back to eating normal food again.
    Please dispose of you Atkins books. They are no longer useful.

    Anyone who continues to do any form of Atkins and/or Low Carb diet
    after the end of 2004 is outdated, obsolete, and will be looked upon
    as a relic, a has-been, and/or a fool.

    Please be aware, a new diet plan will be available shortly after the
    start of the new year. This will require you to purchase new books
    and will eliminate an entirely different food group giving you another
    challenge, and another health risk to encounter. Start saving your
    money now, so you are prepared to purchase all the necessary items for
    this new diet plan,while the excitement grows. In the meantime, enjoy
    the break between diet plans during which time you are encouraged to
    eat anything and everything you want, and put on huge amounts of
    weight in order to regain your strength before you are once again
    stress your metabolism into another shock method to test your
    willpower and challenge your body to see if it survives.

    When I began diabetic at age 23 (I'm 46 now) they did not recommend I eat a
    LC diet. The one they did recommend diet was deadly (IMO). Just FYI.

    Unfortunately, you are correct...

    I've seen the diets at work (high carb, low fat frequent meals) and seen
    the resulting high glucose levels that are then treated with higher
    doses of insulin...

    It sux.

    Whenever my mother has been in the hospital, her blood sugar has gone
    way up and necessitated them giving her insulin shots.

    I would tend to agree. I eat less sugars than insulin dependant
    diabetics who are suffering from serious problems (loss of vision, leg
    problems). But their diets are lower carb, people jsut don't equate
    dangerous, crazy low carb with the same logic that has been "safely"
    prescribed to diabetics.

    Thanks for confirming the point. ;-)

    High starch and sugar. They serve them fruits and sandwiches with white
    bread...

    WTF is up with that anyway???
