Has anyone done this?
I'm thinking of doing it again. Why I don't do it more who knows. I feel better for sure. This is probably not the plan for those who thrive on Atkins but for those of us who get miserably sick on Atkins or don't like it or can't afford it this seems to work well. Scientific folks say that this eating plan leads to lower rises in blood sugar and fewer plunges into low blood sugar and the major hungry munchies. They also say it is helpful for both diabetics and hypoglycemics and provides more physical endurance. I just know for me it works. Charles says it's complicated but to me it is simple especially after reading The Good Calorie Diet. There are no calorie restrictions and one can eat till it comes out one's ears as long as it is in balance. Tho for me I felt satisfied and so didn't seem to want as much. There is no deprivartion because you can have anything you want as long as you balance it with low glycemic stuff so glycemic balance totals out right. Strangely enough for me anythow what I wanted changed tho. DQ Blizzards became less interesting than oranges.
