Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Good luck with your first 2 weeks!!! And, yes, the Good Carbs, Good Fats book is *very* good. It is a must-have! Tomorrow is my Day! I went grocery shopping this evening and I am prettymuch all prepared to start the next two weeks. Theonly thing I need to do is go to the Farmer's Marketfor fresh veggies, which I will do tomorrow morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hi Kel, I am a type2 diabetic also. I've been following SBD since Feb. and my A1C was so low that the doctor has lowered my meds. It works great for high cholesterol too. in Atlanta ----- Original Message ----- From: Kel Also, I am wondering how this is for diabetics, anyone out there that is a type 2 diabetic? How is it working with this diet, thanks...Kel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 I’ve found the good carbs book useless. Fun to look through but really nothing new in there for me. If you can afford it (and Amazon had the best price I could find… if you include it with something else to get to $25 and free shipping), I’d suggest the cookbook. It was my reward for getting through phase 1 and 2 weeks of phase 2… new recipes! Good luck! – whose DH likes laughing cow light cheese and who can never, ever, ever find it!! Though I borrowed (and read) the book from a co-worker I went to Border's and bought the book for myself. My reward for myself for getting through the first 2 weeks will be the " Good Carbs, Bad Carbs " book. Does anyone have that and find it useful? The fact that the hardest part is only the first two weeks should help me along. After two weeks my choices more than double. That should keep me going. Anyway... talk to you all later. ..
