Welcome to the group!! I am a diabetic too and have also been put on the diet

by my Dr. I have been on it since the end May and have done great!! I was

diagnosed with diabetes in 96 and since had gotten preg and was put on

injections 2 times a day. after the baby I was kinda on a little honeymoon

period, thats what my Dr called it, My sugars were great for about 6 months.

then all of a suddan they started going up and he put me on this diet. Since

then I am off all meds and have consistant sugars of 80-110. I only have to

lose 32 more pounds to reach my goal, so your sugar might not come down as

fast as mine, but it will and you will feel wonderful!!

Good Luck

Hugs,

Penny

Hi. My name is and I am on Day 4 of the Induction Diet. I am a

diabetic and have over 100 lb to get rid of. This plan is totally

opposite what I have been taught in the past and that is why I need lots

of support. I am reading the book and it all makes sense to me. My

endocrinologist suggested this diet because she has had so much success

with her other diabetic patients and has been on it herself.

Thanks to all for your kind welcome! I can't wait to get going on this

thing!

About 11 years ago I lost 55 lbs in 9 weeks doing Diet Centers. It was sort

of a modified low-carb diet and it was really successful for me. The problem

is, Diet Centers is a difficult way of life as you are really limited to the

types of proteins you can eat. It seems to me that Atkins is much more

adaptable to normal living. After loosing 55 lbs, I kept it all off for 5

years. Then life got in the way and I gained it back at 5-7 lbs a year. Now

I am here....

Are there any Low-Carb Masters out there who have been doing this for a

while??

Hi Sue,

I am amazed by your success (310/264!!!). have you done it all on Atkins?

How long has it taken? How tall are you? It is successes like this that

help get me motivated, and I hear about them all the time with Atkins.

I'll bet Wilmington is a beautiful area....

Gail, I was tired and could sleep 12 hours and still be tired. My mom had

thyroid problems and so I thought at 39, maybe I did also. They did a

blood test and my sugars were 270. The Dr. called me in for another

(fasting) test and it was 217, so naturally they wanted to see me and take

care of this diabetes. My Dr. recommended this diet for me and also said

if I got my weight down, I might be able to be classed as non-diabetic on

the insurance records. So that is my goal. I feel much better since I was

diagnosed and am on the right tract with my weight loss.

Hi Shadcat

Thank you for the welcome. I had a good day today. I've been trying recipes

from the Protein Power book and the Low Carb Cookbook by Fran McCullough and

today I found one I love. I made the Summer Squash recipe (I have tons of

squash and basil in my garden) and added some grilled chicken and 5 Brothers

sauce and it was delicious. I think I'll be using all my squash this year.

Wishing you the best,

Bev

Hello, Sue!

Most people do not want to hear this but I am not following this WOL to lose

weight. I simply like the way I feel and the way my body is shaping up while

eating this way. I am 40 years old and am very physically active. I was eating

the high carb-low fat way for YEARS and though I was not overweight, my body was

NOT what I wanted it to be even with alot of walking/weight training. This WOE

really seems to be changing that although it is VERY hard to get used to the

idea of eating alot of fat. I AM attempting to get my husband to follow this

diet as he has about 40+ lbs to lose and am having a SMALL amount of luck but

still having to work on him. I love to read the tips and hints about different

products and snacks and especially the recipies - need more vegetable recipies

(they are hard to come by) and well as sweets. I am part of another list and

have had trouble posting to that list. I have replied two different times to

certain subjects and neither of my posts have shown up. I guess that i am doing

it wrong. Hope this will get to you.
