[Diabetes-talk] Recently DXED Pre-Diabetic

Fri Sep 13 05:03:39 UTC 2013

I don't mean that diets like Atkins are not still popular among the
masses, but I mean that more in the medical community debate the
intelligence of following such a diet or only eating meat period. I know
many people doing no-carb diets, but all the doctors I know are not as
likely to recommend a no-carb diet.

I disagree with your analysis. That's okay.
If Atkins is so horrific, how come there are still Inuit? Actualy, I
prefer South Beach but do not consider Atkins harmful. Mike
