It must be true if you read it in the Daily Mail!! Next week they'll print something completely different on the same subject.

It's actually been a theory for several years that low-carb diets can relegate insulin levels, it was a particularly popular theory in the 80s. The more current consensus amongst nutritionists seems to be favouring a low gi diet for diabetics as its more maintainable.

I am a diabetic and have posted this article because Atkins has given me such tight control over my blood sugar levels. I am on the lowest amount of insulin I have ever been on and I feel great. If it can also help to reduce the type two epidemic then I am all in favour!

Thanks for sharing and congrats on your success!

If you actually read the Atkins book, or more recently Why We Get Fat by Gary Taubes, they both explain how it works very well.

perhaps we get fat is because we eat too much processed foods, high in calories low in nutrition. Along with not enough exercise.
