You don't have to eat many carbs to eat chocolate. Try a ZCarb bar. I aim
for about 45 gram of carb/day and a ZCarb bar fits into that quite nicely.
You clearly don't understand Atkins from the statements you make. It is
absolutely not NO carb.

| Done your homework on diabetes? Its a far more complex problem than
| just dropping carbs.
|
| Atkins is an extreme. There are more approaches to life than just the
| extremes. And if you believe that extremes are the only way to
| approach all problems, then you do not have an appreciation of those
| problems. It may work for you but it is not the solution to
| everybodys problems.
|
| A reduced or low carb diet seems to work for diabetics wheras there
| is a theory that no carb and atkins can cause the tolerance for carbs
| to fall even lower meaning that any intake of carbs can shoot through
| the roof. If this is correct, then aktins could make diabetes
| worse. From my experience it seems to happen in the short term.
|
| Nice of you to suggest that if someone wants to avoid the risk of
| making a chronic condition worse, then they are stupid.
|
| Diabetics who wish to retain control and prevent complications are
| forced to be careful with carbs and generally reduce their intake. It
| is not a choice. There are those of us who wish to retain the use of
| some foods in such quantities managed so that they do not cause
| problems. Give up chocolate for life? No thanks. But I know exactly
| what choc I can eat and how much, when in order to remain nicely
| within my personal safe limit.
|
| Finally, I don't see Kat claiming that Atkins is a bad thing. He/She
| specified that they were a firm believer in a low carb diet with the
| implication that it was for their specific circumstances. The only
| thing that they DID say about atkins was that they were not a firm
| believer in it. They did not say that they were against it at all.
| That's an entirely different thing. Its like confusing agnostics and
| atheists. A lack of belief in something is not the same as a belief
| against something.
