The ADA has finally admitted that low-carb diets are a good way to lose weight. Read Jimmy Moore's blog entry on low-carb and diabetes. And don't miss Why the Low-fat Diet is Stupid and Potentially Dangerous by Regina Wilshire and Anthony Colpo.
Years ago I ate very low-fat for four months (and only lost 4 pounds). When I wound up in a doctor's office suffering from low-energy, he ordered a blood test and the results showed that I needed more protein. Not long after that, I started having more and more digestive problems and reactions to specific foods. So I can relate to Colpo's experience that after following a strict low-fat diet he "frequently felt tired after meals. I showed signs of leaky gut syndrome, racking up a rather impressive list of irreversible food sensitivities."
Meanwhile, my husband has been to his doctor for diabetes and gotten a prescription. We hope that this will keep his blood sugar from rising to an alarming level again (which it did on Thursday).
