I'm on an Atkins' diet list, and several people report that they are diabetics who no longer need to worry about symptoms nor take medication.

The medical world doesn't admit that diabetes can be cured, but it does appear that a significant alteration in the progress of the disease is possible.

Atkins, by the way doesn't consist of perpetual slabs of fried meat and eggs, not when done by the book. There has to be a lot of fresh vegetation, and I do mean a lot, and I do mean fresh.

Losing 12 inches off my waist is what brought me to making and wearing kilts. as I simply could not keep up with the replacement of clothing with more permanent shaping and sizing built in.

I have a friend of mine that reversed her diabetes by becoming a vegetarian after much research. I like meat though! So I thought your atkins diet was the opposite, but your statement about alot of fresh vegies confirmed my suspicion! Keep it up!

Ladies and Gents:

I could be all wet about this . . . but so far it's been working for me. I've switched over, in the last year, to a "paleo/primal" diet, and have lost about forty pounds so far. I know that this is just an anecdote, and that even the plural of anecdote is not "data."

Check out Mark's Daily Apple (unsurprisingly, www.marksdailyapple.com). The principles are surprisingly simple: eat real food. Avoid vegetable oils. Avoid processed foods. Eat grass fed, hormone and antibiotic free meats.

I'm a big fan of Mark Sisson, check his website every day, got his book, try to live in compliance with the precepts.

Sometimes I'll ask doctors if doctors a hundred years ago understood the human body and how to treat it. They always say no. Then I ask them if they understand the human body and how to treat it. They always say yes. Then I ask them if doctors a hundred years from now will think that today's doctors understand the human body and how to treat it. Then they get mad at me.

My mother was taught in high school that the atom was the smallest particle known to man, and it was by definition indivisible. Dr. Ancel Keys' lipid hypothesis may prove to be just as valid as what my Mom was taught.

I mean no offense. I could be wrong. I could be poisoning myself. There is a ton of literature out there, and I think it's working for me. Eat real food. Wear your kilt. Play. Sleep. We rose to become the apex predators in a very dangerous world. In my lifetime, we just keep on getting sicker, and fatter, and unhealthier. I could be wrong about all of this.

Let a thousand flowers bloom!

my wife and I have been looking into a sort of paleo diet. Trying to stick with grass fed meat and cut out the refined grains.

I have to agree... Basically unprocessed food is the key.
I had a gastric bypass so my diet has been forced.. Forgo the white foods... Sugar, rice, potatos, flour, ect. And eat more of a natural diet.. And it truely works .. My diabetes is under control by diet, my cholesteral is where it should be, as well as my blood pressure. I have become lactose intolerant, and unable to eat fried or sweet foods. I guess you do not miss it if you can replace it...

And now back to our original posters thread.....

There is an excellent book by Dr. D'Adamo that explains why some people should be meat eaters and other vegetarians. Eat Right For Your Type. My friend 'cured' his Irritable Bowel Syndrome following the advice in the book. IBS never really goes away, you just avoid the causes of flair ups. I have followed the book though not consistenlty and feel much better when I do.
