Welcome Mrs C!

I read a biography about Dr. Atkins and he loved reading current research. He didn't invent that our bodies run better without carbs but he put it all together. I saw a movie of him going to talk at medical schools and all the students would sit eating donuts during his talk. He had a hard time while in college at Cornell because people were anti-semitic. I think maybe that's where he developed the character to never let the nay sayers stop him.

I'm super passionate that Joseph Lister and Robert Atkins should have been awarded Nobel prizes!

I work in research and develped diabetes at the age of 32, my drs gave me the ADA handouts that said to eat 100s of carbs, no caffeine and walk everyday. Luckily some of the pHDs I worked with gave me research papers that showed not eating carbs was what worked. That's what I did and the diabetes went away.

I just want to encourage you that science is in no way wrong with this foodplan and wish you the best!
