thanks , of course i never thought to go out and buy a book. I started on youtube where i came across a doctor who treats obese patients who often have diabetes 2 which is my problem. her name is susan hallberg and she gives a 20 minute ted talk . Until her talk i had never heard of reversing diabetes. i got inspired by her talk and then stumbled onto dr mary vernon who is also treating patients with type 2 diabetes and obesity . i then stumbled around on my own and i now find myself on these forums in search of my holy grail of reversing my type 2 diabetes , and alleviating my high blood pressure . since i have been at this i am down app 18 lbs. i am busy so i am out a lot and need to eat in restaurants mostly although i do cook for myself at night i will get the atkins book because as i can see on this forum there are lots of people doing this and getting weight loss results. My focus is on low carb high fat .
the videos i started with are linked below if you are interested
