Judy is correct. Dr. A had it in a magazine in 1968. I followed it in 1977 and lost 17 pounds the first 2 weeks.

So, is HWC the devil like everyone says, then? I was just given this list and notice it isn't there. I have not been eating veggies, though except for the 3 asparagus spears I had the other day and the diced onion that is in the Turkey Salad.

1972 Atkins allowed 4 teaspoons of HWC per day - see the book or http://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=105855

I too am a diabetic. My B/S stays low because I am zero to low carb. Started going very low March 2011. Went to a different forum that was preaching NANY. I could not lose and had to really watch my B/S. I know zero is not good for a long time. I don't know what else to do!

The above quote is from the link to this thread...I think that you should review it very carefully. It could change everything for you.

If you want to stay off insulin then you have no other choice than to eat to your meter. Personally there is no such thing as zero carb. Even eggs have some carbs.

If it were me, and I wanted to stay off the insulin, my meter would be my best friend in the whole wide world.

Progress not perfection.
