My Q: What about severe insuline peaks?

Since you eat most complex carbs in combination with protein and fat there should be no insule peaks. If insuline is a problem to you: There is a site with an insuline-simulator. I once tested my way of eating for the insuline effect: it gave a nice smooth line. You could do that with your own situation.

2.Methodically boosts your growth hormone - the hormone of youth, and a fat burner - for hours every day. Other diets do not.
Q: Why does this diet boost your GH? What about having acromegalia?
|
This is beyond my knowledge, I guess Hofmekler refers to the cycling intermittent fasting, that should have very nice effects.

3.Guides you to reach a balanced state - so you can naturally distinguish between healthy instincts and addictive cravings. Other diets do not.
Well, this was my first goal on Atkins.

Great, I also experience this benefit daily.

4. Is designed around daily cycles that account for the fact that our hormonal and endocrine systems change naturally throughout every day and night.
Q: Maybe this diet can change/improve your hormonal cycles somehow?
|
No Idea, if this would be the case, I accept that as an extra, if not, the other benefits are enough for me!

5. Stabilizes your insulin without restricting carbohydrate intake on a daily basis.
I thought, insulin peak occurs not just after ch intake but after every larger meal you eat. I think eating smaller meals throughout the day can stabilize your insulin level. But eating just one at night? Well, I doubt I have to say...

See my answer about the insuline-simulater, I saw this acknowledged for my way of eating. I was afraid the diet would cause diabetes and wanted to be sure. Instead of that it showed a beautiful stabilised insulin level.
I hope you understand I have not the knowledge to answer your questions from a medical perspective. I would say see a doctor about this, but then most of them still don't believe diabetes type II is mainly caused by the overamount of simple carbs in many peoples diets!
