He believes in constant bgs like a non-diabetic with no spikes after food or lows from exercise.

And of course this is the major flaw in his logic. Non-diabetics have spikes after eating too. When he first set out his diet plan we didn't have insulins that mimic the action of the bolus insulin release from the pancreas and so having no spikes at all was the best option. Now that we can reduce the duration and severity of BG spikes (as non-diabetics can), there's scope to move away from such a restrictive lifestyle.
In fact (although I'm not going to bother trying to start an argument here), the Bernstein plan isn't a lifestyle plan, it's just an existence plan.
