I agree. As long as the bg stays under control...

Bernstein advocates that Amylin helps reduce the strength of insulin to help fine tune bg in a non-diabetic. Normally glucagon alone is too strong and Amylin helps reduce the effectiveness of glucagon according to Berstein.

Now that I've listened to Bernstein's explanation of the restaurant effect it makes sense the way it is explained. I also would like to verify this effect with my own body.
[quote=REDLAN;198650]it may not be the premise behind the diet, but independent studies have shown that people eating high protein diets in particular, actually eat fewer calories than those on high carb diets...
ergo atkins works because you eat FEWER calories./QUOTE]
I don't agree with your statements whatsoever. I've read the Atkins books and his diet plan does depend on a lack of carbs, not calories. If you are low-carbing on an Atkins diet, what exactly are you replacing the carbs with? Lard???
As far as nuts go, they are full of fat. Perhaps eliminating carbs while introducing large amounts of fat in it's place can help to control bg, but in terms of weight loss, it's the calories that count, IMO...
