| From the little I've read, I understand Bernstein advocates high fat, normal protein, very low carb. I'm fine with the concept. I've just started the book, The Diabetes Diet, and one thing he mentions is that it's harder for the body to process fat calories, so while each gram of fat has 9 calories, the body uses 3 of those calories just to metabolize the fat, (so net would be 6 calories.)
I doubt that I'll ever go to his extreme of 30 g of carb per day, but I do agree I can probably learn a lot from his ideas.
As far as the nuts go, that's really intriguing. I started 1200 calories a day in early Dec., (soon after diagnosis), and my weight loss has been going at a pretty good clip.
A lot of that time I was eating 1/4 cup of almonds a day.
In the last week I haven't been eating almonds and the loss seems slower. I may have to have almonds for my snack tonight!
