:confused: I am really happy to find this site.
I am in a weight gain nightmare.
I am getting fatter as we speak and have decided to try a low carb diet. I eat fairly low carb now or at least I thought I was until I started reading this site.
My dietitian has me on 134gm a diet (Diabetic).
Hope this works.............

Welcome aboard Shelly. What plan are you following, which book?

I actually have not found a book, I thought I would try I with the help of a dietitian. But they are a little resistant to very low carb. Any suggestions on a good book to follow?

Dietitians are resistant to any diet they don't supervise and get paid for :)

There are a couple of books on low-carb for diabetics (check our book section from the menu above).

One that comes to mind is "Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution : A Complete Guide to Achieving Normal Blood Sugars."

hi Shelley,welcome to the forum
 

You mentioned you're following a diabetic diet. Are you actually diabetic?? If so, are you on any medication, or hoping to control blood sugar with diet alone? A low carb program will be really helpful for diabetes control, with weight loss a wonderful side effect .. ;) If you're on medication, it's possible you may be able to go off it, but you need your dr. to keep track of that.

Yes, most dieticians are resistant to lowcarb -- on the other hand, they're not in charge in your kitchen, and ultimately your food choices are up to you.

As Wa'il pointed out, Dr. Bernstein's Diabetes Solution is a good place to start. Check out the website http://www.diabetes-normalsugars.com/ .. there are quite a few useful exerpts from his book posted online .. :)

Hi, yes I am a diabetic. Controled by diet.
I hope this will work for me, I'm so tired of being obese.
The only thing that will be hard to give up is potato chips:(
Anyone else a diabetic?
Thanks for the suggestions, will check that out.
