Welcome Doc Steve .... it's wonderful to have an enlightened physician join us! You're not alone but there still aren't enough of you.
-- re the drop-out rate -- I'm convinced that comes from lack of planning and feelings of deprivation. For example, we have to plan what we'll have for lunches instead of sandwiches which is a major shift for a lot of people even though it's not difficult to brown-bag a tuna salad in place of a tuna sandwich.
-- low-carb recipes. Just scroll down to the "kitchen forum" area - TONS of recipes for every meal and occasion!
-- people with type 2 diabetes. Again scroll down to the health forum - there's a diabetes and Dr Bernstein plan area.
All that aside, I'm working on educating my primary care physician -- he's not totally unreceptive although I'm not sure he's accepting either! Oh well ... baby steps!
