Low carb testimonial

I can talk all day about the many good reasons why most of us need to curb our intake of refined carbohydrates. But instead I’ll stand aside and let an HSI member named Jack (from Aberdeen, Scotland) give his no-frills testimonial:

“Over the last 9 years, I have crept up to taking 1x4mg Rosiglitazone Maleate plus 4x500mg Metformin BP to keep my Blood Glucose under 12mmol/l. Since starting the Atkins diet some months ago, I have dispensed with all medication AND have the lowest blood sugar levels in NINE years!”

And I’ll bet a Scottish twenty pound note that Jack’s triglyceride and homocysteine levels are under better control as well.

One testimonial doesn’t carry the weight of a clinical study. But as we see more and more studies showing the successes of the Atkins Plan and other low carb weight control solutions, Jack’s experience serves as a striking reminder that the mainstream’s low-fat diet mantra is not the best road to good health.
