This video is the second half of the Atkins Diet Misconception: Diabetes series. If you have not seen Part 1, please watch it here: www.youtube.com The last video dealt with case damning the existing treatment or recommendations to follow a high carb diet managed with ever increasing doses of insulin. This video deals with the evidence for rather managing it with a low carb lifestyle. There are two great studies for advocating this method. 1:) Dietary carbohydrate restriction in type 2 diabetes mellitus and metabolic syndrome: time for a critical appraisal Nutrition and Metabolism(Lond) 2008; 5: 9. Numerous authors including Richard Bertstein, Mary Vernon, Jeff Volek, Eric Westman www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov Conducted Multi-center trial in which 63 obese men and women were randomly assigned to either diet, 21 Low Carb, 21 Control, 21 High Carb for a one year study. This discussion focuses on type 2 diabetes but many of the principles will apply to metabolic syndrome and possibly to type 1 as well[6,7]. 1. Carbohydrate restriction improves glycemic control, the primary target of nutritional therapy and reduces insulin fluctuations. 2. Carbohydrate-restricted diets are at least as effective for weight loss as low-fat diets. 3. Substitution of fat for carbohydrate is generally beneficial for markers for and incidence of CVD. 4. Carbohydrate restriction improves the features of metabolic syndrome. An important idea guiding current medical thinking is that clustering of …

I deal with the question by a viewer who like I was sick of eggs and bacon, and was looking for alternative breakfast items. My criteria for a good low carb breakfast is: * has to be quick to make * has to be easy to make * has to provide enough nutrition for morning activities and mid day exercise I also suggest the valuable step of prepping for breakfast the night or the week before by chopping the vegetables or cooking the meat beforehand to expand your options. With that in mind, there are countless options for the 5-minute or less breakfast meals. I highlight my favorite 5: * Taco or Fajita Salad * Low Carb Stir Fry * Sausage Broccoli Quiche * Upside Down Low Carb Pizza * Pancakes and Syrup

Additional contact methods: Twitter: twitter.com IM: Ask One of the questions I get quite often is how do you give up bread on the Atkins Diet, and my point is you don’t have have to. I learned this bread from Book, my Atkins Diet Drill Sergeant about 4 years ago. It is perhaps more English Muffin than bread or bun tasting, but it is good tasting. It’s tastes like a course ground wheat muffin, perfect for a sausage or egg. Book’s Flax Bread: 1 TBS Butter 1 Large Egg 2 TBS Flax Meal (Golden Flax if possible) 1/2 tsp Baking Powder Soften butter. Mix all ingredients together. Microwave for 2 minutes. Makes 2 Servings.

Here is an unbelievably good recipe for those missing cookies or a snack food. This is not Induction friendly due to the molasses, coconut, and the Ultimate Splendid Baking Mix, but that is just one more reason to perhaps move on to Ongoing Weight Loss phase. This recipe is a take-off of a chocolate chip recipe from Jennifer Eloff (low-carb-news.blogspot.com but as I said in the past, I am not much of chocolate eater. I exchanged the sugar free chocolate chips for pecans, and I honestly think these are better than the originals. Here is the recipe for the Low Carb Spendid Baking Mix (another Jennifer Eloff creation): 1 2/3 cups ground almonds 2/3 cup vanilla whey protein 2/3 cup vital wheat gluten Low Carb Chewy Pecan Cookies Ingredients: 1 1/4 cup of Splendid Low Carb Baking Mix 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/8 tsp salt 1/2 cup butter 1 cup Splenda, Granulated 1 egg 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 tsp molasses 1 1/4 cups unsweetened coconut flakes 1/2 cup Pecans, chopped Preheat over to 350 degrees. In medium bowl, combine Splendid Bake Mix, baking soda and salt. In food processor, combine butter, Splenda Granular, egg, vanilla extract and molasses; process until well combined. Add dry ingredients and process until combined. Add coconut and pecans; process a final time. Place roughly tablespoon on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and bake in 350°F 10 to 12 minutes. Cool on rack. Nutrition Info (22 servings) 85 Calories, 7.5g Fat, 3.6g Carbs (1.6g Fiber), 4g Protein

There is no reason to have a boring, routine diet while doing low carb. The Atkins Diet specifically allows all spices and herbs in it that have no added sugars. It is also way more than just salt and pepper. That opens the whole world of new flavors to Atkineers, such as Chile Powders and Cumin for Mexican dishes, Italian herbs and seasonings and garlic for Italian dishes, and Chinese 5-Spice and Allspice for Chinese dishes. In addition to all these savory spices, there are also “sweet” or “dessert” spices allowed like Cocoa powder and Cinnamon or Cassia. There is no limit to options you can try. The only caution is when you are buying commercially prepared spice packages – be sure to check for added sugars! Learn from my mistakes! The better bet is to pre-mix your spice mixes in advance. To get you started, check out the seasoning blends here: www.genaw.com Here are the carb counts for common spices in 1 TBS measurements: Salt – 0g Black Pepper – 4g (minus 2g Fiber) Garlic (minced) – 3g (0g Fiber) Garlic Powder – 6g (minus 1g Fiber) Chile Powder – 4g (minus 3g Fiber) Cinnamon – 6g (minus 4g Fiber) Cocoa Powder – 3g (minus 1g Fiber) Onion Powder – 5g (0g Fiber) Cumin – 3g (minus 1g Fiber)
