Question:
Has anyone had any experience with the Dr Atkins Diet being a Type 1. My concerned are the diet doesnt allow sugar or carbs at all for the first couple weeks, only protein...
Answer:
I can't speak about the importance of carbs for Type 1's. The Atkins Diet allows 10-20 grams of carbs per day (vegetables) during the first two weeks and up to 40-50 per day thereafter. I would think that a Type 1 would be better off checking into Dr. Bernstein's Diabetic Solution. That's also a low carb program but designed more specifically for Type 1's.
