Joslin Diabetes Center Dietary Guidelines

[not2late]

Hi all. I usually don't post in this forum, but I thought you might want to see the 2005 dietary guidelines from the Joslin Diabetes Center. And if your doctor has issues with the "high protein" you're eating on Atkins, he/she might find these guidelines informative as well.

Not less than 130g of carbohydrates per day???? They haven't got the message yet. urplequ:

I always wonder how many of these experts have to stick themselves on a daily basis - testing or injecting???

Sorry to be negative .......

No they're not on board with the carbs yet, but the bit about the meal replacement foods (shakes, bars) is interesting, as is the daily protein %.
