Not a problem at all. Aboriginal Australians, Native Americans, and Inuit have amazingly high rates of diabetes when they consume a modern diet. When on their native diets, diabetes is almost non-existent. You bet it is. I'm spending about three times as much on food as I did before.
Good health is worth it.
I really miss chocolate and ice cream. But pain is an excellent motivator, and since I've been on the diet, my pain is gone. I've been eating about 3500 calories per day on this diet, and I'm steadily losing weight . Previously, I was gaining weight on 1800 calories per day. This is why the Atkins diet works for many people.
