Emma's a Type 1, and she does pay a lot of attention to the glycemic index. I think my greater concern is with the Atkins diet itself: it's reasonable as diets go, but it's not a healthy lifestyle, and people who go on diets are often sidestepping what they need to do: change their eating styles. I think it's better to forego all diets. Simply switch to a healthier way of eating and find your new weight gradually. Tobias, fair enough, and apologies if my brevity made me sound blunt.

People get sloppy about the terminology, but there's a huge difference. And a healthhacker should know the difference! That’s Type 2, not all diabetes, yes?
