Question:
What is better: the high protein diet approaches put forth by books like
"The Zone," "Protein Power," the Atkins Diet -- they all promise great things
for diabetics and a lot of their arguments make sense to a lay person. the
ADA-approved diets seem to have a lot more carbs in them. This is in
reference to a newly diagnosed Type 2, age 42, (with a lot of weight to
lose) who would rather eat the ADA way but has read so much she is
completely confused!
Answer:
In my opinion the ADA way makes more sense, especially if you are
trying to lose weight. It is difficult in reality to eat higher
protein without higher fat.
