The diabetic diet does allow for anything and everything, in
moderation. It's probably the best diet there is, for that reason,
and what Richard Simmon's Deal A Meal and Weight Watchers are based
off of. The only problem people see is the slow weight loss or weight
maintenance. Most people want fast, noticable results, so they turn
to Atkins and South Beach. They may lose a lot of weight, but they'll
gain it all back the minute they stop the diet, or they will
constantly crave the foods the diets don't allow. It's much better to
eat what you want in small amounts.
