I posted a fairly lengthy reply to your message in alt.support.diet.low-carb
(although you are correct that the majority seem to be Atkins). I find SB
very easy to follow -- basically, you should look at the list of "foods to
enjoy" and "foods to avoid" for Phases 1 and 2. I simply select from those
lists, and it has been exceptionally (after the first 2 weeks, which are
very rigid -- but sticking to Phase 1 really did eliminate my old cravings
for carbs). I also have diabetes, and SB has been a tremendous help to me.
As I explained in my other message, I have also eliminated *all* pasta,
flour, rice, potatoes, and added sugar (and that goes beyond SB but has had
a clear beneficial effect on my glucose readings, which are now always in
the "normal" range without any medication).
