• "I think it is possible to end the diabetes epidemic," says Veronica Atkins.
• She believes that type 2 diabetes and its complications can be eradicated, and to that end she has funded 38 different nutrition studies at academic institutions like Washington University, Duke University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine.
• She is confident that these studies will show that following a controlled low-carb diet can reverse type 2 diabetes and combat obesity.
• Today, more doctors than ever are putting patients on low-carb diets, but more research is still needed to convince the larger medical community to accept the fact that a low-carb lifestyle is both safe and effective.
• With plenty of money from the sale of the Atkins food company, she has the resources and dedication to set the record straight.
• He saw the positive results and finally wrote a book about low-carb diet and lifestyle.
• So there wasn't much information available about lower-carb eating before Dr. Atkins came along.
• The concept already existed and had been utilized, but it was never seriously pursued.
• Then Bob started doing it and seeing the results, and he wrote about it in the book, and the rest became history.
• Every person can tolerate their own level of carbs, but don't play around too much with the targeted carb level because you can diminish the results.
• As for enriched white bread, Dr. Atkins always said rats wouldn't eat it---it's poison.
• First of all, there are good carbs and bad carbs.
• Unfortunately, most of the carbs that are consumed by the general public are the bad carbs, specifically refined and bleached foods and sugar.
• People simply did not understand the difference between the good and bad fats.
• He saw their positive results and this reinforced his theories which ultimately improved their lives and health.
