Take a look at the CDC research that shows the spreading and intensifying of obesity in the United States. We cannot let this happen to our country, our children, and our future generations. We must change. Consult a health practitioner for the best diet for you. Generally once you get your blood sugar under control, you can add more carbohydrates (up to approx 100gms)....until your symptoms return, then back down to a place where you feel good.
