The ADA has NO scientific proof that it works. I'm a nurse and I've never met one person that was on the ADA diet that didn't end up on dialysis, blind or losing limbs, because the diet made them worse. It's not just me that Atkins works for, but MILLIONS of diabetics that have found the truth about how diabetics should eat.

Quinadal, Atkins has worked for some diabetics, and so has the ADA plan. What we would like to get across is that diabetics need to keep their doctor in the loop and not take medical advice from this forum.

The ADA was founded in 1940 and are a well respected organization.

We have no reason to doubt their advice, claims, research and case studies.

Yes, and we can see how well they eating plan has helped diabetics. None at all.
BTW, low carb/high fat was around before the ADA and worked fine for diabetics since the 1800's, until they made up that junk diet.

The ADA diet has helped a lot of people. Research and statistics back it up. Our goal here is to support a variety of weight loss plans, and we even have an Atkins forum with a large group of happy followers. However, Atkins isn't right for everyone. If you would like to join our Atkins support forum, you will be welcome. However, we wish to make it clear that we support a wide variety of diets. ADA is supported as well as Low Carb, and we don't allow diet-bashing within our forums. We also support vegetarian diets and request that you remove your signature because our vegetarian members will be offended. If you cannot adhere to this policy, we suggest you go elsewhere.

I will go elsewhere, since I found ONE member that didn't have an attitude problem on this site, Jack-150, he was actually nice. I don't care what offends vegetarians, since they are idiots anyway and deserve to be ridiculed. Why don't you rename this site, We don't know jack about diets.
