Another great article by Seth! I especially liked:
"One big advance in patients taking charge was home blood glucose testing. It came from an engineer named Richard Bernstein [Dr. Bernstein also advocates low-carb diets for diabetics]. Best thing for diabetics since the discovery of insulin. Doctors opposed it. When I invented the Shangri-La Diet, and lost 30 pounds, my doctor didn’t ask how I lost all that weight. Not one question. Like all doctors, he had many fat patients; the notion that I, a mere patient, could know something that would help his other patients didn’t cross his mind."
I admire the fact that he's willing to experiment on himself to find solutions to problems. He sure thinks outside the box, diet-wise. It's a mystery why his book,
The Shangri-La Diet isn't more well-known, since the diet works so well.
