Hey Everyone...

My husband has Lyme...

I have been trying to find a great low carb, low

sugar diet for my husband to go on.

If anyone could suggest a diet that they know,

that would be great.

Atkins?< I've heard mixed things about it...

Anyone try it?

Thanks a Bunch

It's a very strict regimen but the Yeast Diet has a wonderful effect (after you get past the herxing).

This book also discusses food choices.

This book, by an ILADS member LLMD, has a lot of good information:

AND from Amazon - "A Spoonful of Ginger" and "The Cure is in the Kitchen" are good books for delicious foods that heal.

I just read an article vindicating the Atkins diet and low carb eating in general.

I think it's awesome. Just have him eat proteins and all the green vegetables he wants.

NO SUGAR

I lost 50 pounds on Atkins almost 4 years ago...kept it off, give or take 10 pounds [Smile]

If you do it, make sure you read the book...it can be dangerous to your liver and kidneysif you don't follow the diet correctly. It makes perfect sense when you understand the concept. I think I've had sweets maybe 3 or 4 times since...I don't miss it. Everything seems too sweet, even with the slightest bit of sugar in it now. [puke]

Starch is as bad as sugar too...one thing he says in the book is it is ok to cheat once in a while...once you get through the phases...BUT (big but) if you have an addiction to something (candy, pizza, etc) and you think you may binge if you have some again, then replace that addiction with something else...something healthy

that's my 2 cents, for what it's worth [Roll Eyes]

Good luck with it. Pm me of you need more details
