The unsafe low-carb diet is the one that says “eat as much fat as you want”. To do low-carb safely, eat lean meats like fish, chicken (no skin), and lean cuts of pork and beef (if you really feel the need for pork and beef). Vegetables can be eaten without restriction and tasty recipes will keep your taste buds happy.
I’ve done Atkins and it has worked, but I “fell off” and gained back weight. The second time around, it’s harder because I love steak – and rice and potatoes and sweets! Plus I’m older now.
Atkins was criticized for its allowance/encouragement of fatty foods. But low-carb in general, I believe, is sensible, by the medical books (physiology) and by the suggestions already given for diabetics.
Buy or borrow the Atkins book and just keep the fat out of your diet. The Zone (or Sugar Busters?) is interesting: it allows certain fibrous fruits that Atkins does not (because fruit has sugar).
It will be difficult, but I think low-carb works. Of course, exercise is essential to a successful weight-loss/weight-control program. And keep the tempting foods out of the house. It also helps if you and your wife do this together, because if anyone else shares the house but not the diet, you’ll want to give up.

The south beach diet is perfect for this. Also low carb high protien is what she should be eating anyway if she has hypoglycemia as carbs turn directly into glucose causing a spike in blood sugar and if she hasn’t eaten any protein with the carbs her blood sugar will then drop quickly causing a hypoglycemic episode. The best thing she can do is eat 3 meals per day with a protein snack mid morning, mid afternoon and before bed. Have her look into the south beach diet.

I’m hypoglycemic too. I follow the diabetic diet, because that condition is the opposite. Check out sites on the web.

Weight reduction will help the diabetes. Choose a low calorie diabetic diet and it should work. About 10-20 cal/kilo. See http://www.diabeticdiets.com

Top 10 Weight Loss Foods

Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest.

Negative Calorie Foods

The phrase, "negative calorie food", as highlighted in negative calorie diet programs and books, usually refers to foods that allegedly require more energy to digest than they contain. Since the process of digestion requires the use of calories for energy, sometimes the net amount of metabolizable energy available from a food is less than the gross number of calories contained in the food.

3 Vital Principles You Must Know To Burn Fat Faster

By now, most people realize that adding lean muscle mass to your body does wonders for your metabolism and fat loss, as well as a host of other benefits that allow you to live out your life as healthy as possible.

Rest, Sleep, And Burn More Fat Fast

In order to reap the benefits from the intense exercise I recommend to my Fat Burning Furnace students, you must get adequate rest. I can’t stress this fact enough. In fact, rest is just as important, if not more important that the actual exercise.
