I was put on the XXXXXXX diet because I am considered pre-diabetic. Do you feel this is an adequate diet?
Brief Answer:
This diet is controversial.
Detailed Answer:
I cant tell if this diet is good for you or not. It is not proven to be either helpful or not. Its controversial. For sure limiting carbohydrates can cause some weight loss and allow tissues to be more sensitive to insulin. So it seems worth to try.
