>Bernstein. Are you in any way different? Thanks,

Dr Bernsteins book is an excellent reference for diabetics, especially type

1. The GO-Diet was developed for obesity and heart disease. Since 50% of all

obese people develop diabetes and 80% of type 2 diabetics are obese, it is

not surprising you see similarities between the diets. Our current research

is noe centered on treating early diagnoses type 2 diabetics with the

GO-Diet.

The major differences between the diets is the way Bernstein counts protein.

The GO-Diet has 4 main legs. 1. it is low carb (less then 50g/day and no

more than 15g at any one sitting). 2. It emphasizes the intake of

monounsaturated fats. 3. It is a very high fiber diet to control cholesterol

and 4. it emphasizes probiotic foods, especially live culture, sugar free

fermented milk products on a daily basis to stimulate the immune system and

control yeast colonization. There are no supplements required, but a daily

multivitamin and mineral is probably a good insurance policy for most

people.

The diet works with most overweight individuals and our research shows it

has benefits with type 2 daibetics and overweight children(both under a

physicians guidance).
