Hi I am on the ada diet. My dietician and I tweaked it a bit. My ada diet does not have 300 grams of carbs per day. I am on a 1200 calorie diet at that level, I am only taking in 100-120 carbo grams a day. We are focused first on complex carb veggies, then protein, then whole grains, and 3 to 4 small pieces of fruit. This is working for me I have lost at least 8.5 pounds. And along with the meds my insulin has come down 9 points. Also I am trying to avoid foods that have a high glycemix index, even though I have not cut out all sugar from my diet I am still losing weight. The ada diet is most similar to sugarbusters. Sugarbusters is more extreme with it's limits on intake of sugar based foods. Also my endo and dietician said 100-120 is low carb, anything lower then that is extremely low carb. They told me when you eat less then 100 grams of carbs a day, the liver starts thinking it needs to produce more glucose to make up for what your not taking in, more glucose means more insulin, which we don't want. The trick is to eat small frequent meals to keep your hormones level.
