I would start by dumping *all* the carbs for about 2 weeks as Dr. Atkins
suggests.  I was amazed at how much better I felt after that 2 weeks
(during the 2 weeks I thought I would die from sugar withdrawal).

Since then I have played with carb amounts and I find that about 40 or
50 grams of carbohydrates per 24 hour period is great.  Keeps me about
normal in the BP readings.

I can go higher than that but then I start to feel very shaky and "wound
up".  Using my juicer with sweet fruit will really get me going!
Generally I try to stay with 80% animal products and 20% fruits and
veggies.  More veggies if they are not sweet things i.e. spinach.   Not
an exact thing to be sure... one has to experiment a bit.
