| My grandmother doesn't eat bagels anymore, because she says that they're high in sugar. |

Flax seed
My mom has some of that, but it's for her stomach since it always seems to be messed up. My family has some type of long history stomach cancer that has killed a few members  |

Flax seed meal is quite high in fiber and makes an excellent hot cereal in the morning... afternoon... whenever you're in the mood.  |

I don't know, but due to a nasty condition that I have a familiy history of that can only be prevented by eating lots of fiber, I'm just going to cut out the refined sugars, kthx. |

YES, doughnuts make your bloodsugar go up. And if you're hypoglycemic, it'll come plummeting down and turn you into a monster shortly afterword. Interestingly enough, the solution is not to replace the sugar per se (a lot of which is just getting converted into fat), but to fuel your body with something that does not cause an insulin reaction - fat, protien, and some low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as vegetables or fruits like berries, oranges, or melons. (Not watermelons, however; those're vine-grown junkfood.)
White bread = Refined Evil. Trust me. Apples, 'specially dessert apples, are also evil. |

Well, I don't really like white bread much. I love wheat bread, but I suppose that's even more carbs, isn't it?
But when you eat doughnuts, wouldn't that make your blood sugar go up?  |
white bread = love
I believe so, yes |

No, I mean hypoglycemic. Hyper - ultra high. Hypo - ultra low.
Doughnut = insulin spike = low bloodsugar. Low bloodsugar = cranky monster.
Actually, Atkins isn't that hard. I've been doing it for over two years and it's worked wonders.
Just for the record, my sister makes the most wonderful low-carb cheesecakes, and whole-wheat chocolate cake is so easy to make in the microwave.  |

| Don't you mean hyperglycemic? Anyway, it's a hard diet. Imagine, eating absolutely no pan dulce, no tortillas, rice, spagetti, etc. |

I've got any bread he wants  . Like I've said before, he wouldn't do too well on the Atkin's diet. No carbs |
Atkins is low/controlled carb, not no-carb. 
Also, after you reach your goal weight, you start eating just enough carbohydrates in a day that your weight remains stable.
Anyway, don't feed him the doughnuts. You don't want him getting a hypoglycemic reaction... trust me. |
