Yeah, actually, it's the only diet that works so effectively for insulin resistance and diabetes, which, you may not have heard, involve the inability to metabolize carbohydrates. Susan

I go to restaurants all the time. I get good, healthy meals there. What I order might not be as listed on the menu, but it fits my needs.

My parents had some interesting tales to tell. When they met, my mom weighed more than my dad. By the time their first born arrived, mom had lost weight (to a healthy level) on her doctor's recommendation. Dad had gained the weight doctors (and my grandmother) had been trying to get on his frame since he was ~5. Dad's recommended diet in high school has been super high fat (he got the milk fat off every bottle that came into the house, for example) and it didn't help with his activity level (swimming and tennis playing) and metabolism. So they were both much healthier by the time I was born.) > > <snip> > > >

The experts always tell me they are not sure. BUT we deal with it via emperical knowledge. Carbs that reach the bloodstream are converted to glucose. For starches the conversion starts in the mouth Reference 5th grade healh class in 1939. That is what the meter reads in the blood drop. ----== Posted via Pronews.Com - Unlimited-Unrestricted-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.pronews.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! >100,000 Newsgroups ---= - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |
