I will have to download to my Nook and read this book. Sounds really good and true. I know the carbs, refined or whole grain, have kept my belly round. I do exercise (mostly because I do enjoy it. I do Zumba which is a combination of aerobics and Latin dance), but no matter what I do, the belly just stays round. I am hoping low carbing and high fat diet will help curb the body-belly fat. I worry so much about that because it is the worst place to carry fat. My endo told me to eat like the Paleo diet (believe it or not!) and I'm trying my best. I do have to ask however, she told me all nuts except peanuts. Does anyone have the answer to why not peanuts? Also, does anyone else have a bad reaction with their bg's with natural peanut butter? I think I have to eliminate it from my diet (and I LOVE peanut butter) because I am getting high numbers with it. Had some on an apple this morning for breakfast (only because it was quick and I was running late for work). I think I will have to either start keeping a carton of eggs at work in the frig or preparing night before and heating up at work. Even an apple is causing rise to the bg's right now...darn it! I do love fruit, but obviously even the low glycemic fruits are bothering me right now. Oh well...veggies and fat and protein...that will have to be it for now.
