I read Gary Taubes' article for NYT back in 2012 and it literally changed my life. I had been thinking that if I ate fewer carbs not more that my insulin level should fall, enabling me to lose weight. I had tried low GI and it didn't work for me and frankly, I hate porridge. Health care professionals get stuck in a rut. A nurse way bigger than me was lecturing me on eating porridge, when asked why, didn't know.
I read this and determined to reclaim control. It was the beginning of the journey but the most important step !
