[QUOTE="pianoman, post: 203966, member: 35747"] Nicely put Thanks Ailz. I agree that there seems to be too much focus these days on "nutrients" instead of whole food -- like our Grandparents generation ate. As folks with Diabetes we do have to watch for those foods which raise Blood Glucose levels but your advice on mixing foods is well taken. And as for "losing weight" on low carb I suspect that many fall into the trap of thinking that it must be "low carb AND low fat"... try replacing the energy you were previously taking in from carbs with energy from natural fats and you may find a better balance, along with improved Blood Glucose levels. Make sure your protein needs are met; so as to prevent muscle loss But try not to focus on these as nutrients, instead look to whole foods that already contain these in natural quantities -- it is the highly processed and manufactured "food" lining the shops, in brightly packaged boxes (many proclaiming their "health benefits") which we do well to avoid.
