Ah, I get you. Yeah, I will get myself a BC meter and see what is good for me and what is not. I have a feeling that I am leaning more toward high protein and low carbs, things will start to come right.

Oh, it's great to have a group of people more knowledgeable than I am on the subject. I am grateful. I am going that route myself: a high-protein, low-carb diet. I actually enjoy feeling light on my feet, if that makes sense, and not stuffed from eating all the carbs that I used to. I know it's...
