[QUOTE="fergus, post: 79034, member: 6150"] I realise that Emma was suggesting a way to avoid hypo's and there's no doubt eating starchy foods would do that. My point was simply that eating starch won't help the weight loss, and that the other way to look at the hypo problem is that there is too much insulin, not insufficient starch. Insulin is by far the most important hormone in the body when it comes to making and storing body fat. Essentially, when levels are low, the body accesses stored fat for fuel. When levels are high, the body cannot access those stores and preferentially stores fat instead. All the best, fergus [/QUOTE]
