[QUOTE="AllieRainbow, post: 2310060, member: 473025"] I am working out at the moment what does two things: 1. keeps the BG low with minimal fluctuations. That seems to be not too much food, eaten once or twice a day, very low carb, higher protein, moderate to high fat. No articicial sweeteners, and getting used to absolutely no sugar at all. In anything. 2. Makes me feel full of energy and rested when I wake up in the morning. So that is the above food, plus lots of water, one to two coffees with cream per day, and a lot of exercise, plus eating when I am hungry rather than when it is a "mealtime", and not stressing too much about anything, which makes the BG shoot up like nobody's business. I am going to assume for the purpose of long term health that something is right when I feel so much better physically and mentally than I did when I ate fairly healthily, but with a few more carbs and less exercise. I am feeling fitter and stronger than I have in a long time. and this WOE seems to be sustainable now I am getting my head around it and working out recipes to avoid going back to my old habits again. I would agree that the more you look at nutritional studies. the more you realise that there is a lot of bias in there and people are looking for answers that they have already decided on. I am doing that myself with a bias against drug treatment unless absolutely necessary to avoid big damage or loss. [/QUOTE]
