FACT! (Google it...)

I eat both carrots and peas and my BM's are great. But I cannot eat lentils, they raise my sugars by a significant amount. BUT I didn't realise that cashews were high in carbs. I've certainly learned something today. I'll grind them up for the birds!!! :|

How we vary - I can eat very few cooked carrots - although I can eat some raw. But I can eat lentils and other pulses!

I notice that you say....."It is basically a low-glycemic index diet, eating fresh and unprocessed foods, with plenty of fat".
A low glycemic diet does not include processed food so that bit is right. It also includes all food groups and limited fat, mostly mono.

how remiss of you Sid, you forgot to give the citation. This one backs up his point.I eat nothing but a bucket full of spinach every day and it works for me, I read about it in a paper by Popeye the Sailor. It is the only diet that works for diabetics so you must all follow it too
