Just had to "second" this advice. I think a lot of the current diabetes epidemic is because low fat is pushed so hard. Then there's nothing to moderate the blood sugar impact, and the cycles get pushed higher and higher; then, lower and lower.

I can have one sip of juice and it turns into an all out binge of juice and bread and everything else naughty. However, I can have a small amount of oatmeal or even 1/4 a cup of rice and do just fine. In fact, I had a serving of either of those for each meal when I was pregnant and only gained 23 and 29 pounds with my pregnancies and felt great with tons of energy (well...tons of energy for a pregnant lady!). No cravings or anything from it. Now...wheat is another story, but still doesn't seem to trigger the frenzied cravings that juice does for me. Also, I can eat a slice or two of an apple and I'm fine, which is kind of odd to me. Thank you for your input!


I can't do juices, either. I can do very small amounts of oats...not a real fan of rice, so never really tried that. And I am in agreement with the others that it is good to have some protein with any fruits other than berries....well, even with berries I normally have cream which helps balance the sugars. It really is a matter of paying attention to our bodies and doing what works best for us individually. I never would have done that had I not gone lc. I'd just still be overweight, sick and probably diabetic by now.

That's a scary thought. Can you imagine what our lives would be like if we had never discovered lc? That's something to think about as we approach the New Year.
