Debbie, I'm new to this, but just wanted to give some non-numerical support to what Cathy has said.

I had Gestational Diabetes with my last pregnancy ten years ago and decided to continue on my the "diabetes" diet forever, because it seemed to work so well at keeping weight off while being satiating.

On my post a page back, I described how it stopped working for me, and my decision to try Ray Peat's suggestions.

I felt like I was jumping off a cliff by adding full portions of potatoes and then orange juice to my meals a couple of weeks ago, but my weight is slowly going down after stalling for 3 years.

I no longer own a glucose meter --I don't want to start obsessively checking when I don't, as far as I know, have diabetes anymore--but I'm secretly dying to know what the numbers look like just to make sense of all of this.

If you decide to go for it, please share.
