Ok, guys
I tried Eat To Live by Dr. Joel Fuhrman - a LARGE salad every other day and normal meals between. Did not lose a pound but did cure myself of diabetes - my A!C was the absolute lowest on the prediabetic, not diabetic, scale. Then, to rid myself of high triglycerides and insulin resistance, went on the new Adkins diet (Drs. Phinney and Volek, I think.) Lasted two weeks and suddenly found myself arthritic in hands and feet. Stopped and that went away. Another dieter said that that diet gave them Gout.
Damn. Found another diet that says eat 1/2 as much protein as carbs (fiber also slows carb digestion) so added that to what I am already doing. Need a better diet, tho - am still gaining weight slowly. Any iworkable ideas?
