Feeling Better

Luanne sent me a book about 7 weeks ago that has been most helpful. It is called "The Schwarzbein Principle". It is written by an endocrinologist from Santa Barbara, CA. The premise is basically that a balanced diet slows down diseases and aging in our bodies. She considers a balanced diet to have some protein, good fat, no-carb veggies at every meal. I have quit eating almost all sugars, sweeteners, "man-made white carbs" (flour tortillas, cakes, cookies, all sweets, etc.) I also eat whole wheat bread and 2 eggs every morning. She explains "Insulin resistance" also called Syndrome X. She says that all type II diabetics had insulin resistance before getting Diabetes. This diet helps to reverse that process. I feel SO much better! I am also taking the GNLD supplements; they make a big difference as well. I go back to my new endocrinologist (Jannet Huang) next week. I am anxious to hear what she has to say about this diet and the results of all of my tests. I'll keep you blogged.
