It is all in the diet!!! It's all about making the effort to change the food. Dr Atkins isn't alone in recommending the low carb diet ( as in what we eat for life). I don't eat a lot of bacon, but I sure eat a lot of eggs!!!
Just had scrambled eggs with feta and fresh majorum, and OO drizzled on top. SOmetimes I add a few brine cured olives, too.
I stopped listening to the AMerican DIabetes ***** and American DIeticians recommendations 10 years ago. High carbs do not work for me.
Brain will always make sure it gets the fuel it needs. Seems to me this high carb diet is relatively new . . . did brains not work on eggs, meat, fats and more meat??? Meats break down into glucose, so the brain gets what it needs while avoiding the insulin spikes caused by high carb foods.
It's so nice to know I am not the only one.
