if it was wholemeal bread/pasta
Wholemeal bread and pasta create the same amount of insulin as the white kind.
my point is you don’t need a written diet guide if you have a basic grasp of what’s in food and don’t eat like a pig.
I know, but it’s not actually correct. I did not eat like a pig, and I knew all the standard healthy eating stuff (in some detail) but I was still heavier than I wanted to be. Many people follow conventional healthy eating and are fine with their weight; many people eat crap and are skinny as rakes. Not me though.
I didn’t understand the many roles of insulin in my metabolism, now I understand much better. I keep a balance between minimising insulin and fuelling my exercise – it’s quite hard to get right at times – sometimes I can’t do my training very well, and sometimes I don’t lose weight, but I am using the iDiet as a framework to build on.
remember not all carbs are created equal.
That’s the entire point of this thing.
Oh btw.. I found out something fantastic last week. I’d made beans and meat for myself before, but it was never particularly filling even with tons of beans. However a mexican takeaway place near my work does a box of salad leaves with a spoonful of beans in it and a generous helping of spiced meat – then salsa, hot sauce, guac and whatever. The roughage of the salad seems to really help keep me full and satisfied for ages. Great stuff and also very delicious.
