The Low Carb Wagon

I am on the low carb wagon. If you would like to join me, hang on for a bumpy ride. It is not always easy, but, always worth the ride.

I just ordered the book, "Wheat Belly," by Dr. William Davis. I read the reviews on it and was quite impressed. Dr. Davis is a cardiologist who has been doing some testing on his patients. Well, I can't explain since I have not yet read the book. I know there are plenty of cardiologists out there who are still screaming low fat and lots of "healthy" whole grains. My own is one of them. My regular doctor, on the other hand, says low carb is the only way to go.

Whom should I listen to? I shall let my body make that decision for me. I alone know how I feel when I eat a low fat, high carb diet. I want to feel good. I know my body and my food sensitivities better than anyone.

All the hype about "healthy" grains literally makes me sick. I DO mean literally. 100% whole grain bread spikes my blood sugar just like white bread does. I do not want to be Diabetic and intend to listen to my enlightened doctor who recommended the low carb lifestyle as the only way to keep Diabetes at bay.

Einkorn Wheat

I am still reading "Wheat Belly," by William Davis, MD.  It's very interesting how wheat has changed and evolved over the years.  Einkorn wheat is the ancient variety of wheat grown before "modernizing, " (is that a word?) came to be.
