Hey 49er, I actually have not read his book, just a lot of research he and others have reviewed and presented. For some reason I like his approach as it is not too too strict. He also appears to have a fairly open mind. So I would think that his book is worth the read. I will get around to reading it soon here hopefully.
I think I am still adjusting some, it's only been over a week, not quite two yet. So far I really do believe I am feeling better because of this diet. I was experiencing some pretty bad food comas at times, which is very very rare for me. Now, I never experience food coma, even when I eat much, something I'm still working on. I wonder if some of the meds I've been on, especially Zyprexa, have had a permanent negative impact on insulin sensitivity. Whatever the reasons are for my feeling so awful this year, I'm feeling better now and that's all that matters.
You can do this niner, you just have to wake up one day and do it, it's that simple. Meat(I find red meat more satiating and crave it more), good nuts(peanuts are bad and not even a nut), berries(blueberries are best), other low glycemic fruits(apples/pears), small amounts of bananas/oranges/grapfruit, loads of veggies, eggs(best when the yolk is uncooked and the white is cooked-I can explain later), and some good dairy(I love Erivan yogurt-high in acidophilus probiotic, enzymes, CLA fatty acid, and of course calcium). Oh, forgot the fermented veggies like saurkraut. This is my paleo/primal-like diet, yours may be different. I like this diet because I still get to enjoy all my favorite foods and it provides probiotics and enzymes-Erivan and saurkraut(you want organic unpasteurized fermented cabbage if you can get it). Also, make sure not to consume anything with added sugar-canned beets/balsamic vinegar.
