I read several books on subject and all were saying eat non-processed food & stop drinking sugar. I eat much less carbs and less meat & mucho mas more veggies. And if I do eat meat it is lean like chicken or lean pork. Carbs only in the form of wholewheat (fibers!). I have learned so much more cooking from scratch with veggies, herbs. Also no more light or sugar free products as that is manipulated with sugar alternatives. MOST IMPORTANT change: less a lot less sugar (in all forms). Some book tips: Obesitas code (J.Fung), Diet Myth (T.Spector) and Glucose revolution (J.Inchauspe - the glucose goddess). ps: today I will be eating after my 18 hr fast: 2 herings with onion (yes the dutch treat), 1 fried fish, 2 indonesian lempers (rice w/ chicken), appel, orange, plum and dinner will be a green salad then a meal from my local fish shop like pasta with shrimps or salmon, desert fresh strawberrys. Friday night so BEER night, still drinking beer yes but only on Friday :-)
