Actually it centers around carb intake. The less carbs you intake, the lower sugar generation of sugars to burn off.
Everyone has a story.... IMHO
Carbs = sugar. Meat = fat. Portions and timing seems to be good for some. Metamucil (sugar-free) has kept my hubby’s diabetes in control for years. Most people are surprised when I say that. It is on the label, but it doesn’t shout it. It’s not cheap.
But if you have Crohns, you’re up chit creek.
I’m pretty sure that refined sugar doesn’t help arthritis. Seems to affect mine. I notice I don’t have any problems when I don’t binge on sweets.
Sweet Dreams!
