Cut down on bread and eat more fish, eggs, butter - any animal protein, anything that used to move around, that wasn't stuck in the ground. Liver, kidneys, snails - even insects will do."

Throw in a beer and some lemon meringue pie, and this is my natural diet. I've always liked eating the concentrated foods that are packed with protein and fat. And the only time in my life I've ever had a weight problem was when I tried to be a vegetarian for about 2 weeks. I was always hungry, always craving ice cream. I gave it up and have never gained more than 5% of my ideal weight.

The general rule is to eat no more than 55-65g of carbs per meal. Eat three meals a day.
If you don’t eat enough carbs, your liver starts making the blood sugars you need, and that’s not what you want happening.

the dietitians say divide your plate into 3. Put veggies, meat, a carb-(potato, rice, pasta) on each division.

All veggies provide you with is mostly fiber and some vitamins. they don’t effect blood sugar.

Meat gives you minerals proteins and fats, and also does not effect blood sugars.

complex carbohydrates provide you with starch which is converted to glucose, which is directly converted by insulin produced in the pancreas to energy your blood carries to the cells in your muscles.
Gotta have it.
