Great article! It does this low carber good to read things like this. I am on a high protein diet because I am hypoglycemic. I think I have been for 40 years but I finally found a doctor who actually LISTENED to me. It didn’t hurt that she herself is hypoglycemic and she recognized all my symptoms! After almost 3 months of eating no sugar, white flour or simple carbs of any kind, I am finally feeling great! My blood sugar is stable. If it can’t be cured with a pill, today’s doctors don’t know what to do so they tell you you have anxiety or whatever! As the saying goes...you are what you eat!

I'd have to dispute distinguishing between "simple" and "complex" carbs simply because the human body (to wit, the liver) converts ALL sugars and starches ~ other than those which are indigestible ~ into the same sugar form you can use as energy.

Whether it's refined sugar, HFCs, or baked potatoes, all same thing.

My blood sugar meter reflects that every time I use it too.

White (wheat) flour is a special case ~ for many of us it's an intolerable food so we don't eat it EVER.

One pleasant way to gain vital fats and oils is to cook up salmon ~ or get some of that top grade stuff at the fish market and use it for sashimi. If you don't have any wheat free tamari available you can mix the wasabi with the Sriracha in the fridge and use that ~ cleans ALL your sinuses in seconds Fur Shur ~ what a rush.
