In Schwarzbein's first book, she mentions some of this on pages 35-36, and the guide for choosing carb amounts at meals is on page 260. But I think it's in The Schwarzbein Principle II that she talks more about adrenal burnout and carb guidelines on page 452.
I have these and just looked it up. I've been having weight trouble lately after doing long strenuous hikes with my husband. I think it is raising my cortisol or something, but I seem to be gaining weight, it's not muscle either, cause the weight goes straight to my abdomen. It's time to reread her books for me....
