Vegetable Juice Question
In Dr. Schwarzbein's new book, there is a short note regarding vegetable juices saying individual's with insulin resistance should avoid them - even those without added sugar. I have not located a more thorough explanation (I sure wish she indexed her books!)
Update: I'm back on Schwarzbein after some good results a year ago. Since slipping back to some unhealthy eating, I have been experiencing elevated blood sugar. I am not classified as diabetic, but almost certainly have what is called the "metabolic syndrome." Insulin resistance is part of that condition.
Despite my personal struggles, I have kept my weight down & continued to exercise moderately. Schwazbein's new book is excellent. Her approach is balanced, rational, and moderate. Her understanding of human behavior really sets her apart.
