It looks like I'm suggesting that you use the food lists and learn them so that you will count your fruits as fruits and your starches as starch.



THanks so much for the response, Judy; looks liek I needed you to remind that a fruit is not a piece of bread........and after all my food education, I suddenly got into this all carb or no carb mindset - thanks. Yea, I never read the newer version of SB.....I will take the time to look at you lists again. I'm starting to play a bit more to see how each type of carb affects my loss (like you said you notice a difference with flour, but I guess not otehr starches?)
THanks also for your bowl muffin recipe - I will try it. I assume you're saying Carbquick is evil bc too much carbs or too like flour carbs?

On the Carbquick....its a highly processed product and it is flour!! If you use anything, you'de be much better off using a whole grain flour as that will have all the fiber and nutrients still in it.

The thing about SBD is that it does encourage us to eat whole foods..not processed. The Updated Food lists and Meal Plan guides are not in the book...they come from the SBD web site where I maintain a membership for new information. The Meal Plan guide is what I still use to track my food. The food lists are here for you too. Have you seen these yet?

My history with food plans is varied. I have been on the FAA (Food Addicts Anonymous)food plan, which is basically No Wheat, No Sugar and No Flour. This is where I learned about the dangers of flour and that is why I avoid it. Flour gets into our systems very quickly and turns to sugar.

I do not have trouble with starchy veggies ie: winter squashes, root veggies, brown rice, etc. Once in a while, I'll have some new potato or sweet potato. I do stay as close to whole foods as humanly possible.

On grains, I avoid wheat most of the time. I do eat oat meal once in a while. I have found that the Wasa and Ryvita crsipbreads are a good source of low cal, whole grain. I allow myself 2 of these a day, somtimes with hummus and other times with PB and jam, or a piece of cheese.

Once a month a allow myself a treat of Dreamfields pasta. I weigh out my 2 oz portion and thats it!!

Hope this helps!!
