A lot of decent things in there which I already follow. I guess I'm coming from a position where I'm pretty aware of my response to carbs and blood sugar.
I typically have a savoury breakfast or high protein breakfast, because I know it stops me from being hungry until around lunchtime. I try and avoid high sugar snacks in general, unless burning it with exercise immediately around it.
I have quite a lot of Korean food, with a good quantity of vinegar/pickles/kimchi. Also the food balance tends to be smaller bowl of rice, higher protein, plenty of veg.
Atkins/Keto/Low-carb diets can have high compliance because of its flattening effect on blood sugar. When in ketogenesis, your blood sugar doesn't fluctuate like it would if you were smashing your body with carbs every 4 hours. Sugar and carb cravings are hard to deal with, because sugar and carbs are delicious.
I’m curious to read through it.
Would be interesting to see how it relates to weight loss.
I think I get triggered when writers say calories are irrelevant. What might be more correct is that calorie counting may be unnecessary if you have a better awareness of how to manage your hunger spikes and urge to overeat. Because you are less likely to gain weight and fat.
Carrots and hummus are a bad example for me, because it’s one of the foods I can’t stop eating once I start.
Like sweet and salty popcorn and manomasa tortilla chips.
Definitely possible to derail a weight loss diet by eating hummus. (Peanut butter also gets an honourable mention of foods I need to avoid)
