Re: Weight Loss and Diabetes       12/29/07 08:33 PM Edit Reply Quote Lumiere Reged: 06/30/06 Posts: 141 Loc: New England I am reading an interesting book called "The Schwarzbein Principle." It has some invaluable information as to why we crave carbohydrates. One of the reasons Dr.Schwarzbein says that women especially crave them is due to low estrogen levels, because estrogen is one of the hormones needed for serotonin production. She recommends eating protein with every meal, healthy fats (olive oil, avocado, etc...) and eat nothing processed or weird human-made things like nitrates, olestra, etc...as well as why sugars (maltose, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup) messes with our metabolism. She has some great info that someone without an endocrinology degree can understand. She has much info as well about diabetes...I would recommend you checking out her book if you can. Keeping active(as Toady suggested) 30 mins a day helps with the serotonin levels. I hope you find some answers soon! -------------------- Amy IBS-A Stable and thankful!
