Just dipped into page one of the thread, SG, but take a try at aubergines Parmigiana or lasagna or other pasta -- preferably in whole wheat for fiber's effect in easing your blood glucose rise and your body's subsequent effort to deal with it. There's a couple veg right there, with the tomato along with the aubergine. [Eggplant to the Yanks.] See if you enjoy the dishes.

Without fiber along, white flour and products made from it metabolize about as fast as sugar does, and your system is promptly full of your cells' basic fuel, glucose. Lots of blood glucose tells your pancreas to make with the insulin, and in corresponding amounts. Sure, it controls the blood glucose all right, by telling your fat cells to store that glucose -- stored as fat. But with plenty of fiber in play there too, the starch carbs enter your body from your digestion only slowly, and there's a lot less glucose rise for the pancreas to regulate at any one time: a lot less insulin gets pumped and a lot less of a signal to store glucose as fat is given.

Ah now see UG, here is the problem with just dipping in.
I love me some veggies. It's eating the fruit that's an issue.

Anyway, turns out it was all wrong. Well - of course eating fruit is never really wrong. But she (the Nurse) was supposed to give me a Goal booklet. I have to choose a Goal every fortnight, so that by the end of the year I am living healthily. Except she chose the first Goal for me, and it was a tricky one. In fact there are more than 26, so you are able to pick & choose.

I admit I've been very naughty and had wholemeal toast, Bran Flakes (which I admit are too sweet for me anyway) and other healthy-but-not-fruit-brekkers since I found this out. Still, the 'rents go away again (house-sitting) next Friday. I'll be back on the fruit. And when I say drinking in peace, I mean drinking fruit. Promise.

not fermented SG?

Good for you - Keep at it!
Kcal in < Kcal out = weight loss.

Wot Classic sed... and the latest from the laboratories is that every diet works as long as it has that formula. Kcal in < Kcal out.

Kinda makes you want to chain the guys in white lab-coats to treadmills, though...
