While you are in the weight loss phase, you need to choose LGI veggies....if they are LGI, you can and should eat all you want. Actually, most people need to work hard to eat enough veggies to actually lose weight.
What is in your chow chow?
Yes, get the NT book, which is not a weight loss book, but will help you wrap your brain around the idea of a.....bacon martini!
What I teach and live is not low-carb as most people think of low carb.... it is a merge of low glycemic index and traditional food lifestyle. Not a diet. A lifestyle. And it is PERFECT for the ss person who raises their own meat and veggies and dairy!!! Because you will be raising all the perfect foods, as long as you avoid the high glycemic plant foods (corn, peas except snow and sugar snap, potatoes, grains, etc.) until you lose the weight you want to, then you can experiment and discover how many carbs your body can tolerate.
Oh, did I mention that soy is evil? Eat NOOOOOOOO soy!!!! In any form!!!! It messes with your thyroid and makes you FAT!
Except....
You can have a small amount of soy that is fermented for 3-6 months or more. So no commercial soy sauce. www.southrivermiso.com is a great resource for long ferments. They give the time frame on all their products and only ship in cool weather because they are shipping live ferments.
Oh, I do teach two classes, one for weight loss (starting a teleconference one in January) and a more detailed ones for health professionals, that is what BBH and Noobie took recently by special invitation.

Cool site Free!
So do you use their Miso Tamari instead of soy?

Can you expand on this, I am not sure what you mean.

I wasn't able to get any tamari last year (sold out by the time I made my fall order), and I had dropped soy sauce from my kitchen a while ago, so I haven't had the chance to try it yet.Dace said:
The dandelion-leek is to die for!!! I throw a bit of miso into things that would be good with soy sauce. On the rare occasion that we get Chinese take-out to bring home, I will mix some miso into my food to make it more digestible and flavorful.
As for the comment I made on working hard to eat enough veggies....eating 12 servings of veggies a day is so far from most people's norm that it is a lot of work at first. One of the common reasons for my students not losing weight in the early stages is not eating enough veggies, starting to restrict food intake when the scale doesn't seem to be budging. Restricting food intake signals the body to lower the metabolism and conserve fat stores, not burn them as energy. That is why, on diets, people lose a lot initially then stall out and even start gaining. And that is why when the diet is over, people usually gain back more than they lost, and more of it as fat around the middle.
Diets don't work.

Oh, and Dace, South River Miso has a downloadable recipe and instruction booklet that is wonderful! You can buy it for $2 or download it for free!

OK I thought that was what you meant...that it eating enough veggies requires more effort, but I was not sure!
I saw that recipe book......I may just order some miso. Which is your fav for seasoning dressings? That is next on my list, replacing the easy commercial types!

Yup...NOT a diet. A lifestyle change.
I came at it from the low carb/weight loss side, but free and I aren't that far apart on the goal and methods.
One book that REALLY helped me was "Good Calories Bad Calories" by Gary Taubes. It explains all the things we think we know about health and diet and where they came from. A lot of the "science" we have been fed is complete garbage based on lies propagated by egomaniacs....NOT real science.
My mom was a WW veteran. She drove herself and us kids insane with her WW programs. She NEVER KEPT OFF THE WEIGHT. Not only that, her doctor directly credits her gall bladder disease to the low fat WW program she followed after my sister was born. She just had it removed a couple of weeks ago.

Low Glycemic Indexokiegirl1 said:
http://www.southbeach-diet-plan.com/highglycemicfoodslist.htm
High GI foods rapidly turn to sugar in the blood stream....white bread, white sugar, corn chips, pretzels, potatoes, watermelon....they all cause a spike in blood sugar, triggering an insulin release which wipes out the sugar from the blood and stores it as fat, you know for later use
the result is a dip in blood sugar which causes cravings for....high GI foods!Living on these foods will wipe out your pancreas...and is what leads to the mass epidemic of diabetes we have in this Nation. The blood sugar roller coaster is very bad for your body, as we are seeing.
Diabetics use the chart to manage their insulin levels, it is no bull
The more Low GI you eat the more stable your blood sugar is and the more of the calories you actually burn.
ETA....since I have dramatically increased my veggie & fruit intake, I have NO MORE CRAVINGS! Seriously. After every meal I had to have something sweet....just a little something (ok, sometimes a big something) I always craved the White Stuff.... potatoes, bread, pasta, rice, and the biggie SUGAR! Now, not at all. I got off the blood sugar roller coaster.
