No I am not diabetic. I follow Dr Barnard's type of eating and warded off diabetes a few years back. My carbs in a single day: 1 slice sprouted wheat bread OR oatmeal and 1 cup of brown rice or quinoa, and a piece of homemade cornbread made with honey as sweetener and brown rice flour. It's the third item I need to drop, but is life worth living without it?
Hell, no! You're talking about a piece of homemade cornbread/honey/brown rice flour for God's sake. (Not that I would eat such a concoction but obviously you love this stuff. ) If you're not super overweight then forget about it and find an exercise routine you can enjoy. Life's too friggin' short.

It is the middle thing that has the crazy carb load. A cup of quinoa is more than 100 carbs, a cub of rice is 45 carbs. Quinoa somehow has a reputation that is much much better than the reality--it is a carb overload. Try replacing that with veggies or cheese or something else lower carb, and see what happens.
Good idea, but Bette doesn't like fruit, which is too bad. Fruit can be very healthful, as well as detoxifying, especially citrus, with strawberries and apples right behind. I have a grapefruit every morning year-round, and the juice of half a lemon in a glass of water twice daily. Had liver issues when I was in my 30's, citrus really helps liver function. Living in FL, grapefruit and lemons are an easy get.
Ya mean I'm actually doing something right and didn't even realize it? Go me, LOL!
I drink over 120 oz of water a day - but always add TrueLemon
