Hi Monique, As long as you're choosing high fiber, non-starchy veggies, you shouldn't need to count those. They have very little impact on your blood sugar and the fiber actually helps to stabilize it.

So glad it works for you Rhonda! I do see many people with blood sugar issues who are able to manage them really well on a higher protein diet. The most important thing is to experiment and find an eating plan that works for you and your body! Thanks for visiting 🙂

Hi Jenny - Thanks for your comment. I always disclose at the beginning of a blog post if I am being compensated, and if you read the post, you'll see that. I actually am a fan of higher protein diets like this one for women with metabolic syndrome, and I also mentioned that in the post when I described the features of the diet. Thanks so much for stopping by!

So sorry to hear that Barbara! Having food sensitivities makes healthy eating much trickier! Try to work with a dietitian who can help you to plan a healthy and balanced diet while taking into account the foods you much avoid. Feel free to email me privately also if you have specific questions.

Hi Michelle - Yes, there are some recipes and meal plans for vegetarian options in the book. She also provides general lists of foods to choose from, so you can make your own meals from foods on the list. Some of the meals plans that are non-vegetarian have proteins like ground beef, and I would recommend swapping that for a veggie ground meat which will give you the protein without too many carbs. I offer nutrition consulting sessions via Skype, if you need any help with substitutions!
