 | I've been observing people lose and regain weight for over 30 years now. I've sat in support groups and analyzed my "emotional eating" and my various issues with weight. Finding low-carb eating was a boon to my health, and I have maintained a weight loss - just not a very large one. This week, I'm showing you a piece of research that ties together some of the threads about this issue - our hormones, our brains, and our behavior. I think you'll find it interesting. Have a great week! Laura | |

I find that eating a lot of greens helps keep my fasting blood glucose lower, so I'm loading up! Here's why lots of greens are good for us, with links to recipes.

| What I Test My Blood Sugar
