Ken's Type-1 Diabetes Journey

I would like to express my thrill and gratitude to the creators of the Starch-Smart website! It is especially special to me since I discovered the benefits of a whole food plant based starch centered diet way back in 1989, and until now it has been a...

Hi Rien, Thanks for your progress update! I suppose you found the Excel version of the log on the Log Blog? I have been doing this for so many years that it is second nature and I often don't realize that it is indeed quite a learning curve for someone...

Fat Deficient?

In recent conversations regarding dietary fat and the pursuit of "good fats", I often mention that it is virtually impossible to be fat deficient - regardless how fat-free one tries to be (unless starving). I mention that every whole food has more than...

RE: Fat Deficient?
