First of all, I am 69 Y.O. and excerise 6 times a week. 5'9" 143 pounds. My wife is same age. Somewhat inactive and probably 30 pounds overweight. Not excessively heavy.
She has done numerous WeightWatchers. Through all of this I have come to see that Carbs are a problem (pastas, breads, cereals, etc).
So fast forward 30 grams of extra Protein. We were both deficient. Wife gets hers mostly by a shake of 4 oz egg white and 6 oz 1% milk. I do 1 egg and egg white in the morning and a Whey, Soy, and 1%milk shake. Also natural peanut butter on a Matzo
I am to the point that my mood, energy are noticably better. This morning I had zero coffee and feel great. Now I did start a statin bc by colesterol was too high. My numbers came back yesterday. Total 174, LDL 93, and HD 64. So the ratio of Total/HD is 2.7. (lower is better and 3.5 is "ideal"). Tryclicerides are 83. But maybe the best news is that my sugar was 87!! That is always over 100 for me.
The other part of the story is a book we are reading..."Wheat Belly Total Health" by William Davis. The gist of his book is that Grass Grains (wheat, oats,rice, etc) are bad whether they are whole grain or not. Gluten is only part of the Picture. Its very complicated and I am always the first to dismiss books like this. But this book is different.
Thats about it. Feel free to criticize but it works for me in every way possible as evidenced by labwork.
If one person here tries this and it works I have acomplished a great service.
