This is kinda funny. I've been following about the same diet as this "Adam's diet" for the last month to control my insulin levels as I realized I was having the same symptoms of hypoglycemia that as my mom. The real difference to you guys is that in my case if I stray away from the diet I have major headaches, feel like total crap, no energy ect. I have to be real carefull with what I eat that it doesn't cause an insulin spike and the resulting crash after it. The only real difference is that I can't eat any fruit at all and I am not really eating enough vegatables although I know I should eat more. I haven't lost any weight but I think I may have gained some muscle and my lifting is progressing alot compared to before.
I eat a 4-6 egg omelete for breakfast with either lunchmeat or canned chicken in it with some cheese.
A snack at 10:00-10:30 is a handfull of almonds or pistatios.
Lunch is a can of peas and one of canned chicken with some more cheese.
A snack at 3:00 is a handfull of almonds or pistatios.
4:30-5:00 is a can of chicken and some cheese.
5:00-6:00 is some walnuts.
If I lift I have a gatorade during the workout and a granola bar after WO.
Supper is more variable. Sometimes tuna and mayo and cheese. Last night was whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce with hamburger. Other times its a sandwich with whole wheat bread.
So basically no white flour and nothing that has sugars in it and no carbs that have a remotely high GI.
