Starch! It’s not just for shirts….

I have been experimenting with a “plant-forward” eating plan. More plants, less meat. And I’ve gained a few pounds!

What? It’s supposed to be healthier!

Yes, and it is in many respects. But for someone like me, who gains weight easily, there are “plants,” and there are “plants.” They do not all interact with my body in the same way. The starches, for instance, send my blood sugar sky high, and tend to encourage my body to store fat.
