I WANTED to believe it, but in my heart didn't. So I went into it 'as an experiment' because low-f, high-c diet that had worked in the past was no longer working for me (become 'insulin resistant'). I was sceptical about the science, thought the books were probably just a cynical money-making exercise. Desperation and frustration forced me to put my doubts aside - thank God - initially and this forum has kept me on track since.
