I’m working on adding complex carbs to my food plan. So far, I know that rice and wheat are not going to work.

Two questions for you:

Why do you think a meal plan is an important thing to have? (In general.)
What happens when you DO NOT meal plan and instead try new things? Do bad things happen?

I’m thinking (at this moment anyway) about trying some butternut squash. I tend to only eat summer squashes. I do know that I have to stay away from rice and breads. Both of these cause strange and terrible noises in my system (not to mention pain). I’m tempted by oatmeal. I made some of the baked oatmeal from your breakfast cookbook and couldn’t…[Read more]

Woot! Woot!
