HI Todd
There are no specifics for complex carbs and fats because Kathleen didn't want us all to be obsessed with counting everything, so you get to experiment for yourself and see what works for you. The amount of browns and fats I eat depends on my activity level and stress level. Anyway, you can experiment and see what feels good to you and keeps you satisfied.

: Thank you kindly for the warm
: welcome! I also wanted to welcome
: the other newbies.

: I am still reading the book and I am
: finding lots of "aha"
: moments. I am working on step one and
: the breakfast, while
: I am reading the book and this board,
: is there a number we shoot for in
: grams of carbs and/or fat? I'm
: supposed to do 125 grams of
: protein split into my 3 meals, but
: I just haven't found if I'm
: supposed to balance the carbs and
: fat grams.

: A little about me, I found this diet
: and forum through my search on how
: I can lose weight and control my
: Hypoglycemia.
: While its a self diagnosis, I just
: know! I also have been in AA and
: sober for just over 6 months. One
: of those aha moments is how this
: sugar sensitivity is at the root
: of my addictions.
: Yes, I call my self an alcoholic, but
: I am an "addict". I
: don't take 2 aspirin, I take 4, I
: didn't eat 1 ice cream cone, I ate
: the whole half gallon, I didnt
: excersize an hour a day, I did it
: 2-3 hours and for 43 days in a
: row. I used to think being
: "sober" only meant not
: drinking alcohol, but one of the
: definitions of sober is to be free
: from excessivness.

: I hope to share my experiences with
: you all and hopefully be able to
: help someone else through this
: journey.

: Until next time, thank you.
