Possibly a good help for us Cysters

I'm reading a book called "The Schwarzbein Principle". It was written by a female doctor who was doctor to diabetics. The author talks about why she thinks Americans have a lot of heath problems and seem to be aging faster (i.e. arthritis at younger ages, cancer at younger ages). She promotes her diet on the basis of getting your hormones back in balance, in order to stabilize your insulin for one example. She claims that what we eat affects our hormones and bodily processes. It seems that maybe some of our symptoms such as insulin resistance may be fixed by her diet. She claims the diet will help most with infertility problems since it deals with hormones. I highly encourage everyone to pick up a copy. I'm not sure if what she says really works. But my chiropractor recommended reading the book because he believes it's true. I want to run it by my sister who is a dietitian and my doctor. I'd like to hear from anyone else to reads it and has their healthcare people read it too. I want to know if her deal is just a fad, or if it could be real. Feel free to email me: mandirae23@yahoo.com.

I did this diet for a while -- over a year ago. I did lose on it, but it seemed verrry restrictive, and in the end I couldn't stick with it. I just remember not even being able to put poweder creamer (like the kind at work) in my decaf coffee. Maybe at the time I just wasn't being committed enough, and I need to look at it again, but it was HARD! : )

Just my two cents!
