I appreciate that. When I've got a good fasting blood sugar and 2 hour blood sugar after breakfast that's inline with healthfulness i'll start experimenting beyond my "fresh fruit, veg, nuts and mushrooms" only diet.
I'm thinking colorful rices, black beans, and lentils.
No problem - good luck on your journey. It sounds like your story started with the passing of your father due to cancer, so once you start to reintroduce starches look into Turmeric and a wee bit of black pepper. Its insanely effective against cancer - NutritionFacts has many videos highlighting the research around this. The same applies to Indian Gooseberries (which you can eat right now).
