    I think that it's an awesome tool to keep my blood glucose stable without medication. I was not able to lose weight without it or medication due to my bg dropping so often.

    It is not for everyone.

    I had gastric bypass so for me it's protein, protein, protein. For carbohydrates and actually most foods I look at the calorie density, fiber, sugar, fat, and protein. I try to choose foods that are 3 or less in calorie density, have at least 3g fiber, 5g protein, and 6g or less for fat and sugar. For calorie density divide the calories per serving by the grams for per serving. Generally low carb foods have a low calorie density so I'm on board with a low/good carb meal plan.
