The key is balanced meals including a good fat, a complex carb, a healthy protein, and low starch veggies. The healing phase is low carb, but higher than Atkins/SB.

This principle sounds like what I need. Because of my Graves disease and the fact that my tyroid (and metabolism) is all controlled my a suplement, I have had a heck of a time getting my metabolism back to its normal self. Atkins and or South Beach didn't really work for me. I need to "teach" my metabolism how to work again. My Doctors are no help. They say - eat less. Well, that isn't really the whole story. Weight Watchers also isn't working like it should.

Is the Schwarzbein Principle in book form? Where is your source from. Traci?
