So, I've never read a diet book in my life. Diet books are stupid as fads are stupid. And I'm not reading a diet book now, but I came upon a Dr. Perlmutter whose book "Grain Brain" has come in my radar and I cannot put it down.
My number one fear in old age is getting Alzheimers, and I worry because I don't have the best memory or general health. It struck me the other day when i posted on Facebook about being sick (because school just started up) and a friend said "girl, ur always sick". Several years ago one of the best friends made the same observation with concern. And I am. I always have been.
I've always felt lousy and had headaches and I get colds all the time. Ive had bad headaches my entire life. And now I'm reading this book and he has a trustworthy, uncomplicated answer for all of this. The book is very well researched and explanatory and perfectly contradicts the years of failed low-fat high-carb propaganda that continues as diabetes and heart disease and Alzheimers continues to skyrocket. The author is not only a neurologist but a nutritionist as well. Not to mention, it's actually a good read - I read it instead of my novel in the BATH and I can't put it down!
So, I'm going to finish this book. I'm going to try the few changes he outlines (yes few, this isn't some crazy complicated or intensely restrictive grapefruit thing) and if this works, I will begin to annoy you because I love you.
