Some Ladies On The Crum Diet?

[Anniebelle]

Rez,

Where could you buy aramanth? At a health food store?Not sure if I spelt it right. Would you mix it with water? I just did some grocery shopping-bought some sweet potatoes (which I love), brown rice & some oats. These are better carbs than say fruit, right?

Thanks alot,
Anne

p.s. I will plan on starting strict eating plan after I get back from holiday.

Women (assuming they're not taking male hormones) have a tougher time establishing and maintaining ketosis given the same proportion of carbs in their diet, especially in the luteal phase when insulin sensitivity is reduced. I think crum's modified for females diet reflects not only this, but the observation most women basically do better with some carbs in their diet (in terms of mood, energy and compliance). Although I am more like Arioch in that I can achieve and maintain ketosis on relatively higher carbs due to general high insulin sensitivity and a high activity rate. My body seems to be pretty glycolytic, but this is not the norm for females. Do what works, but you won't know if it works until your try it.........................

Raw oats are great.

I bought oats you would use for oatmeal (not the stuff in the package) or baking. that is the same as raw oats right? i think it is because I am still getting used to all these terms.
