Plant-based olive oil diet (Mary Flynn Ph.D.)

[TanyaRD]

Jackie,
I watched part of the video you provided. I have a few areas of concern. One is the credentials of those promoting the program. They are from self-study programs purchased for $99 (CHEK Nutritionist). Also, I feel that some of the information in the video is based on truth but then exaggerated. For instance, (from the video) whole wheat bread turns into sugar in the body just like sweets and is considered a "bad carb" but rice (not even specified as white or brown) is considered a "good carb". There would be little difference in the blood sugar response between these two foods, in fact, rice may cause a higher spike in blood sugar thus increasing the insulin response. There isn't anything wrong with the foods listed on her "good list" but I think she is promoting elimination of other foods that can be good choices as long as portions are well managed. Exercise is also key for keeping blood sugar/insulin response in check.

Thanks for posting this for review.
