I posted earlier about diabetes 2 probability...which results show not..but already I was trying to gradually switch to low-glycemic diet.

So then I went back to eating what I used to eat for a few days that higher GI (bad carbs), more sugar...and I felt worse. "Going back" meant temporarily some small pastries, rice, etc.

Maybe it's time I reverted more what I ate as a child & teenage, but revise the diet, which was predominantly Chinese home cuisine --at that time, not much bread (ie. 1 slice per day), lots of rice (which I shouldn't have as much now), lots of cooked fresh veggies, homemade veggie broths, fruit daily, no pop (I don't drink pop as as adult), sweet/sugar desserts only on special occasions....

And eating out in restaurants was just 3-4 times per year. As a family never ate at restaurants much when growing up ...it was just too expensive for a large family, on my father's salary as a restaurant cook. Restaurant meals were usually at a large Chinese banquet-fest /buffet for community & friends.

So mom did shovel alot of healthy home-cooked food at us. And no, processed food was pretty minimal --sliced ham, bread, she even eagle-eyed the processed Chinese grocery condiments ...for volume of salt, etc.
