Breakdown on Low Glycemic Index

Carbs No Protein Yes

Carbs release insulin and tells most cells not to release any fat to burn.  Too many carbs (300 avg intake is way too many) and you crave more sweets because excessive insulin takes all sugar out of your blood.  Sugar damages your body; that’s why insulin is important.

Low carb diet means less hunger and no loss of muscle because you are eating more protein. 

What you don’t want from too much insulin:

1. Converts sugar in the blood to fat in the cells — tells the body to store all the fat it can while the sugar is available

2. Tells the cells not to burn any fat, since there are plenty of sugar molecules to burn

3. Makes you crave more carbs

What you do want:

Keep your carbs under 30 per day. 

Meat (that is not processed with carbs, such as chicken fried steak)

Broccoli

Spinach

Celery

Asparagus

Cauliflower

Lettuce

Cabbage

Mushrooms

Berries are low in sugar and high in fiber.

Nuts are low in carbs and high in omega-3 fats.

And try to eat very little (or NONE) of these:

Grains (that means no rice; you can substitute bean sprouts for rice)

Potatoes

Sugars

Collage Idea

My next collage idea is my 2011 year and or a Joy to the World Collage.

Affordable Housing - Response to Roland Shield on Facebook

The people who build homes want to get to the other side too.  People with money who want to be innovative are not being encouraged.  Affordable housing, that is $300.00 a month that is not going to become a crack slum would probably need lots of creative ideas.  I think rent averaging would be nice, like utilities.  Property taxes make affordable housing impossible because the property owners have to pay that.

On the no income, no job side of that, there is no place to live unless you have support or want to live in a shelter or with friends who will put up with you.  For low income students or single mothers or families with children or a couple who have low income jobs there are only agencies to be directed to.  I frankly don’t know what students do. 

I think that some kind of contest to create affordable community housing that people could eventually buy or maybe even smart investors could buy would be a good idea.  If business people could profit from the affordable community living in some way like a free building for a business like a market or tax credits for a while.  Like patch a road, but without making it crappy.
