Looking for some input here... I'm kind of interested in adapting Dr. Natasha Turner's 'The Carb Sensitivity' Program, insofar as adding back in complex carbs to my diet...she puts her clients on a low carb diet that is very similiar to IP's P1 (but whole food, not packets), then has them add back in complex carbs according to the following schedule: Wk 1 - add back in fruit; Wk 2- keep fruit, and add some starchy veg; Wk 3 - keep fruit & starchy veg and add back legumes; Wk 4 - keep fruit & starchy veg & legumes, and add back low GI grain like Ezekiel bread or guinoa; Wk 5 - now that you've re-incorporated fruit, starchy veg, legumes, and the grains recommended for Wk 4, add back in low GI high fibre grains like whole wheat pasta, kamut products, brown rice etc. The purpose is to 'test' the body at these stages and see which level of complex carb results in weight gain (and a bunch of other symptoms she describes as well).
I've also reviewed all my P3 literature though, and it really stresses how important this phase is for 'resetting the pancreas'. I'd hate to do anything to mess it up. I've read we're only supposed to stay on P3 for 2 weeks and if I switched to Dr. Turner's program for the rest of the two weeks I'd only be at the added fruit + starchy veg by the end of that time. Plus, I've already been adding back in some grains already. Anybody got any thoughts on this?
