I am confused. Some sites say you can mix fruits with nuts..some say fruit alone.
I would think the nuts would slow down the sugar and help slow the insulin spike.
I work out in the mornings and spend 2 hrs in the gym, so I wonder what food would be best to keep me going. I know that a piece of fruit won't cut it. Any thoughts?

Is there a certain percent by which metabolism slows if you go under a certain caloric intake?

I would love to eat whole wheat bread and reap the benifits of its many nutritional components, however, I am terribly allergic to whole wheat bread, and for that matter most grains, bran, etc. I am not however allergic to white bread. Do you know of any substitute for people with allergies or any way to gain the nutritional benifit of whole wheatbread without actually eating it.
