(The only thing to be aware of, is that though bananas may not seem high in carbs, they are VERY high on the glycemic index, so they will raise blood sugar significantly and could slow or stall weight loss.)

I have gone by net carbs so far. Should I be more concerned with the glycemic index? That would be listed on diabetic sites?
I was under the impression that if you ate bulk with carbs (like bananas) that it slowed down the sugar uptake and also that coconut oil and coconut flakes helped slow sugar uptake too? So I figured the nuts,coco flakes & coconut oil would offset that. (does that make sense?)
I have not stalled yet and I eat these muffins like crazy.
