Hi Heather,
That sounds like a scrumptious diet...and you're still losing weight with the rice which I wish I could do. My metabolism is not functioning well enough to handle much in the way of carbs. I'd love to read the research about ferritin. My levels were not high the last time I checked however my blood glucose has been moderately high for quite some time. I bought a glucometer and have successfully gotten BG back down to normal ranges, but only if I stay away from heavy carbs.
