[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 582962, member: 41816"] Ranting is good - especially when it gives me the chance to debunk some of your trauma! If you have chronic, ongoing infection/inflammation in your ear canal then that may be affecting your BG. In the last three months I have had bubonic plague (laughingly known as 'a virus') and a tummy bug. Both had me running fasting BGs of 8-9 for 2 days. Food BG spikes stacked on top of those. And as for the weight loss, well, you already know my thoughts... The slower the better. All those amazing weight loss stories are for people dumping fluid retention and glycogen reserves in the first couple of weeks. They think its fat loss. It isn't! The point at which they slow down to a pound or two a week is the point they actually start losing fat. Annoying, irritating, and true. Check the bloodsugar101 website for the science bit. Actually, the studies quoted show that actual fat loss on a low carb diet tends to be at around the same rate as any other weight loss diet - after the initial glycogen dumpage. A pound a week is about what I would be getting on your diet, and (as you know) you are a much better person than me - cos I can't face the grinding torture for so little return. So have a hug, congratulations on your achievement, and enjoy your party. (((Hug))) [/QUOTE]
