Having only recently gained a Blood-Sugar monitor, my attitude to food has changed.
The monitor shows clearly how my food is related to what i eat. If i eat any, i repeat,
any concentrated carbohydrates, then my blood sugar rises. If my blood sugar rises,
then it stays risen for up to three days.
If i eat no carbohydrates, then my blood sugar stays at about 6.5 to 7.5.
Clearly, carbohydrates are the enemy, the cause of glycosylation and all the problems
that that brings.
I have given up experimenting with carbohydrates and simple avoid them. There are
sufficient other foods that are perfectly wonderful, that i cannot say i miss eating
meals that include carbs...
I'm eating fish, i'm eating meat, i'm eating eggs, i'm eating cheese, i'm eating lots of
nice veggies with lots of butter, the high fat leaves me feeling satisfied...
If i need a control on my appetite, i have some double cream...
As carbohydrates are a poison for my system, my attitude is why bother when there is
so much else that is good for me.
I am down one whole stone from my peak weight, my arthritis is in abatement and i
am resisting my doctors bullying and refusing all drugs...
I never trim the fat from my meats and love to eat the crackling on my pork...
Not too bad.
