[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1067746, member: 88961"] Like so many things in life, I'm afraid, there is no hard and fast rule for any of this, but you have the guiding principles about right. Vis-a-vis protein, it doesn't so much delay rises for me, but it I go heavy on the protein, I find it takes a while for whatever number I achieve to really come back down. Some people can find if they have a real protein feast their bloods stay just a bit up for a day, or longer. [USER=96315]@Andrew Colvin[/USER] has a humorous (unless you're him) anecdote about an Angentinian meat feast, which he may share with you. As for really slowing and deferring blood rises, for me, that usually would be a fat heavy meal, but although it might defer a rise, for me, the numbers usually come right back down again. When I started all this modified eating business, I noticed my bloods would notch down, then sit at that level for a period, then notch down again. It wasn't a gentle slope downwards. The reductions in my bloods did go alongside some trimming up too. If you're looking to trim your bloods back, then you have some choices: A - wait a little longer and see what happens as your waistline reduces further B - trim back the protein a bit. If you do this, you may need to up the fat you are consuming so that you are eating enough and or maybe or not hungry C- reduce your carbs further and see how that goes. If you transpired to be hungry, eat more fat, not protein Those aren't in any particular order. I just listed them as they came to my head. In your shoes, I might be inclined to consider B or C if I still had weight to lose. If you are particularly unlucky you might have to go really quite trim to see the results you really seem to want. Have you read any of Professor Roy Taylor's work, where he talks about Personal Fat Thresholds? I'm not suggesting you would necessarily do the Newcastle Diet, but his work is worth reading, even if just for his descriptions of insulin resistance and how some of us end up becoming diabetics. Dr Google or a forum search would set you off in his direction. [/QUOTE]
