Green smoothies

I have seen their video on YouTube. It is a money-making scheme to sell supplements some of which have no proven benefits whatsoever. The Herbal/Supplements Industry is almost as lucrative as the Pharmaceutical Industry.

As to meat. Meat (and eggs etc) is high in protein and this animal protein is essential as well as being very good at keeping us satisfied for longer. As we age (especially over 50) the efficiency of metabolising protein diminishes so we benefit from having a little more meat in the diet. I find that a fattier cut of meat in a goodly portion does not raise my blood glucose levels to any real extent and I am not snack hunting a couple of hours after having a meal.

If you are going to test to see what effect the smootie has on your blood glucose, you would need to test it in isolation.
Then doing the same for the porridge would be a good idea too.

It really is all about the carbs...

Does the book give you guidance on carb counting?
And advice to limit your carb intake to avoid high blood glucose?
That is usually very helpful to type 2s.
