[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1497233, member: 196898"] I know someone on the early Atkins Diet#1 who had similar experience to yours, His problem was twofold. Firstly he was consuming alcohol in a big way on what was effectively an empty stomach, and secondly he overdid the protein input. Now protein gets converted to blood glucose, just like carbs, but at a slower rate. So a protein intake greater than 1 gram per 1kg body weight can cause complications unless body building or HIT training. I personally had a faggot too many last night, and it pushed me up by 4 mmol/l so it is possible to overdose on protein. Two years ago my bgl readings were above what my meter could register, then since LCHF I rarely go higher than 10 mmol/l after a meal (generally a chinese takeaway). You have not indicated any medication, so it may be you expected more immediate reaction to LC diet than it gave, and maybe the high bgl readings are still due to the previous way of eating rather than what I would normally expect from an LC intake, It took me a month or so to regularly drop my bgl when I started out down the LC path, The maxim we use and the mantra we quote is 'Eat to Meter' since it only needs one ingredient to upset the apple cart and it takes time to gain the knowledge of what foods are safe, and which spike us. We are all different so i can eat things that many here cannot, and vice versa. [/QUOTE]
