[QUOTE="Cocosilk, post: 2144897, member: 501623"] That Japanese study was really interesting! Thanks for that link! I'm a little confused about a few things still and wonder what your opinions are regarding them. [USER=256617]@Mbaker[/USER] [USER=41816]@Brunneria[/USER] [USER=219467]@bulkbiker[/USER] [USER=496333]@Jim Lahey[/USER] In the video they mention how skipping meals increases glucose spikes with the next meal (if you skip both breakfast and lunch then you'll spike even higher when you have dinner.) I'm assuming that's a "normal" meal with up to half being carbohydrates in that next meal and wonder if eating vegetables, meats and fats first (as they also recommend) is the solution if you've been intermittent fasting and still want carbs in your other one or two meals for that day. They also make it sound like skipping meals and going very low carb (unless you are severely diabetic) is not necessarily a good idea. Is that because they assume those who are not yet diabetic will most likely go back to eating carbs and will then get higher and more damaging spikes so they just don't recommend going too low carb in the first place so your pancreas doesn't go to sleep? I guess my biggest question is, if I am not yet diabetic but showing signs of glucose intolerance, how low carb should I be eating and should I do any kind of intermittent fasting while breastfeeding (most sources I've read suggest not to)? And when I get around to weaning my baby, do I need to go hard and pull right back on carbs and start fasting (at least shorten my eating window further) to have a chance at increasing insulin sensitivity, or is the gradual approach of just lower carb more sensible if I'm not yet having diabetic fasting levels or 2 hour postprandial readings but seem just to be susceptible to glucose spikes (8s, 9s and 10s) in the first 30 - 60 mins when I do eat small - moderate amounts of carbs (large amounts of carbs seem to spike me from 11 - 13 mmol sometimes, which I don't think would be good if I let it go on for years..). The last GP I saw just told me to eat a Mediterranean diet but I'm trying to avoid grains at the moment because I've noticed the heartburn I used to get and just thought was normal for me has gone away (except after really high fat meals sometimes). I'm watching this (linked below) at the moment too so there may be some more answers here, although again differing opinions. [MEDIA=youtube]jXXGxoNFag4[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
