[QUOTE="HSSS, post: 1940575, member: 480869"] Thanks for your detailed answer. So you were low carb but not diabetic and then Hypothyroid. Which causes weight gain, hair loss, poor sleep and circulation issues. But you decided it was low carb not hypothyroidism causing this? And it also caused the leanness, not your rigorous eating regime and serious exercise? A month ago your blood sugars showed high levels. Were you medically diagnosed or was it on the basis of your fingerprick tests? You were ill at the time. This is a normal reaction to illness I understand. Whilst eating high carb meals ? You simultaneously ate smaller (lower carb?) meals, changed your thyroid meds, overcame your illness and took supplements. A positive result was bgl became normal. How can you attribute which action had which part in the results? You seem to have found which carbs spike your bgl and which you believe don’t. I am assuming your testing was a various intervals after eating to cover delayed spikes? Your snack of sugary jam with fatty yogurt gave a resonable result 30mins later. What about 90mins or 2 hrs or even 3hrs? Fat with carbs slows their absorption. Did you miss the spike or not have one? I have a number of issues with your experience that leave huge gaps in your assertions as above. That said I will still be reading the links you gave as every weapon in an arsenal to help above and beyond low carb is worth considering. But I won’t be giving it up just yet. [/QUOTE]
