[QUOTE="Nicole T, post: 2297806, member: 527609"] It's definitely complex. I made the two paellas with exactly the same ingredients and quantities. The only difference was that I pre-boiled and rinsed the rice the second time round, to remove as much starch as I could. I was hoping it would knock something off the 2.7 spike I got the first time, but I wasn't expecting my 2 hours after reading to be the same as my pre-meal one. 6.7 this morning, which is my highest morning reading for a while, but still below the 7 I was aiming for. More alarmingly, I've put on 6lbs since yesterday. The app that goes with my scales actually asked me if I was weighing the same person. For that kind of weight gain in 24 hours, I can only guess I'm retaining a lot of fluid or I'm still digesting the meal. Conclusion: it seems this is something I can get away with doing every once in a while, within the context of a generally low carb diet. Also, I really felt I was only eating the chips because they were there, and because they were part of the experiment. I may ask them to leave them off, or might give them to someone else, in future.
