[QUOTE="Kristin251, post: 1111262, member: 240838"] I too find animal protein will raise me being vlc but I only eat about 1 or 2 oz per meal and I bolus 1/2 unit per ounce. ( about 30-35 gm pure proteins day) I believe vlc has a lot to do with it. I have toyed with vegetarianism but can't figure out how to get enough protein without soy and dairy which both of I cannot eat and I certainly couldn't eat enough beans. There is something to animal protein and bs for sure but I feel it's important to get some complete animal protein everyday even if in small amounts FOR ME. I feel better with some but I do eat more fish and poultry than red meats and as I said in small quantities. I certainly don't need slabs. For me, I cannot get insulin right with carbs therefore I am vlc with only small amounts of above ground veg. Most of my calories come from fat like Evoo avocado nuts seeds and mayo. It's starting to sound like carbs work without animal protein and animal protein works better without carbs ( to keep bs very steady) perhaps mixing all the macros confuse things. Interesting concept. I know I have heard many say their bs is better without flesh protein. I'm not sure I could maintain that as well as I don't digest carbs at all so not an option for me unfortunately. I still find this incredibly interesting Sounds like you're figuring things out so good for you! I am wondering how you feel? Is energy good etc? [/QUOTE]
