[QUOTE="Deleted member 371625, post: 1735666"] Yes, I often tested before and after meals too and still do for something out of the ordinary. Keeping good baseline values is a very good indication though, if you are getting sub 4.5 every morning and pre meals it is very unlikely that you will be spiking after meals. I found 120g carbs a day to be ideal as I could eat the same food as my family, I just had small portions of spud/rice/pasta etc. cut out cakes/biscuits etc. and cut bread down to one slice a day. I do all the cooking so it was pretty easy to control this and having the same meals made it easier, Also everything is cooked from scratch, no processed food at all so I can again have more control of what we eat.. I wanted a solution that could be permanent and easy to follow and this one worked for me. When I had lost all the weight I wanted I gradually increased portion sizes with lots of testing. This was combined with an hours brisk walk twice a day. Different approaches work for different people and mine wold be tricky if you are time poor. [/QUOTE]
