[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1765203, member: 196898"] If you start Low Carb tomorrow, then you could be very surprised in 2 weeks what an impact that can have It can take effect quite quickly. I take a log of readings and what I eat daily. I test just before a main meal, and then retest 2 hours after to see how much it changed as a result of the meal. This will identify any obvious bad boy meals, and then its a question of repeat the meal again but drop out or substiturte one ingredient to see if you can get a lower bounce, I found that after a while of doing this that my premeal readings closely followed my fasting (morning) readings so I was able to stop the morning reading. For example I eat curry and rice. It spiked me, so I repeated with using a low carb bread Roll instead of the rice, and bgl was considerably lower. and actually dropped below the premeal. It showed me that the curry itself was good for me, and that the rice was the main ingredient to avoid. I am going to attach a spread sheet I developed while I started, and it gives some simple rules I followed. It is not a diet sheet as such, but you can use it and adapt it as you learn how your own body reacts to the diet you choose. It worked for me. But you need to keep to a repeating schedule of meals and snacking for that to be effective. I dropped lunch in my routine, and this helped steady my bgl results. I found on the LCHF diet I was using, that I did not miss the lunch, and I also stopped snacking too. The higher fat intake helps reduce the hunger pangs, I found. There is an LCHF diet section elsewhere on the forum that is free to access but there are other diets that may suit you better in the long term, [/QUOTE]
