[QUOTE="Beating-My-Betes, post: 2359421, member: 532959"] Hopefully this addresses Dr Snoddy, BulkBiker and Mike D: Unfortunately, I can't afford to test my meals. I am currently testing FBG every few days. Fortunately, I'm trending down at 8-9 points lower than when I first posted readings, two weeks ago (Down from 18.3 to 9-10). Not out of the woods, by a long-shot. However, those readings are after 10 days of meals like the one's above. I've been weighing and logging all my foods, and I'm guessing my daily averages are around 350-500 carbs, and 2500 calories a day...ish. Here's an example of my day 4 intake: [ATTACH=full]47078[/ATTACH] --------------------- --------------------- The following morning, my reading was 9.2. Actually, it first showed as 8, but i thought it must've been an error. Re-tested about a minute later and got this. This is down from 14.8 on day 1, and the 18.5 that I previously lowered with two days of juicing. [ATTACH=full]47079[/ATTACH] --------------------------------- --------------------------------- What I'm currently eating is by no means what I would really think to eat. But for this first phase, I thought it'd be worth testing how i do with ad-libitum carbs from foods on the 'Danger' list (Bread, pasta, white-rice, potatoes, with sugar in my tea and coffee). Phase 2 will be more in line with the more whole-food approach. Still with ad-libitum carbs, making sure to keep fats really low. As to why I'm eating so much: Currently eating to hunger/appetite. I'm also trying my hardest to not lose weight during this first-phase, as I'd like any improvements to be independent of weight-loss. I'll concentrate on weight-loss in the next phases. And, lastly. in the spirit of avoiding confounding factors I've been avoiding all unnecessary physical activity. I've had a couple of longer walks to go shopping, and that's it. Will be stepping-up (literally) exercise, this week. ----------------- ----------------- Did a home OGTT (74g pure Dextrose in 300ml water) on day 1, with bad readings. Will test again, at the 3-4 week mark. [B][I]That's the last time I'll address this, here. But send me a 'pm', if you have any more questions.[/I][/B] Thanks for taking an interest. [/QUOTE]
