[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 916558, member: 41816"] Nope. I generally live in ketosis, which means that i dont have significant glycogen (glucose) stores in the liver. So if my bg dips a bit, my fuel is dietary or body fat, and my bg levels stay ok. Better in fact than when i eat carbs. I had decades of fluctuating bg, including very inconvenient lows while i was moving through low carb to the point i am at now. My current lchf is the best (most stable) bg levels i have ever seen. My level rises a bit pre breakfast (that well known dawn phenomenon) to 6.5 to 7.5 then from breakfast onwards, my bg stays in the 5-6.5 range all day. If it rises higher, then i've eaten too many carbs. A big protein breakfast (like yesterday), or a big meal like steak and salad will have my bg sitting in the low-mid 6s for hours. No need to eat or snack with that level. Eventually i get hungry again, and that is the time to eat again. I've never been a grazer. I find endless phaffing with tiddly little portions very irritating and a complete disrruption. Nowadays i usually eat 3 meals and no snacks (weekdays) or 2 meals and a snack (during the weekend). But nothing is set in stone. [/QUOTE]
