What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)


There is a school of thought that teaches grazing. And since we humans have the teeth of herbivores rather than of carnivores it makes sense to me that we should graze or browse rather than gorge.

I realize that we are not, however, ruminants. (Thank goodness.)
 

On re-reading this, I'm not sure I understand the logistics you mean, @ianpspurs . For example, do you mean that family meals take you longer than 2 hours to eat?

Yes @Saskia a family meal i.e with 2 or more sons, wives and children will easily mean 3-4 hrs at the table. Not continuous eating but maybe an hour or 1.5 hrs between courses/parts of the meal.
 
It's not even sundown and everyone is wishing everyone goodnight already.

It makes me feel like the little kid in A Child's Garden of Verses.
 
Kind of disagree. If what I/we do works it works irrespective of testing so the continuation of testing should only confirm that. You can test a cabbage as often as you like, it is still a cabbage

Unless it's not so much green as cabbage-looking.

do sound nice, @ianpspurs
very much a 'Waltons' moment.
and sadly less common then it should perhaps be nowadays.

( unless your one of the osmonds i suppose.. )
 
Agreed, @jjraak , the family meals of @ianpspurs sound very nostalgic in a good way ...

And your pirate post sounded to me like Keef's health tips -- win-win
 
. Family meals stretch way longer but suit me much better. I would probably be best grazing all day and just testing at odd times.

not saying to do or not..., just saying..( food for thought, perhaps ..i know you have fasted)

min 20:00..grazing.
