[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2481658, member: 256617"] I have not seen this tolerance play out on this forum - sorry I believe it is wishful thinking mostly, with acceptance of spike tolerances I could name many would not accept as normal. Are we talking about one potato, one slice of bread, or stacks of exercise with the protocol for this to fit. Yes there are variances in one or 2 foods in terms of spike volume, but if someone is claiming they can do more carbs, I would invite them to show pictures of meals over a period of time (with the pre and post glucose numbers); we can then see if it is a token amount or what could be considered in general as a regular portion e.g. 3 or 4 mid size roast potatoes, a wedge of a side of rice / pasta, 3 slices of regular toast, a bowl of any mainstream cereal (I judging these sizes based on what I would had prior). I know that I can do mid level carbs such as carrots and butternut quash in satisfaction levels of sizes with my meals to get 5.7 postprandial - could I do this without the exercise (not willing to test). I recall a thread within the last year where someone posted a spike of 4 mmol/L after increased carbs and several thought this was par the course. Show and tell as far as I am concerned. [/QUOTE]
