Just having acquired the 8 week bloodsugar diet recipe book, I thought, why not try one of the recipes instead of my homemade, low carb low cal fasting diet. Big mistake. I tried something fairly easy with few ingredients "Spicy spinach and lentils", which basically consists of lentils, coconut cream, spinach and flavorings. 1 portion, main dish is quoted as having 320 calories and 14g carbs. I did swap green lentils for yellow split lentils, which might count for the high BG after. It tasted good, was very filling and I didn't even eat the full portion. 1 hr pp my BG was 8.3!!! 2 hrs after that 8.3 again and one hour after that 7.8. This morning it was still high @ 6.3. I googled carb count for lentils and its pretty high, and as I've almost cut out most carbs this week, that might have been a factor as well. I've learned my lesson. Being on LCHF is the ultimate low bloodsugar diet. When you get used to being able to control your bloodsugar this well, you don't want to go backwards to the 8 week bloodsugar diet, which I'm sure is much better than eating fish and chips, crisps and chocolate, but not nearly as good as LCHF. After this rant I actually did lose weight and are now on 52.1kg <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> but I'm pretty sure I'm not cured yet <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
