A bit longer.

.
.
Forty minutes until I can test blood sugar.  Then probably another kefir.  I... do like that stuff.  Just plain, anymore.  It took years to be able to barely tolerated plain kefir.  Now I love it.  I like plain yogurt as well.  Which, actually, is not as... sour?  Not as sour as kefir.  Whatever that is, it is much less of a challenge.  Why do so?  Any flavoring or sweetener messes with blood sugar in a negative way.  Yet, plain, it usually doesn't cause a problem.  Sometimes it lowers blood sugar, or cuts the increase from other foods.  

Usually?  That's... as good as it gets.  Regardless if medicine thinks it is science, it isn't.  Why eating this, or this and that, today, raises blood sugar by ten points and lowers it by twenty points?  There isn't an equation.  Even when measuring the food, and fluid, intakes of a day, and repeating the sample three days running?  It doesn't come out to a number.  It never will.  I don't think it can.  It CAN come to an average, but... that is more like physics.  The variables on that average makes it untenable for truly accurate predictive modeling.  Fail.  Science, even physics, is fail.  Thus engineering.

Anyway, so, yes.  Will just have to see.  On the good side, I was able to get another bm out, about forty five after the meal.  As with yesterday.  Now, with kefir in the queue, that should be... more regular.  Or, I should say, kefir and regular food.  Bm's* are super for weight loss.  *bowel movements, in... case you didn't know.  Not just weight loss, but weight management?  Something.

Kefir helps going in, getting ready for the food.  Livens up the internal flora and fauna, gets the juices flowing... the acid bath.  Just... does a lot of things I should think.  Then the food goes in and begins using what is there, and doing what it likes to do... break down.  Finally, the vinegar helps with the final breakdown, by encouraging a tired system to keep on going.  It adds to things, helps other things, and just gets the last of the job done.

Not only does this stuff help with digestion, it keeps the process going so that blood sugar is less likely to rise, or by as much.  As well, with the increase in digestive action, I get more of the good stuff from the food.  I get more vitamins, minerals, and whatever else my body wants and needs.  It strip mines the food, down to the lowest bases of availability.

These things also make bm's go through smoother.  As well, the matter that is sent out has been... made to be more efficiently and easily discarded.  I am impressed with the process I have started, by merely adding kefir and vinegar to my meal, changing my food to mostly meats, and eating in a six hour window.

I won't tell you it is easy.  It started by parts, and each step had to be mastered.  Even consuming vinegar is... a bit of a sharp change to my world.  But, the results?  I have lost thirty pounds.  I have lowered my fasting blood sugar by at least a hundred and sixty points in two weeks.  I am continuing to lower that and lose weight.

I have tried to advise my family.  My mother doesn't care.  My brother tried (but white vinegar, which is too sharp for even me, and probably not with water, enough water, or with water and electrolytes).  He says he doesn't care to or want to try any other way.  I... can't help others who don't want help.  Let them take those lousy pills.  I'll... eat my way to health, or give it my best shot.  Bleh.  Try to help them, but... they either don't care, or think they are "owed" pills.  Whatever.

Still, I am enjoying.  A bit behind, slow, and lacking.  Being just 70 out, I guess that is to be expected.  And, when it hits higher, on to very high temps, I'll have to sort things out then, too.  But, my blood sugar and weight, if anything, will lower even faster as heat rises.  I will be more active, no choice.  Even if still just sitting.  *grins*

On to... the rest of my day.  I'll add my blood sugar for the two hour mark, after eating, and the later blood sugar... but here?  No, I'll make a little pip, just for that.
