Strange.

.

Coffee and cream and water else.  Blood sugar is up three points, to 181.  Something is very wrong.  Not sure what is happening.  I do know, no more cream and coffee, if that was going to be changed out anyway.  For now.  I have been eating more vegetable stew, if with chicken and salmon.  Surprised blood sugar is up.

Well the crackers, but even four of those is only 22 net carbs, and eaten with canned corned beef (not with potatoes or else, either).  Hmm... not sure what the problem is.  I haven't been eating steak, or meat in general.  I did cut cream for this last while.  Not sure what the problem is.  Will... continue to explore.

This guy...

I'm tellin' ya... dis guy.  Gettoutahere.

Now, understand.  I disagree with him.  But... not based in logic, science, or even nutrition.  If... as I general rule, those don't stand on their own two feet currently.

Meh.  However, there is this.  Agree?  Disagree?  It doesn't matter how I FEEL about it.  What matters is, does it work.  My bet is, for me, in my condition, I really do better on fewer carbs.  As a fact, I don't have an honest choice.  Blood sugar being a qualifier.  One I check.  A quantitative limitation due to overindulgences and general ill health, probably, in any case.

Then again, given how much exercise mitigates things?  I could see, should I figure out how to get up to, then being out on, the trail, and for extended periods, his charts might end up being better, even so.  Still, initially, I would have to be... cautious.  There is a limit.  And pushing that limit, high or low, is dangerous.  Still...

I think he has a solid argument.  Which is something I will keep in mind.  Though, regardless of those debatable notions, the information chart he offers is absolutely fantastic for hikers.  I don't care which side of things you, your body, or reality lands upon, regarding carbs, fats, and proteins.  This is an excellent data set.  I only hope it can be edited.  I'd love to add things to it, such as lower carb versions of tortillas... which I had sort of meant to explore, but then health and legs went down underneath me.  I... haven't... be able to get to that.  But... will.  Probably.

As to blood sugar?  The soup, with added fats, and two crackers, plus another fatted coffee, took my blood sugar up to... 86?  Ugh.  Wow.  That fats really do change how the carbs are processed.  Anyway, I'd best eat something.  I have mints, thought about those.  Don't want those.  But... what fats or proteins would bring blood sugar up?  I'm... going to do a little research on that.  S.o.b.!  If it isn't one thing, it is another.

Oh, the vid.  He has a series.  I plan on reviewing all of them.  Very... tight.  Trust?  I trust enough to debate, disagree, and check out.  That... my friends, is as good as it gets.  Remember what I have said about women?  Either she will do, or she won't.  I live in a simple world, pass... fail.  He passes, for now.  And, as a kicking off point.  Check.
