Blood Sugar needs to come down

Posted by 2DI4 at 11:16 AM

I am still in the midst of this Death to Diabetes book. If my blood sugar doesn't come down I won't lose weight. That is probably what I need, not just carb cycling although I probably need that too. Stupid catch 22. I need to lose weight to get this in control BUT unless I monitor and lower my blood sugar that isn't happening. I'm going to eat the rest of the rice/spinach/egg thing I made last night BUT I'm not buying or eating any more rice or bread until I can get this in control.

What a disappointment. I wonder if the breading from the chicken nuggets affected that too. From what I'm reading it's only taken people a month of following his protocol to see results. 197 from eating rice and those chicken nuggets. That number is WITH Metformin. This program wants you to check your blood sugar more often so you get to know EXACTLY how your own body responds to certain foods. Until this happens I am waging a losing battle with my weight. I don't eat that much. Now I know why the scale isn't moving more. I've completely changed how I eat and I've only lost 4 lbs. I know it's been under a month BUUUT that is a huge problem.

I can't wait to master this. I am grateful all this information is out there even if the doctor and dietician don't really seem to help people change. In my opinion they help to control it in its problem state. I am glad I'm done with real estate classes now and that I can focus on improving that.

I threw away the rice concoction and instead ate a spinach, celery, carrot plus spinach dip dressing. I tried to eat a yogurt but I felt so full I couldn't finish the whole thing. I tested my blood sugar again and it was 164 a couple hours after eating that. Nice AND below 170 again. That was extremely quick. It is definitely time for me to incorporate nutrition changes. He has detailed advice on supplements, vitamins and minerals. I am only incorporating his nutrition advice first. Eating should NEVER be this complicated. It's time again for me to hit up the store. It's a great thing I like veggies.

2 Nephi 20

15 Shall the ax boast itself against him that heweth therewith? Shall the saw magnify itself against him that shaketh it? As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood!
 16 Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.
 17 And the light of Israel shall be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame, and shall burn and shall devour his thorns and his briers in one day;
 18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field, both soul and body; and they shall be as when a standard-bearer fainteth.
Isaiah is so good. 

 33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of Hosts shall lop the bough with terror; and the high ones of stature shall be hewn down; and the haughty shall be humbled.
 34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forests with iron, and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.
So graphic, horrific and beautiful.

The boy responded, “I have used all my strength!”
His father corrected him: “No you haven’t. You haven’t had my help yet!”
They then bent down together and moved the rock easily.
I keep reading my talk titles and thinking I haven't listened to this talk before BUUUT I've heard it sooo many times. I wouldn't have chosen it if I knew it would be this. YES I'm listening to it AGAIN.
