Ive never heard that about a hot bath but lack of sleep can effect BG. http://drhyman.com/blog/2016/04/13/...r-nights-sleep/ Many like a hot Epson Salt bath to relax and absorb magnesium through the skin (maybe) and that helps sleep for sure.

Dr. Mark Hyman's Detox Bath
Take a hot salt/soda aromatherapy bath – raising your body temperature before bed helps to induce sleep. A hot bath also relaxes your muscles and reduces tension physically and psychically. By adding one-and-a-half to one cup of Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) and one-and-a-half to one cup of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) to your bath, you will gain the benefits of magnesium absorbed through your skin and the alkaline-balancing effects of the baking soda, both of which help with sleep

Dr Bernstein is not a fan of skipping meals, but Dr Fung is...if you read in his work, he describes hunger coming in waves. Beside the good protein you had which is satiating, you rode through the wave that comes at lunchtime (because you body is primed to have food then). Hunger doesn't continue to build up and get worse. Not suggesting you start fasting...but learning to Eat When Hungry, and what true hunger is, is "a good thing"  |
