At the last local support group meeting, Dr Westman advised a woman to stop testing her BG. She has been back on LC for about 6 months, sticking to plan, doing well but still has more abdominal weight to lose, driving herself crazy why BG was X this day, Z the next. If you are at the point you are off medications, you know what foods not to eat ( and a 6 or 10 oz steak is not going to differ that much), Stressing about the number is not going to help you (just read Dr Fung last night on stress, cortisol and Insulin). Take a short walk instead of hanging around home to test BG  |
As I said before, that's what I have decided too, to just stop testing. Our bodies are complex organisms, not machines that can be controlled with 100% certainty, so all we can do is use the knowledge we have and then let go. If one day you eat a couple more ounces of meat than you usually do, it's fine. You'll still be going in the right directions for your health and weight.
