How do you measure progress/success? There are many different ways and none of them are right or wrong some just may work better than others for you and for me! One really effective way of knowing how your body responds to the food you’ve eaten is to test your blood sugar about 2 hours after you’ve eaten said food. In an individual with a normal healthy insulin response that number should be under 140 or even more optimally under 120 at that 2 hour mark. Learn more about this in @dasrobbwolf ‘s book Wired to Eat! Another blood test you can do with the same meter (pictured above) is a ketone test! Ketogenic diets have been increasing in popularity lately and for good reason! My husband is doing a pretty extreme version of keto right now that people are calling the #carnivorediet where he literally is eating nothing but animal meats and their byproducts. If you want more details or to watch his progress follow him at @owh40plus and @bronson_echf (not sure where he’ll post more about it). He’s already lost 7lbs in 10 days! Whoa! So I helped him test his blood ketones (BHB) for the first time last night and his result was 1.2. We will continue to do this a few times/week to see how it changes not really looking for a specific # right now just monitoring as much as we can. . . . Carnivore diet- have you heard of it? Thoughts? Ketogenic diets- have you tried it yet? Results? How do you measure progress?
