carbs have been an issue for me for a long time, even way before I was

or some other small quantity of natural carb, that my tolerance for carbs is

much lower than it was prior to starting the diet and my blood sugar will shoot

up far higher than it would have done before.

this but haven't been able to come up with any rational explanation. I would

have thought that if my body is starting to sort itself out, the insulin

resistance and tolerance ought to be lowering, not increasing!

+++Hi Ali. The very worst sugar for our bodies is fructose because it does " not

trigger insulin production " in order to lower blood sugar levels like other

sugars do.

half (they are quite hard to break), is it ok to have say two in the morning and

one in the afternoon to get my 600mg please?

+++Yes, that's okay.
