I've had my results about 3 weeks.
My blood sugar control is terrible, which I'd predicted because it's been that way since I was a kid. It means for me, it's actually better to eat plain chocolate than brown rice 😂 blood fat is good and microbiome ok.
I'm trying to slowly change my diet, switching to things that won't send me on a blood sugar spiral. Overall, I'm eating less (I used to snack and carry food because I would need to stave off hypos). I've lost about 4lb.
I'm struggling with missing the sugar rush I get from every standard carb, including things like potatoes and brown rice, but accepting it's an addiction I need to wean myself off and that it will take time. Today has been awful and I haven't stopped eating but have managed to stay away from anything with lots of processed carbs, so we're calling that a win.
It's helping me to think about how my body feels after certain foods.
The Facebook groups can be helpful, but can also be a bit toxic, with some people constantly trying to hack it, and others swearing that processed food never passes their lips anymore. I'm getting a lot of eye rolling exercise in!
I've had big events the last two weekends, with a lot of booze and food I didn't have a completely free choice in. It's helped to figure out what the best choices were, rather than normally I'd just give up and eat everything thing because I couldn't tell what was better or worse.
It is worth it to me, I paid for the app for 4 months. Atm I feel like might want it longer, but also worry that it might become a bit obsessive, so will deal with that when I get there. Other diets have worked for me, but my body never felt comfortable, or like people told me it should, like oats keeping you full, so for me, it's been about finding out about that and working on it.
