Gluconeogenesis VS glycogenolysis and adaptive glucose sparing
According to what you listed as your food it’s obvious that you are eating carbs. That will certainly raise your numbers. Your numbers can also vary throughout the day from what I understand. I personally have never tested anything and don’t see the need to since I’m not a diabetic and I feel great. -

Gluconeogenesis VS glycogenolysis and adaptive glucose sparing
I have watched a bunch of his videos. There is much debate about the amount of protein needed for muscle hypertrophy. On average the numbers tend to land on 1 gram of protein per pound of ideal body weight. Some say it is actually lower, down around .7 or so per pound. There are others that say it can be as much as 2 grams per pound. I'm around 215 and I am guessing my ideal weight is down around 190-200 (I change my mind almost daily). I struggle to eat that much protein everyday. On the days I do get to the 180-200g of protein my glucose gets over 100, usually in the low to mid 100's. I don't think I tracked enough to see at what point the glucose started to rise in relation to protein intake. Scott -

anyone a fan of Xylitol gum?
Xylitol is only at all useful because it will help kill the bacteria feeding on the carbs in your mouth and your throat that produce the acid that eats teeth. If you eat carbs and you clean your mouth enough you will get by, but small pockets of bacteria will cause regrowth. If you don't eat the carbs and especially sugars, the bacteria will starve and problem solved. you may still get tarter buildup but no bacteria that produce acid. -

Gluconeogenesis VS glycogenolysis and adaptive glucose sparing
On a podcast of Anthony Chaffee interviewing Anthony Phaesse, episode 212, in was said that the Dawn Effect was caused by the suns light activating receptors in the eyes affecting Cortisol levels more than circadian rhythm. I have been working nights for 40 years, not sure exactly how that affects me, but I will experiment with lunch options. My glucose was 120 mg/dl again after waking at 1pm and driving 1 hour in the light, and eating nothing. The excess protein I have been eating may be fueling extra gluconeogenesis, but I will cut out the bread first to see. Need to get a keto breath meter too. Don't know exactly how long 50 grams of carbs has been knocking me out of keto. Never planned to go full carnivore with my wife fighting me all the way, she needs to do it too but has not yet. Interested in how much extra protein it actually takes for muscle hypertrophy without affecting blood sugar so keep us posted. by the way, have you seen Anthony Chaffee?
