Can the 13g of carbs in turkey jerky (9g sugar) spike insulin? Based on my mood late yesterday, maybe. I had 2 eggs and 2 pieces of bacon for breakfast, and had to supplement with turkey jerky around mid-day due to hunger (I wasn't fasting or anything). By dinner time, I was starving, not shaky precisely but feeling empty, and very hostile. Not a sensation I've had in quite some time. Dinner at Chipotle seemed to fix things - a barbacoa bowl with rice but no beans, two salsas, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole. Good stuff, even if the meat involves soybean oil somewhere. And I hoovered it right down.
Came home and had some dark chocolate, cheese, and salami - I'm going without nuts for at least the week, to see if that helps get me over the problems with inflammation. I finally had to take an epsom salts bath last night to get to feeling mostly normal - every joint was achy. I also have a mild sensation like an allergy or very light cold - occasional stuffy nose, and one ear is swollen a bit and feels waterlogged. Not sure what is going on there, but figure I can do fairly anti-inflammatory eating for a few days and see if that calms all of it down.
146.2 today - down a little from yesterday, probably due to the bath. Hopefully the trend will continue - as long as I avoid the bloody nuts.
