Default experimented with diet this week..

well its been years of one way and other here have been successful in
returning to a semi normal diet after years of control.

I guess my system was too far gone...

I wasnt crazy..an example would be I eat a plain chicken breast and
broccoli for dinner most every night...I added a tiny skin on potato that I
ate with greek yogurt that I strained thru cheese cloth to make it even
thicker with fresh chives.

so while I can now randomly do that every so often and not have it effect
me..doing this as a regular meal plan I cannot.
it doesnt effect me day one or two but day 3 I'm permanently risen in bg

ahh well was a learning thing
