Since I have eaten 7 bowls of barley cereal, some notable
things have happened. My post prandial
highs have been clipped. I have
consistently come in at less than 180 after eating my main meals, and that has
happened in the first week of daily barley cereal. This is very impressive.
Today, I am making barley bread. The goal is to eat three servings a day for three days, then to integrate that bread on a daily basis. Since it takes awhile to actually cook, and my carb tolerance is still low, I think the first three days need the extra emphasis on bread. The clinical trials were done with three servings the first three days. But I will keep up the barley cereal. It makes me full all day long, and I hope the bread does the same thing.
My fasting blood sugar was 5 points less than usual this
morning.
Here is the menu for the day:
BREAKFAST: 1/3 cup
Tsampa barley cereal, 1/3 cup blueberries, stevia, 2 tbs half and half
