How come the only time my two hour is higher than my one hour (after meals) is after breakfast? I just had eggs with cheese and sausage this morning? My fasting this morning was 100.
Where do I find sprouted grain bread? I see it mentioned here alot.If your breakfast is normally higher in fat and protein content than your other meals/snacks, that could account for it.
I normally have a very high fat breakfast also - typical for me is 2 Eggs, Bacon or Ham, and a piece of sprouted-grain toast with natural peanut butter and no-sugar-added jam. The combination of the fat/protein makes any carbs I do eat slower to digest.
Not to mention your breakfast contained almost zero carbohydrate. The process of converting the protein you ate into amino acids must take place before those amino acids can be converted to glucose - causing your spike to come later.
This is NOT a bad thing, it's absolutely normal. And, unless you're doing endurance exercise (running, cycling, etc.,) on a daily basis, you don't really need the carbs.
Often it's kept in the freezer case near the organic/heath foods are . . . the brand I find is the Ezekiel 4.9 breads. I'm sure there are other brands.Where do I find sprouted grain bread? I see it mentioned here alot.
