  1. Had been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for 12 days. I think its explorative usefulness is low for someone already living on lower-carb for 10 months, and having collected a ton of fingerprick glucose data.
    The idea was to see if I can eat some foods I usually don't, and if those that I do eat, are less harmless than it seems with one measurement 2h after.
    For the first, the only positive is store-bought sauces: despite sugar rather high in the list, a moderate addition to my meal doesn't change anything. But, they are mostly needed to make a plate of boiled pasta, grain, or potato bearable, and surprise, I no longer eat any of those (I eat some 50g of grains max, with vegetable stew that has a lot of gravy).
    I tried dumplings because I really miss those... it took me 5h to get back in range, so I'll continue missing them.
    Corncob, a smaller but a big no too.
    Rugbrød peak is unpleasantly sharp but very short. Should work on sourcing actual grains to add to it, as seeds aren't enough, clearly. And it's a thin slice 10x10cm :(
    Legumes are even better than I thought, with a good scoop of caned peas being less visible than 50g of bulgur.
