Animal Based

Hi All,

As you can proberly see ive been adding in some honey around my work outs, ive found that they have helped improve my running, not tried gym days yet, this got me thinking and i started to look more into adding in carbs around training, ive come across antidotal feedback on people adding in carbs per day from becoming strict carnivore or keto and its helped them - i came across a video from this guy, he doesnt seem to be in the CULT of keto and carnivore and he kinda explaining what im trying to get to - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaAteR1_Vk

The worry for me is the diabetes side of things, but i think my metabolism is better now and maybe i have resolved my issues, i also tend to recover better on the days iv added in honey - other days i keep to zero carbs or ive started to add in mushrooms and some jalapenos - i completed a test this morning - after this mornings run i decided to check my blood glucose as you do - i also had 2 x Honey Gels at 22g per gel over the course of an hours run - the run felt good and i didn't lack any energy, my pace is up and my heart rate was 145-155 this allowed me to push more - i got back home and had a shower i tested my glucose and my reading was 6.1 this was about 20 minutes after the run, i then completed another reading about 20 minutes later and its come down to 5.9 - these are well within a range and id consider this pretty good - BUT - i need to be careful on this one as My T2 is in remission and not really cured so it could be brought back to life - check my glucose levels at 7:18 :

0:5:46 - 6.1

06:19 - 5.9

07:19 - 5.1

From these readings it seems my body is dealing with the honey well sugar - time will tell i supose - wish i could be a normal guy eating normal things hahaha
