That's a little strong, but yes, he won't know if the Carbquick is spiking his blood sugar if he doesn't test.

I'd be more interested in how wheat (which, let us not forget, is what CarbQuik is made from) affected my LDL particle levels, etc., which can be easily measured. And how eliminating it made me feel, etc. Or one can simply choose to remain ignorant. -- Dogman "I have approximate answers and possible beliefs in different degrees of certainty about different things, but I'm not absolutely sure of anything" - Richard Feynman |

low carb store in Mass. or NH? By: Walter Bushell to alt.support.diet.low-carb on Sat Sep 01 2012 12:59 pm That's a little strong, but yes, he won't know if the Carbquick is spiking his blood sugar if he doesn't test. Everyone reacts differently, but I was surprised just how tolerant of the stuff I was. For the fact of the texture and it's fairly good taste. I have eaten more than one serving, serving and a half maybe, and it's affect on blood sugar was negligible. |

Yeah, it can be a hassle at times, but at least I know exactly what I'm eating. Like Susan, I avoid "diet stores" like the plaque. Well, yes, that's one reason why I want erythritol. I am speaking of getting some of the special resistant flours, so I can put together my own "flour" mixture. Also, for many purposes, it is best to use more than one type of AS when one is cooking. (I find that is particularly true if one is dealing with sour or bitter foods.) I really want some basic things, not baking mixes, etc., etc. What is a "resistant flour"? And Joseph's pita breads contain wheat, right? Have you ever tried almond and/or coconut flours? They make for some great tasting "breads." And then there's always "meatza." http://www.foodrenegade.com/meatza-r...ainfree-pizza/ Yes, I've played around with almond, coconut, and various other such flours. Thanks for the reminder about meatza. There is also a kind-of thick crust I used to use, having gotten the idea off the old Somersize forums. But it was not as good as the pita bread approach. You can find more information about resistant flours online than I could possibly give you. Yes, the low-carb pitas contain wheat gluten and some wheat flour. I like them. You can feel free not to eat them. -- |

The new reqirement is that anyone that chooses to use a LC product like Carbquik must now purchase a glucometer and do a study on themselves before they use it, even if they are not diabetic and doing perfectly fine with years of LC experience.

So now, it's not just the possible impact on blood sugar levels I'm supposed to measure for a product like Carbquik, which, like so many others here, I've been using for years, in moderation. Now I'm supposed to figure out how it effects not only my blood glucose, but now also my "LDL particles, etc". Like many others doing LC, I use some products like Carbquik to enjoy some pancakes. Now, I'm supposed to somehow do an experiment to figure out it's impact on my LDL, which anyone with half a brain knows is virtually impossible for any of us to do, just because you say so? |

To put it bluntly, people who aren't concerned with their "LDL particles" might as well drive their cars while wearing a blindfold, too. People like you, for example.
