Insulin response from brie?

Yvonnem2000 · 02-08-2013, 08:33 AM

The best thing about eating this way is my stable blood sugar. I'd been humming along, staying stable, eating the same thing for about 10 days. Then Tuesday I had a blood sugar reaction. It came out of nowhere, it seemed. The two things I had done differently: I didn't eat my 1/2 cup of sour cream because I'm trying to decrease calories. (However, I did eat 1/2 cup HWC, CO, butter, salad dressing, over the course of the day. Definitely not a low-fat day, though lower than my previous days). And I added 1 oz of triple cream brie, which is a food I haven't had very often but seemed to fit the macros here.

I did work the brie into my plan, staying in my protein and carb allowances. Any guesses which change caused my problem? I remember Unna saying there were only very specific cheese she could have, but I don't remember which ones. I'm just starting to wonder if I'm more sensitive to cheese than I realized.

I appreciate any thoughts and experiences you all have had!

My guess would be HWC. Milk is said to be insulinogenic and I don't think that is solely because of the lactose in it.

insulin response is based on a lot of things besides what you eat. for example, when you start getting sick, your blood sugar tends to rise. I would never assume it was anything in particular you ate unless the pattern repeated at least three times.
