[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This came across my facebook feed, and while I normally ignore ads this was intriguing.  A glucose monitor that connects to an app and helps you shift you diet. It's crazy expensive $200-350/month, but I find the idea interesting.  I think I would make better choices if I had more concrete information at my fingertips, and explanations for why what I am eating is impacting how I feel.  It would be interesting to see the numbers.

I have about 10-15 lbs to lose.  I hate dieting and the tracking and work it entails. I always lose motivation. I wonder if something like this might work...?[/quote]

You don't need an app or CGM to know how certain food will impact your body. It is not rocket science that carbs and sugar will cause an insulin spike. that is literally how your body is supposed to respond. Eat carbs- body releases insulin to break them down.

At the end of the day losing weight comes down to one thing... burn more calories than you consume= fat loss, burn fewer calories than you consume and your body will store that energy for later use in the form of fat.

Fat loss is over complicated because we all all looking for a magic solution and it's hard to sell "eat less move more" and make money. So they keep trying to make it complicate to sell you something. This is why the diet industry is a billion dollar a year industry and we are still fat.

Overly simplistic, moralistic, and demonstrably inaccurate. What CGMs tell you is that not everybody reacts to foods or combinations the same way. For example, oatmeal is meant to be low-glycemic due to its soluble fiber. But guess what? It shoots my blood sugar through the roof.  Popcorn, on the other hand, does not.  All bodies are not the same and “eAt LEss MoVE mORe” does not provide anyone information about their own particular body. [/quote]
