Strangely believe it, when I resumed eating butter and bacon and such, my numbers improved. There might be something to what you say.
Growing older though seems to be a major factor in friction increase.
Bacon and butter are okay per Atkin’s, right? Did you cut out any carbs at the same time? Since being diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes last year, I have been working on changing my diet, but there is just an overload of information, much of it conflicting. I’ve done pretty good by lowering my carb intake, particularly bread at night. Alas, I believe I may have had my last piece of pizza.
