I received my glucose meter in the mail yesterday from Amazon. The timing couldn’t have been better because I have had a two week period that I have fallen off drastically with my intake protocol. Two things where happening. The first is I was getting too lean. I didn’t feel safe staying Ketogenic (a fat burning state). Second I just felt like taking a break from having so much dicipline all the time.
