A couple of months ago, I used my non-prescription CGM to see how plain popcorn would affect my blood sugar level. The result was very poor. It shot my blood sugar straight up and then just as quickly dropped the level to a point lower than my starting point.
Sharing that result spurred a lot of questions about buttered popcorn. Since butter is pure fat, which is a nutrient that does not spike blood sugar, would adding butter to the popcorn make it a better snack for blood sugar control? Well, I ran the test. It should be better, right? It was not what I expected. Here are the results.

I ate chocolate for breakfast for the past four days to see how different levels of cacao and different sweeteners used in dark chocolate would affect my blood sugar.
Dark chocolate has health value. But at what level of dark does that value start, and at what point do the added ingredients tip the scale from healthy to unhealthy?
That’s a big question, and while we might not be able to answer it fully, this blog post chips away a big chunk by looking at blood sugar impact. Join me to see what my continuous glucose monitor (CGM) showed as the best and worst dark chocolate.

Snacks that keep your blood sugar low limit the fat-storing hormone insulin and control hunger. I pitted four seemingly healthy snacks against each other and used a CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) to see how each one impacted my blood sugar. This blog post shares the best and worst snack results.

A keto diet is a very low carb diet. The purpose of a keto diet is to encourage your body to produce ketones, which are breakdown products of fat metabolism. Ketones can be measured, and if your body is producing them – you are burning fat.
In other words, a keto diet is an effective fat-loss diet. But what if it is too extreme for you? Restricting your carb intake to around 20 or 30 grams per day cuts out a lot of favorite foods and limits fruit and other plant-based foods.
So what do you do if keto feels out of reach? You can get fat loss results by simply reducing your carb intake and making better carb choices. This blog post explains the difference and how you can enhance this less extreme strategy to make fast, healthy progress.
