Indeed Bazz that's why insulin is important during and after exercise, and why you do want simple carbs during and just after exercise, and not the rest of the time. I tried to explain this to TJ but he wouldn't have it.
I could inhale 5 or 6 pieces without skipping meals.
See the funny thing is - I could, absolutely - they were amazing - but I was able to resist it in a way that I am not able to resist the UPF treats. It's maybe the fact that I made it and there was a limited quantity, and I wanted to keep it so I would not run out. And that my family could have some. The thing about supermarket biscuits is that they are cheap and easy and there can always be more. But perhaps also being whole foods the homemade stuff somehow affect my brain differently to the supermarket stuff. That is what I am experimenting with anyway.
I have had about 3 bought cakes in two weeks, and no biscuits. So it might be working on that front.
If you're not putting any on that's still a small victory.
Thanks Ed. Although my weight is naturally very stable - I don't go up unless I really pig out for ages, but likewise I don't go down easily at all.
Also homemade wholemeal bread (ok, machine homemade) is incredibly filling. I had some for breakfast the other day and didn't even want lunch at all.
The graph at the beginning is pretty remarkable.
