"You are likely cutting back on your carbs too radically. Slowly reduce your carb levels down to 100g/day to allow your body to adjust (over weeks). Your body is burning body fat to make up for the rapid carb reduction. This creates Ketones."

Hi Ken, Thanks for the information on the reunion dates. May is a lovely month for Boston. I am looking forward to finding out more about what the program will be for us. I live 25 miles from Joslin now, but I guess that wouldn't qualify me for a hotel stay!! You mentioned that you took the Boston public transportation system around the area. I used it instead of a car until after grad school. I know alot of Boston trivia and can tell you where the "Charley Card," which is your ticket, got it's name.(Not telling now)
Have a good weekend.
Stephanie

Hi Ken, it started raining here in India. A couple of days of showers and sssshhhh - muddy roads, traffic jams, vehicles, people and everything else in knee deep water - if you live in low lying areas. How are you doing and how is it up there in the North? Rgds, Sai.

Thx for the friend add! I need to update my diabio as it's about 3 years old and I've done a bunch of stuff, mostly running, since then?
I am sort of comfy in the 5.3-5.6 range A1Cwise. Sometimes, I would sort of like it to be better, and I've hit those numbers but, whenever I do that, it seems as if I've been "burning it" by running low more than I want? I am totally a "werewolf" foodwise, and probably eat (and drink...) 1/2 of my calories after 5:00 PM which, I think, is exactly what you aren't supposed to do? I hit lots of nuts and avocados too though and agree they are tasty and easy to "process"

Going to Boston for my Joslin 50 year study!
Posted on May 24, 2012 at 7:56pm 2 Comments 2 Likes
Hi all of you North Easterners,
I will be in Boston on May 27th (Sunday) - 30th (Wed) to be a lab rat at the Joslin Clinic for my 50+ year study. If anyone is around and would like to meet up and talk about the "good ole days" let me know! I will treat you to some coffee and donuts....
....or maybe some Garbanzo beans and a salad.... :)
Shoot me a message if you are interested.
Thank you! Ken
