That makes so much sense, I have often wondered about that......if we eat high fat while "off" even for a day........it will in essence make us go backwards.......very interesting.
My question onto this post is........how long does it take for your body's insulin level to "un-spike" so to speak if I ate something really chocolate??
Thanks!!

PS ALSO.........did someone say something about if you do your cheat within ONE HOUR of time it's not as bad?? What was that about? |
