What a great idea to check meals and snacks this way. I'm curious to try some of my favorites. One year our family was on a very low budget and we would have meals of popcorn (cheap), apples (from our own trees), and cheese (WIC help). It's actually still one of our family favorites 20 years later, and I'm in a financial place now that I could check this out to see how those things all balance out together. I appreciate Levels way of letting people do what is affordable.

As a doctor promoting LCHPMF and Intermittent Fasting I often encourage patients to have 1 square of dark chocolate to satisfy that sweet craving after dinner. If you take the 1 square and break it into 4 pieces, you now have 4 chocolate bites, but only at ~4 carbs and you satify the cravings. To make the comparison fair you had to have 3 squares. THis was a great demonstration and a reason I promote the use of CGMs as well. Nicely done! -Compton Kurtz MD

Thank you so much for these tests and all the videos. I really enjoy your calm, no nonsense, honest way of delivering information. I have been eating ketogenically for 2 months and have seen a steady & struggle-free weight loss. I wore a CGM monitor in the beginning two weeks and noticed that I had nocturnal (non-diabetic) hypoglycemia, which surely contributed to me not sleeping very well. After just 4 days of following the diet, it completely went away. Since then, my blood sugar was in a healthy range 100% of the time. Seeing this motivates me to stay on track and I would encourage people to try wearing one at least for a while.

My body really likes low carb, decent fat and protein levels with tons of greens and low carb veggies! Great experiment.

I make popcorn but I never eat more than a cup at a time and never a second cup on the same day. I manage this by "processing" the popcorn when it's popped into two cup bowls with tops. I almost measure the 1 cup out when I pull the first cup out of the storage bowl. I do not get a higher spike than pecans or almonds because I keep it to one cup. I usually use everything spice and a pat of melted butter. One cup does not add any weight (I weigh myself every morning). I find the fiber is important, and 1 cup is a slow rise for my sugar. (I text with a normal tester 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 90 minutes later). So popcorn gets a bad rap because people don't pay attention to how to incorporate it into your diet.
@joannathesinger770

I have to add...to contrast...that just because your body processes carbs one way does NOT mean that everyone processes carbs the same way. Your spike is not everyone's spike. I don't actually have a "horse in this race". My A1C was 4.1 in September, and the lowest it can be is 4.0...but I do know that I process carbs differently, even depending on the specific day or week.

Thanks for the video! My favorite snack IS popcorn (with butter). Frankly I was not shocked by the results of your testing. I rarely snack; but when I do, it’s buttered popcorn! This is how I justify its healthful effect on me: 1. So pleasurable & satisfying. 2. Does not give me cravings for other “bad” choices. 3. It’s a very infrequent small indulgence. Small in regards to portion, as well as it does not end my world, so to speak. This video has given me that internal nudge to purchase a CGM & membership with Levels. My first test will be a Diet Pepsi or Coke Zero. These two are my kryptonite. 😢
