Whenever I go to Vietnam for vacation, when I came back I always gain at least 10 pounds, and the scale keep going up after that. I just got diagnosed as T2 diabetes since Jan of 2016, therefore this time I come prepared, I brought homemade beef jerky, cacao butter, macadamia nuts with me on the 18 hours plane. Once I got to Vietnam, I try to stick with low carb, didn’t touch any tropical fruits (my weakness) and when to An Nam Gourmet to buy butters and HWC for my morning BPC. Well with all of that preparation, my fasting glucose keep sky rocketing to above 130 daily :frowning2, and the end of trip I gained 4 pounds. After 5 days back to the USA, I’m happy to report that my blood sugar is under control, I lost all of the pounds that I gained. I got back to my 5:2 fasting protocol, started to take Metformin again. My HB A1C went from 5.6% to 6.5% in 3 months that I skipped Metformin. Thanks @Brenda, @richard @carl for keeping me motivated, I listened to your podcast, reading FB the whole time I’m in Vietnam.
