I was chronically ill with stomach troubles, I was sleeping badly, and my average blood glucose was in the neighborhood of 150 mg/dL &#8212; well into the range of type II diabetes mellitus.  For the experiment,  I&#8217;ve cut my daily consumption of carbohydrates to a net of 30 grams a day and cut wheat out entirely, and I&#8217;ve added exercise following a Tabata Protocol, along with yoga, kettlebells, and (too rarely) weight lifting. I report my results here at PJ Media Lifestyle, and also on my 13 Weeks Facebook page.]]>Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:00:39 -0500<![CDATA[Charlie Martin]]>https://pjmedia.com/charlie-martin/2013/01/05/13-weeks-week-nine-in-which-we-see-results-n143733
