Let me be clear about something. I recently have been diagnosed as a type 2 diabetic AND I am taking atenalol for HBP. So I have my issues..Yesterday I had a shrimp po'boy AND a corned beef sandwich..amazingly I did not faint or catch a stroke..but my glucosee reading has gone from 154 to 193 to 186 in the past week...so I am not the best source of information...I know what I am supposed to do but at times the flesh is weak so I empathize with your "binging"..all that you mentioned prior to the roast beef is PASTE then you added the beef on top of that...problem:how long will it take for the meat to digest and go through your colon while making its way through the paste....folks say that the sugar you consume is not the problem but I beg to differ..it is the sugar contained in the pasta/bread/cake,etc which turns into sugar and can increase INSULIN RESISTENCE...which can lead to diabetes...and speaking of coughing and sneezing...those same cakes and processed snack foods...such as chocolate candy products...just look at the ingredients...most are made of egg, milk, etc...that is to say, dairy...try eliminating cheese completely for a few weeks and see if you notice any weight loss, reduction in mucus and/or allergic symptoms..as far as the apple sauce...i eat the Mott's natural with no sugar added...i also bought a blender and a juicer to make my own natural "smoothies"...and have developed a liking to cranberry juice...which aids in metabolic functions and flushing the colon..
