This week’s photograph combines multiple interests (passions) into one:

  • Washington, DC (of course)
  • Food photography (working on getting better)
  • Citizen science and curiosity (never ending)
  • Nutrition, metabolic health, diabetes prevention and reversal (#ThisCenturyBestCentury)

I’ve been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for 9 days. The last day of the sensor is in 1 day. I’ll be posting on the experience in detail soon, in the meantime, given that I’ve been in a fat-adapted state for some time, the readings have been pretty consistent. I’m wondering what would happen if I ingested a large glucose (+fat) load, then. It might as well be a delicious one. Stay tuned…

More photos of the potential options below, enjoy. Thanks @BttrcrmBakeshop for the delicious options.
