The results of the blood test haven't come yet, so I'll save further analysis of the effects of the high-fat diet for later. I'm hoping they send them to me on Monday, but who knows these things.

The doctor, to whom I briefly mentioned that I don't eat grains, gave me lecture on the health benefits of porridge and rye bread. According to her, rye bread is about the healthiest thing you can eat. I thought it best to keep my mouth shut and not say anything about how it raises blood glucose levels just like wheat bread does. She wouldn't have believed a word of it anyway.

We also discussed alcohol use, and while she was clearly opposed to the whole idea of drinking on weekends, she also made some good points. I consider myself a moderate drinker, but it'll be interesting to see what the blood tests say about my liver.
