This would mean meditation should lower glucose levels, which it doesn't. Meditation (or other self-control disciplines) doesn't help with hyperglycemia in diabetes, either.
It would also mean that during a week-long fast self control should be almost impossible. Which it isn't, or it wouldn't last for a week or two.
I'm sceptical.
- gcoda 9y agoLiver can manufacture glucose to negate some of points you make. But i am skeptical too, this might be withdrawal symptoms. Since i started no sugar, no carbs diet my self control improved a lot, but that maybe self-deception

- numismatex 9y agoI'm not so skeptical about the macro as I am the micro. Think of it this way -- sugary drinks are motivational / energetic -- look at what happens when someone imbibes a sugary soft drink. Next, consider that it may be that hyperglycemia is noted as leading toward a positive patience level where without it, hypoglycemia sets in as a negative patience level. Lastly, consider that this may just be observed positive reinforcement, and without it, the actions aren't taken as easily. I believe the science of the paper is bullshit, the theory, but the experimental results they used to derive the theory, not at all.
