Anyone have any ideas as to WHY the below .. happens?
"As a SCUBA diver I know that if I eat only meats that begin with a "F", ( fish or fowl) and cook with a "B", (baked, boil or broil), for 2 weeks before a big dive trip I can double my time on a tank of air and I don't get low BG's. If I eat a beef steak at night, then the next day 15 mins - 20mins per tank of air. I've tested this on myself many times. So, if I want to swim like a fish then I eat like a fish!"

You can greatly increase your bottom time just by relaxing more and exerting yourself less. I expect that you are subconsciously doing something of the sort. It isn't possible for you to blind yourself to what you've eaten so it's a hard thing to reliably test. But, if it works for you, for whatever reason. Stick with it. Note that many fish don't eat chicken. And they are appalling at any sort of preparation that requires an oven. Though it's not entirely their fault.
