Experimenting with what? Can you tell us all the new foods you experimented with, the time of day when you had them, what you had them with, in what amounts and how often you had them, and what other foods you ate that day? Or better give us your complete menus for the past week. Include quantities (measured raw) for absolutely everything and separate your foods between meals. For e.g.:
Breakfast
2 large eggs
1 oz Swiss cheese
1 cup mushrooms
Lunch

Dinner

Six days is quick! I ordered a low glycemic load cookbook from amazon and it took 3 months and two weeks. Last time I ordered a DVD from amazon.de it took 5 weeks to be delivered.
Anyway I have the DANDR and will just re-read the maintenance chapter just in case. I have experimented with yams, sweet potatoes, corn, turnips, brown rice, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, peas, whole wheat bread, whole wheat pasta, barley, quinoa, amaranth, kamut, buckwheat, lentils, milk. I test first the food on its own and then in a meal. At lunch they have even worse effects than in the evening, when my blood sugar stabilizes a bit, so I tested them at dinner mostly.
I haven't kept a food diary of everything I have eaten lately.
Also I have never measured anything, I don't weight foods or count calories, that's Atkins' prerogative after all. When I test new carbs I test a small amount so that the GL is less than 10. So corn was half a cob, yam was half a potato, turnip was a small one, brown rice was 1/3 cup, quinoa was 5 tablespoons before cooking, legumes is 1/2 cup, milk was a small glass.
Today I had on omelette in the morning made with two eggs, fried in half butter and half olive oil. The filling was sliced and cooked zucchini and leek stir fried in butter. On top of the zucchini I added sliced swiss cheese and a piece of pork fat. Twenty minutes after eating this I had already symptoms of blood sugar instability: feeling like crying for no reason, spaciness and forgetfullness, blurred vision and headache. I started sweating and feel lightheaded and I had ringing in my ears.
