| You are absolutely right Jvetter. Exercise immediately after eating would be optimal...though for me it isn't always possible. I would definitely need to do more than just a few minutes on the treadmill to defeat the evil pizza. That's why it's just easier for me NOT to have it. Unfortunately, I get most of my exercise at night, and I have my smallest meal at that time, so I don't get the best benefits from it i'm sure.
It is amazing that on the weekends I do much better readings overall due largely in part to getting more exercise (and probably less stress as well).
