If how I feel during a fast in comparison to eating is any guide then I would think that over-eating will make me feel worse. I will try to be observant about that but I think it is true.

Also, a chemist that knows a lot of biology told me that eating too much protein can contribute to higher sugar levels because the body will want to convert the protein to sugar. But I suspect that is in the blood and organs, not the gut. Just my guess. Or perhaps once our body is satisfied with the level of available amino acids it sends signals to the gut which alter the functioning of the microbiota and they increase breakdown of protein to sugar and have a big feast!!!???

* SNACKING!!

Just to add, I suspect that snaking will promote microbial overgrowth. Perhaps mother's advice was best to not snack between meals? Perhaps fruit or dessert at least half an hour before a meal is best, not after. That is the current advice; I don't know why.
