Yesterday I tested my blood sugar when I woke up. It was 94. About an hour later I had about 5 oz of chicken breast with a Tablespoon of butter. An hour after that I tested again and it was 91. I took this to mean that the protein did not raise my blood sugar. Did I do that correctly? Was the timing right to get accurate results?

That's the way to test your reaction to foods, anywhere 1-2 hours after is OK. You can test anything if on its own...do artificial sweeteners raise your BG? Etc. Protein did not for you. But if if want to get fancy in a nerdy, geeky type of way,  consider Data Driven Fasting...where your own BG level BEFORE meals indicates if your "fuel tank" is empty.

The Marty Kendall review of Taubes book above looks at the increased consumption of fats (mostly soybean oils) to the decreased consumption of carbs. ... where the "it’s all about carbs and sugar story" get rockier.
