Before I was diagnosed, I was in the process of steadily dropping most animal products from my diet. My plan was to eat a predominantly vegan diet. Then, scared to death by prediabetes I read around and immediately converted to LCHF and not only my BG levels but my overall health and energy has improved dramatically.
I'm eating a lot more meat and dairy than I have for years, and I find it hard to see how a vegan diet can possibly be compatible with LCHF, or at least how someone like me, who eats a lot and abhors being hungry, would manage. But I'm also not really happy with what I'm eating.
So, can any vegans out there please advise me?
And can anyone guide me to more ethically sourced cheeses?
I've had a shufty around but can't seem to find much info and the Veggie/Vegan thread on here looks to be mostly Veggie...
Oh, and ps it turns out I'm allergic to peanuts and I haven't tested other nuts out since a scary incident!
