OK, so I've been on LCHF for a few months.... lost weight, improved cholesterol, improved blood glucose... all fabulous.
But I'm hitting a problem. I'm entering my busiest period of the year... the period when, to be honest, I really earn my salary. I have deadline upon deadline upon deadline. This is where I work longer and get more stressed. And it's the first time I've entered this period as a diabetic.
I'm getting tired. Very tired. My weight loss has stalled coz I'm approaching a proper weight so my total calorie intake seems about right. But I just need a more immediate energy boost sometimes. I shouldn't have a sugar/carb hit because that would knock me out of ketosis.
Fat is great for providing a long lasting energy with no dips, but it doesn't provide a quick hit and I'm missing that.
I'm starting to struggle a little bit as the longer hours start to bite. Any ideas welcome.
