[QUOTE="Ian DP, post: 853540, member: 91575"] There is some (conflicting) evidence where any BG level above 7.8 at any time kills our insulin making beta cells. Dr Bernstein recommends keeping under 5.6 two hours after fasting, to help preserve beta cells. I am on a LCHF diet and eat 3,000 calories per day, to maintain weight (6'-2", BMI of 22). Just over a year ago my BMI dropped to 21, since then I have increased my fat / calorie intake, mainly through:- A bullet proof coffee of 30g butter, 30g coconut oil and a spoon of double cream (around 500 calories). A pint of guiness (around 400 calories). Most days I will have a steak or chops, always eggs and bacon for breakfast. Edited to add that I posted before reading Anthony's post. I also have lots of double cream (around 100ml per day). I didn't like cream a few years back, thought it sickly (and full fat milk), but you get used to it, and now I love it. [/QUOTE]
