[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1559127, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=368709]@Goonergal[/USER], You are right -- changing everything at once, doesn't really help to find out what is what. The problem is that other than ketostix (got them yesterday), I don't have many diagnostics to see if things change. Here is an update. Yesterday, I didn't exercise, had four glasses of water with baking soda, and a barbecued steak (plus half an avocado as well as roasted eggplant and bellpeppers) for dinner. This morning, I did a fasting blood sugar test and a ketostix test. Results: Fbg 99 (5.5) and ketones were between weak and medium. So, at least one of the changes I made appear to work, but it means that I am trading higher fasting blood sugars, no exercise, more protein for lower ketones. I am still not convinced that these changes in diet and lifestyle are really positive and were I want to go long term, but at least my mind is a bit more at rest. Thanks for advice and your concern.
