[QUOTE="ziggy_w, post: 1559139, member: 323454"] Hi [USER=6467]@LittleGreyCat[/USER], Thanks for your post and for caring. I felt very similarly to you when I red the doctor's recommendation. He actually wrote that I should switch to a more balanced diet. I would think that a ketogenic diet is actually pretty balanced -- lots of above ground vegetables and salad, eggs, cheese, fish, chicken, meat (but not too much protein), and healthy fats (such as olive oil and butter in my case). The problem probably is that most people not familiar with this style of eating probably think of a ketogenic diet as a protein-heavy diet with hardly any vegetables. Maybe, we should be calling it a mediterranean diet without noodles, bread, rice, cereals, potatoes and tropical fruits -- then health professionals would probably be excited about this diet. It would seem that after putting diabetes into remission, we would deserve a bit more credit than this. [/QUOTE]
