[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 1097871, member: 88961"] Donna - The hard facts are that not everyone will achieve the Holy Grail, but I have written often about the progress of my bloods over time. When I was in the improving phase, and for while into maintenance, I would have very stable bloods, then with no changes, they would notch down a bit, then be stable for a while, then notch. It was like my body was struggling to maintain the higher "comfort zone" where it had got used to running, then once it couldn't do that any more, it established a new zone. This isn't guidance or a strong suggestion, but you could experiment with doing a week (or whatever) really very low carb, with fats to balance, if you don't want to drop any more weight, or even try a Fat Fast? I've done the odd few days very, very low carb, by circumstances, and it was fine. I have never done a Fat Fast, so can't comment how it felt. There was a period a few months back when a few posters did 3 or 5 day fat fasts and seemed to quite enjoy the challenge. I know [USER=85197]@zand[/USER] did, but don't know if the others who did are still around. [/QUOTE]
