[QUOTE="Kezzer4321, post: 787290, member: 124303"] Wow this is all very interesting - Thank You Daddys1 for raising it. When I started off LCHF'ing half-heartedly - I was amazed at the results I got. My BS levels started to drop with the exception of the fasting test and I lost around a stone in weight very quickly. Once I started to take LCHF seriously and began to understand things more fully and I discovered that I now have the ability to keep my BS lower by making the correct choices. However for me, even the smallest cheat throws me off kilter – especially with the fasting test. I can go to bed fairly low and wake high – part of this I know is due to the DP – but for the most part I am coming to understand it’s what I am eating that plays the bigger part. It’s a huge eye opener when things finally click. I think also, that it is confusing at the beginning when you start to change your eating habits - people new to LCHF they tend to go one of two ways – they eat too much of the good things like cream and butter or they eat too little. I know that I tend to underestimate the carbs in some of the foods I'm eating, especially when it comes to sauces and such. It's all about finding the right balance which is hard especially as this is different for everyone. I think its sad that some people have taken offense at this discussion, because I personally find it all fascinating. With diabetes there seems to be no one rule that fits all – with the exception that what you eat and when you eat it, for the most part has a huge in pact. Its only by reading the experiences and sharing information that we learn. For me this site has been a lifeline and without all the questions, observations and sometime indignations… I would not have found a way that allows me to manage my diabetes. [/QUOTE]
