Yesterday before my midday meal 5.2 two hours after 6.4
Before my evening meal 5.9 two hours after 7.3 and before bed 5.7
Week 2 day 11:
My fasting BG today 5.2 That is a new low for my first BG
My chemist ordered me some ketostix which I collect today, I am sure I am no longer in ketosis so I may need to reduce one of my meals.
I think I need to increase my protein intake as the soups are a long way off of the Optifast shakes and soups, I may take a trip out and see if I can find something similar to optifast with more protein than the soup. It has not caused any issues that I am aware of but I don't want my body scavenging protein from my muscle tissue.
I will update later.
This is the power of this forum isn't it - to see a real life example of what can happen when you try to and stick to an experiment. I wonder if someone had said to you after 8 weeks you will have a BG mid to late 5's and you started of near 18 you would have taken that - and look at where you are in just a couple of weeks - absolutely amazing.
Keep going. Watch the protein - that gets converted to.
Try and map as close as you can to the ND diet formula. I am not sure I would rush to change these around when they are going so well for you and it is so early - but you know what you are doing and you need to trust your instinct. Keto sticks great idea.
