Big hug heading your way.. xI had some utterly deflating news today and I’m sad. Good news is emotionally eating to fix the sad isn’t all that attractive when it’s just another pork chop.
I’m hugging a coffee instead.

Ok so raw liver...hmmm not a new favourite ok but not something I will repeat in the near future.
Steak tartare is fine even with the raw egg but the liver was a bit too much for me.
@Jim Lahey much respect...
Ketones somewhat puzzlingly only at 0.7.
I probably shouldn’t get into this, as I realise many of you guys in here will disagree, but the relatively low ketone production is to be expected if a larger proportion of your body’s fuel requirements are being derived from protein.

I love reading your stuff @Jim Lahey I makes me revisit stuff and read about things I don’t understand, I’m also considering changing my status to ‘reversed my T2’ as I struggle to get an occasional 5 on my meter.
Well I had this last night...who's gonna complain about that..Morning all. Another surprising 4lbs down (1.8kg) and that must be visceral stuff as I can see my jutting hip bones and aorta and vena cava pulsing away when I lie down. Shame my **** is still the size of a small country!
I don’t test for ketones but I don’t stink of them anymore so probably well adapted again.
The children had some gorgeous food last night and my God I could have eaten the lot. Loads of different salads, hummus (hummus addict, mustn’t even sniff it) falafels...
They also had a bit of birthday cake I made a week ago and in no way I was longing for that.
I’m in a Welsh field for a week, crew catering for a home ed camp we are just starting up. I’ve dug out a tin of stewing steak, three small tins of out of date duck rillettes and boiled six eggs. I won’t starve!
Have you noticed that none of us are moaning or bitching about what we are eating?
I keep repeating this to anyone who will listen...if you don’t have diabetes then you don’t have it. One may have a tendency to get it again, but that’s not the same thing. If it can be kept at bay through dietary means then it’s no different to not getting it in the first place through dietary means. We don’t pull people off the street, ask them what they eat, and extrapolate a diagnosis of diabetes because they may eat too much cake in the future. No hyperglycaemia and no hyperinsulinemia = no diabetes. Clinical fact. Sensitivity to carbohydrate is irrelevant if you don’t consume carbohydrate.
Anyway...back on track...
