I eat avocado, feta cheese, yoghurt and use olive oil and coconut oil for cooking ..Mine would be at that level if I ate that meal.
How much fat do you eat?

Are you avoiding meat for any particular reason?I eat avocado, feta cheese, yoghurt and use olive oil and coconut oil for cooking ..
I’m wondering if there are more carbs than you realise in what you eat. Also what about it is tough. Maybe we can help find ways to make it better.
Yes...I have just returned from Vietnam and decided to return to vegetarianism after 25 years of being a carnivore!!!Are you avoiding meat for any particular reason?
None of your reported meals seems to contain any..
I don’t fast beyond lasting as long as I can comfortably in the morning. I don’t snack in between meals though so as to avoid continued prompting of insulin. It’s not compulsory. It’s also much easier if you’re eating enough fat between fasts and are full fat adapted.I don't 'enjoy' the fasting part but I can do it, with the mantra of short term pain for long term gain'.
The keto food I find difficult in terms of not wanting to eat meat, plus i only eat feta cheese, my gallbladder has been removed so I keep fatty foods to a minimum.
I should look at vegan keto and vege keto as my next fact finding mission...possibly sign up to diet doctor and see how Ai get on with that...???
Edited to: ignore me, I misread something.I don’t fast beyond lasting as long as I can comfortably in the morning. I don’t snack in between meals though so as to avoid continued prompting of insulin.

You don’t want to eat meat? For moral/ethical reasons or because you think that it’s healthier not to? The latter is simply not true and can be evidenced in here if it helps.
I have no gallbladder. Many others doing low carb/ keto don’t either. The vast majority of people without gallbladders can eat sufficient fat. We still make the bile just store and deliver it differently. It might well mean increasing fats slowly and evenly across the day though so you can step up bile production to match. Too much too quickly can be ....unpleasant.
If you already find keto hard then doing it newly vegan will be a seriously uphill battle.
Getting enough fats is really important. Many on here have no gall bladder, and may be able to suggest ideas for you.Yes...I have just returned from Vietnam and decided to return to vegetarianism after 25 years of being a carnivore!!!
Doubt you were a carnivore for 25 years... you mean an omnivore?Yes...I have just returned from Vietnam and decided to return to vegetarianism after 25 years of being a carnivore!!!

Yes , pretty much so, if you want it to stay lower
No, not much, not if you want them to stay lower
some people tolerate carbs a bit better having lost visceral fat and improved insulin sensitivity but whatever went wrong in the first place will just go wrong again if you return to the original lifestyle.
My opinion is you are always diabetic, you just have it controlled or not. To be cured you’d have to be able to eat carbs and not have an inappropriate reaction to them.

As I said if you are doing it for supposed health reasons, don’t believe it. There’s a lot of confounded hype from people with vested and mistaken and misleading interests about how meat is damaging to health and the planet.Yes I was vegan 30 years ago...it was very tough back then...I guess keto vegan/veggie is going to be tough...I still will eat fish...pescatarian? And thankfully I like tofu!
How many carbs are you eating a day? Our carb reduction is the single most important thing in keeping our blood sugar levels normal.Yes I was vegan 30 years ago...it was very tough back then...I guess keto vegan/veggie is going to be tough...I still will eat fish...pescatarian?

OK. .. that is LOW carb..I will track my carbs and track my glucosy levels....Just a quick post from me. I eat 30 - 50g of carbs per day to keep my blood sugar levels under control. I had my gall bladder removed years before my type 2 diagnosis and developed chronic diarrhoea from the constant drip of bile into my guts. Since I went low carb/higher fat my bowels have returned to normal
