Hello. Wow! So from the arm it was 86 and at about the same time, from the finger it was 100? These blood glucose monitors have an error of up to 15%, of I recall correctly. It could be this. From the finger, what blood glucose meter did he use?

Hello. When you say carbs, you mean total, or net carbs?

I'm a noob and I can't answer your question. I'm just writing to send a high and my best wishes that your BG will be alright. You don't have a monitor?

I'd like to try making it, too. What oil do you use? Would you share your recipe? Thank you!

Congratulations on your results! If your family is skinny as you say, then perhaps that's just the way you are, indeed. Women lose more muscle and bones than men with age, due to hormonal changes (menopause). I make an effort to keep those with exercise. So, if I lose weight, I survey those...

Yeah, I didn't mean leaving it permanently on the counter. I've meant it in the context of taking cheese to eat it at lunch, at work, when I have nothing there to keep it refrigerated. As for the other butters, I've never tried them. I should perhaps give them a go. I'll look into making my...

I'm new to low carbs and I've been perusing a section of the grocery store I wouldn't have approached in times past. Cold meat, foods like salami and ham. I remember it was said they caused cancer, due to things added to them (nitrates?). What is the latest science about this? Is it a fact...

Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'm happy to know I can take boiled eggs even without a fridge to keep them! Canned fish is a good idea, too! I'll look for a bag and ice pack to broaden my options in the future! Peanut butter can be kept outside the fridge once open? I didn't know...

Hello! I'm looking for ideas of very low carb foods I can take with me to have at work, or as a snack when hiking. I take a few nuts and 85% chocolate, but these are high carbs and I'll soon get tired of them anyway. I don't have a fridge, nor microwave available. I can cook easy stuff. Can...

Sorry for the stupid question, but what is n=1? Is it short for an experiment with only one subject? Thank you!

I hope everybody is having a good day! Since kind of self-diagnosing prediabetes, I've got a blood glucose monitor and have gone low carb high fat. I'm also exercising, but that I did before. I'm exercising less, because before I exercised every day and now I want to rest my body more. I'm...

I've just seen a video on youtube where a couple who do keto tried lots of different sweeteners and sugar and measured the spike in their BG after 30 min. They measured their BG before amd after 30 min of eating the equivalent in sweetness to 2 tablespoons of sugar. For what their test is...

I wasn't overweight. My BMI is below 24, low 23, and in my whole life, it has been to a max of, say, 25.2 in two occasions which I dealt with immediately. Long ago. I hear you. I'll keep the lchf experiment. If I lose too much weight, or become I'll, I'll look for an alternative. I'll test...

Thank you for sharing! Yay for your condition now! I'm very happy for you! I've got the book and read it! Amazing info! I've also got a meter and I'm lchf as we speak! After being afraid of too intense exercise, I got the courage to go back to the gym. My BG after a vigorous cardio work out...
