How many grams of net carbs and protein are you eating? Excess protein is converted to glucose and raises insulin.

My brother is just over 300 lbs (at 5' 11"). He's got mostly visceral/abdominal obesity, as the layer of subcutaneous fat over his tummy is fairly thin and skin is tight. As you can probably guess he's very insulin resistant, and his triglycerides of 400 mg/dL and HDL of 29 mg/dL strongly...

This morning was a record breaking morning for me! My fasting blood glucose was : 79 mg/dL (4.38 mmol/L) !! Ketones: BHB 1.6 [BAC% 0.058; Ketonix 2015: 62]. This is the best FBG I’ve ever recorded in my entire life without the assistance of injected insulin. Last record without insulin was 85...

Hi Lynx, my gout is much better now that I've been adjusting the allopurionol dose each day with a given level of uric acid in my blood. I have a decent meter (Easy Touch from Indonesia). The strips for it come in a canister of 25 for $14.50. So this makes the strips cost about $0.58 a piece...

Saturday Morning Weekly Update (11/04/2017) I've lost 11.4 lbs (5.2 kg) in the past 8 days, since starting my new dietary plan. My actual weight today was the lowest I've seen it in almost 20 years: 346.4 lbs. (157kg) 94 lbs (42.6 kg) lost total. My average daily macronutrient intake for past...

Thanks for bringing up ricing broccoli. I used it in place of the cauliflower in my Indian Chicken Curry and it tasted wonderful :). Seasoned the broccoli rice with a bit of tumeric and cumin.

No rye in it. But it tastes much like a dark rye / pumpernickel hybrid :). I like the caraway seed in it, especially for sandwiches. I hear people say insoluble fiber doesn't affect blood glucose, I hear others day that fiber carbs count. I dunno. I eat about 35g total carbs per day and 25g...

Moist, nutty, grainy & subtly sweet with a flavor profile similar to the Americanized version of Pumpernickel. Optionally add caraway seeds if you like -- I like them in it. Yield: 2 slices (1 muffin) Nutritional Information (per slice): 6.2g total carbs, 4.9g fiber, 1.3g net carbs, 6g protein...

Thank you, I own both of the first two books you mentioned and have read them. I haven't read the last one, I'll have to check that out. My relevant book collection in the order they are sitting on my shelf (sorted by date published) : The seven bolded ones are the seven I'd choose to keep if...

Regarding all this talk I've been saying about my new plan, about how I'd pretty much eat the fat that comes along with the protein and that I wouldn't be eating fat bombs: Well I should probably restate that as: I will eat the fat that comes long with protein or used as a topping for...

Regardless, he says the obese tend towards dietary fat intake of 50% for satiety. And if I don't tend towards 50% then it makes me wonder if my approach is wrong, as well as other very insulin resistant & persistently obese folk like Jimmy Moore. And actually the title of his slide during his...

Ringi, thanks for sharing. My blood glucose before I started was A1C 10 along with 200 units of insulin and metformin. Now I am A1C 4.9, zero insulin and no meds. I've lost 85 pounds so far. I have 150 pounds to lose. I owe this to the ketogenic diet (with some intermittent fasting) along...

I don’t necessarily think I can fairly listen to my body for satiation if I am eating an extra 1000 calories of fat per day beyond what Phinney says morbidly obese people tend to consume (which is 50% of macronutrient intake), versus just having the body burn adipose tissue. This is because, as...

Yeah I am familiar, e.g., with Michael Greger's reference to the frankenmouse study with respect to insulin resistance and saturated fat intake. Also he unfairly says that after going back to carb diet from high fat diet it made insulin resistance worse, without explaining it was only...
