Thanks for your replies. Good to know!

Thanks yeah good advice mate

Hi thanks for your reply, I've been doing really strict keto for a year..I'd like to think I'm fat adapted but maybe I've not been eating enough fat? I've not followed macros and I should have done to be sure. I eat 2-3 eggs in the morning, protein at every meal, 3 full meals a day consisting of...

This may sound brain dead but has anyone found a way of tolerating fruit/veg juices?? I'm aware that this is a fast hit of sugar without the fibre but just curious to see if anyone can tolerate these in moderation? Thanks

I've lost too much weight and muscle due to Keto and have become very weak. Lost muscle all over and especially around my spine. I eat plenty but my body has gone into overdrive it seems. Having to add in higher carb veg and beans and see how I go. Anyone else had thse issues? I thought I'd...

Yes I'm eating plenty, my Cholesterol is borderline high and I'm eating plenty of animal fats, Ghee, Nuts & Seeds, Olive & Avacado Oils. I've been under a huge amount of stress both physically and mentally so that has most probably increased weight loss.

Thanks for your reply as always mate. Can I ask why you'd choose Carnivore over Paleo?? One of my main concerns is to balance my gut bacteria. From what I understand, Veg and Fruit is important because of the fibre and resistant starch?

Hey thanks for your reply, My Thyroid has been tested by my GP but they tell me it seems normal. I've lost a load of weight. I want to put weight on! I eat 3 keto/low carb meals a day and snack on nuts. (Not reached the point of fasting yet). I definitely think I need to eat more carbs (hence...

Hi guys, Ok so the past year I've been doing keto/low carb with good results controlling RH. BUT....I have such low energy and fatigue which never subsided. I also have MCAS so allergies are a huge problem and my concern is Keto/Low carb has altered my microbiome negatively (even though I eat...

Thanks! Thats good to know!

Ok this is controversial but I’ve not drank any alcohol in over 18 months. Not because I had a problem but just mainly for health reasons. I realise alcohol makes a hypo more likely. But if I wanted one or two vodkas on a special occasion, is there a way of controlling any spikes if I were to...

PS...I wish I'd got a duel ketone/glucose monitor now but hey ho......urine strips aren't reliable after a while apparently

Hi there, So I've finally got myself a glucose monitor and I'm averaging 4.7 in the mornings and around 4.3 throughout the day whilst on keto. Seems pretty stable to me but I'm wondering if this is optimal for keto?? I spoke to a doctor and they said it was on the low side but they didn't have...

Yeah I dont do well with aspartame, I'm one of those over sensitive types! Was just curious if they impacted insulin at all.

Thanks for your reply mate, appreciate it. I saw my GP today and she is getting a monitor sorted for me. I wanted to ask, have you ever had any reactions to artificial sweeteners?
