Started a fairly LCHF diet last Friday. Intended on working down the number of carbs from 100 but it seems that aside from one day consuming 60g, I've been around the 30-40g mark on other days.
The reason for the post is to understand how good or bad these numbers are, and what sort of numbers I should target. :
Prior to now, on doing random fasting tests first thing in the morning, I've been around the 7.2ish mark but then one of my problems has been eating large meals late at night.
Since starting LCHF on Friday...
Fasting (days Fri-Thurs) :
6.8, 6.1, 6.2, 6.2, 6.2, 5.9, 5.7
Post-Prandial (2hrs) after evening meal (one day couldn't take reading) :
9.3, 7, 7.3, 6.6, 6.0
To recap, I'm not officially diagnosed (yet), although my last HbA1c was 55 and I am trying to change my lifestyle before repeating the test in a few months. Always been a constant junk-food eater, quite overweight, low-excersise levels.
What sort of targets should I be setting? If I start going to the gym as well (which I will be doing) - would these have an affect on the numbers?
Thanks
