Might me a long post. I purposely kicked myself out of ketosis this morning, and feel much better. I have been doing strict keto for two months now and while I was losing weight, I felt terrible. I initially managed my type 2 diabetes through low carb not keto eating, so total net carbs were about 50g a day, total carbs being 70g and calorie counting, which I still do. All carbs from low GI foods, carbs always buffered with a bit of fat. When I wasn't doing keto, my A1c test read lower then when I was, by two points, but that could just be reading bias as well as endo said small jumps happen.
I have given up artificial sweeteners, protein bars, and soy products in the past 6 months and my gut feels better. I have monitored myself this morning, haven't need to urinate badly and feel fine. Today's eating will look like this, tad higher in carbs, but all low GI just not low enough to achieve ketosis.
Also dealing with a bad case of oral thrush, which flared the same time I went keto, which shouldn't happen, but it seems every time I go keto oral thrush comes back which is weird.
Breakfast: Two black coffee's, one pepermint tea. 40g traditional rolled oats, 35g whey protein concentrate powder, 170g full fat greek yoghurt. I have eaten this breakfast before, for 6 months, during which time I got the A1C reading of 26 so it seems to work
Lunch (planned): sardines 74g in spring water, 100g raw tomato, 133g raw celery.
Dinner (planned): 4 XL eggs, 63g shortcut bacon, 200g mushrooms, 100g capsicum, 50g onion.
