I am on a semi low carb about 120/day but have decided l am going to drop and sort of follow Viv and others low carb a lot more closely with my own variations to suit me. The problem is l was reading up on how good grapefruit is and works and was going to start eating half a grapefruit a day.
Will this interfere with a low carb high fat diet as grapefruit helps stop the liver storing fat... from my understanding, although from what l read l will not be storing much as the fat will power me not the carbs l am eating at present?
I am at the moment loosing weight about 2.2lbs a week which l am happy with, have a PT who puts me through a lot of groans/session and gives me homework, but my BG is between 5 and 6.5 post meals going at times to 7.5) and it is those l want to bring down. I am not due to have my first Hbag thingy till start February.
Also l refuse statins and am working to bring cholesterol down when tested in November at diagnosis they were LDL 3.2 Triglicerides 2.3
