You could try Bernstein's diet, which is more rich in protein? He focuses on low carb plus good amount of protein. He doesn't mention fat percentages, but advocates eating whatever fat comes along with the protein.

Another question. I already own/read Obesity Code and have read some of his stuff on his website/blog. Just wondering if it is worthwhile to purchase this book as well. Would I get much from it?

Is there any reason to purchase this book, if one already owns Why We Get Fat and Good Calories, Bad Calories?

Now that I am able to effortlessly maintain my blood glucose in the 75-90 range all day with: 1) 10 units of NPH injection every 8 hours (as basal -- fairly flat curve when summed) 2) 1200 calorie LCHF diet (10-20g carbs, 75-90g protein) 3) 2x20 minutes of walking per day And the fact I: 1)...

Read somewhere today it's the vitamin C in the cherries that reduces the uric acid. Not sure if this is the only thing in them that help or not. But I did read taking Vitamin C helps. Maybe I ought to buy some Vitamin C and try it.. warning: too much vitamin C is bad in many other ways I've...

Phinney & Volek talk about how the ketogenic diet raises uric acid levels, quite significantly even, for periods up to several weeks (depending on how long it takes to keto-adapt), in their book: The Art & Science of Low Carbohydrate Living. Usually this doesn't affect most individuals...

Need to be careful with the fasting & Keto if you are a gout sufferer. Both fasting and keto are known to raise uric acid levels and special measures are to be taken when a person predisposed to gout starts on this diet.. as I've found out the hard way. I think it is the addition of 23:1...

How do the bitter cherry capsules work? Do they lower uric acid (the source of the problem with gout) or just relieve pain? Or something else?

Having some issues with ketosis, excess uric acid and possibly the start of gout. I was wondering if anyone had any experienced with Uric Acid Meters and if I could get a recommendation for a good / reliable one. I've heard some aren't that reliable. Otherwise, I can do the...

How do you check your lean mass? I'd like to know how my muscle is affected by my diet.

When you break your fast, you just take a few nibbles at first and wait a while right? Heard it was important to break it slowly. I've never went beyond 23 hours yet though. Perhaps I should though. As my fasting blood sugars aren't nearly as good as yours.

54 pounds. (368 lb now -- next goal is 359).

I suggest to eat just enough protein to maintain your muscle mass. Low carb diet isn't about eating more protein, it's about eating large amounts of satiating healthy fats (such as butter, animal fat, olive oil, etc..) [Excess protein gets converted to glucose, via the liver (gluconeogenesis)]...

Lunch: Broccoli stuffed English Style 100% stove top frittata. (did the flip thing instead of finishing off the top half in grill / broiler.) 1) chopped up one head of broccoli, somewhat fine but not minced. 2) diced up some ham (or canadian bacon, bacon, or favorite processed meat). 3) diced...

breakfast: grilled (broiled) then stuffed portabella mushrooms. 1) preheated broiler to 500F for 5 mins. 2) put inverted portabella caps on broil/grill pan and topped with 1 tbsp olive oil each & sprinkled salt. 3) broiled/grilled for 4 minutes under 500F. (3 mins if really close to the...

Spoke too soon about it tapering off.. Wow, I just peed out over 2 1/2 pounds of water just now. I'm at 369 lb now (goal achieved next is 359 lb). For 53 pounds lost since May 9th. Crazy. I don't feel dehydrated either and the urine wasn't that dark considering how much I just peed out. I do...

I had only one meal today, breakfast: Broccoli & Spam loaded Frittata. Finely chopped broccoli fried with spam (processed pork) in 2 tbsp of butter until browned a bit. Added 6 eggs and scrambled.. when almost done I let set into an omelette/frittata... instead of finishing off under the...

How are you testing your ketones? Urine (Acetoacetate), blood (BHB) or breath (acetone)? Blood and Breath are the accurate tests. I just got the Ketonix 2015 in the mail today.. trying it out now. It's really close to the blood BHB value.. linear correlation (allegedly). e.g. my blood read...

What's the longest you've ever gone?

Good job! Yeah it will come down when it wants :) No worries. I see Butter Bob has many on insulin, which one do you recommend I watch?
