I looked through those last night. People like to mix up what oils to use. I saw that Dr. Ekberg has a video on MCT oil, and decided to take the slow road into LCHF, instead of the express lane that MCT offers. I "whipped" up my 1st cup this morning, using olive oil and KerryGold unsalted...

Please let me clarify… I'm new to all of this so I am reading up on LCHF diets, trying to learn what needs to be done. While I do this, I'm using the Cronometer app to help me track my nutrients and macros, and to set up meal planning. I want to stay in the 70% fat, 20% protein, 10% carb...

The only time I drank milk was on cereal, prior to my T2 diagnosis, and that was unsweetened almond milk. It's no longer in my diet now. I will give the cream a go. I read up on the coffee and it sounds yummy! I can't wait to try it! Unfortunately, MCT oil is not a staple I normally keep in the...

I'll look up what bulletproof coffee is. I haven't had any coffee for a while, because I've been mainly sipping Ito En green tea unsweetened. So the dash of double cream would be like substituting milk when whisking my eggs for an omelette?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. I'll try to incorporate them into my diet. I use olive oil mainly for cooking, and I tend to go easy on the mayo so I'll have to change my habits on that. I used to do lots of butter when I did breads and see I need to find other ways to use it… maybe on...

i've been doing LCHF since 9 July, trying to keep my net carbs betwwn >20g and <55g. I log everything into Cronometer. I try to adhere to 70% fat, 20% protein, and 10% carbs. My problem is that my readings show I'm doing 70% protein, 20% fat, and 10% carbs. i'm doing cheeseburgers, bacon...

Oh I totally agree! YouTube is a huge source of misinformation, but there are some gems there, such as Dr. Ekberg, Diet Doctor, etc. My wife has been on again off again on low carb and plant-based diets, so I was familiar with many of the concepts. Eckberg just resonated with the things that I...

Thank you so much for that chart! It's quite helpful. At first glance I was kind of deflated by the color coding indicating I wasn't doing as well as I thought I was at around 10.0 (my CGM shows that as being the top of the desirable green zone). But my graph shows that I'm starting to level at...

I was recently diagnosed with T2, and in searching for information, he was one of the first sources that I found. I think he explains the relation of glucose, insulin, and carbs better than anyone else I've seen, and I love his dry sense of humor. FWIW, using his information I decided not to...
