Well yes indeed!! Add all and divide by 4 maybe? 6.4?

It's wise to be cautious If you're already taking glucose lowering meds. You might need to check with whoever prescribed? Glucose typically lowers a lot for me when fasting (down to 2.6 - 4.0) and my ketones come up quite high in a quick response so I don't experience any break in the 'fuel...

Coffee. Breakfast: Few rashers of bacon, handful of roasted chickpeas. Later: Chicken thighs baked in coconut cream with chili and cilantro. Last of my blue goatsmilk cheese with cucumber and walnuts. Few squares of dark chocolate. Matcha tea. Planning an extended fast this coming week.. Have...

Mine was on the high side this morning at 5.4. (Tested an hour later, before breakfast, and it was 4.4.)

Coffee. Breakfast: Three warm hardboiled eggs with butter and parsley, quickly, before we left to drop well fed and watered teens at various activities. Handful macadamia nuts and hibiscus tea while sitting in traffic. Later: Leftover ginger beef from yesterday. 1/2 cucumber with dressing and...

4.9 this morning - fasted 18+ hours, so...for what that's worth! Hope everyone enjoys a restful weekend.

Coffee. Breakfast: Black beans, avocado & hardboiled eggs with a grainy mustard dressing. Home made, high fat yogurt. Later: Handful of macadamias, green olives, some goatsmilk cheese. Instantpot flank steak cooked w ginger, chilli and coconut aminos - which says low carb on the bottle, but...

5.0 this morning, a little higher than I've been seeing lately. Still happy with that.

Thank you for the link to that Youtube presentation on ectopic lipid accumulation! Interesting!! I did not feel at all well on a ruminant Carnivore diet even though I ate some of the best beef and lamb in the world. ;) For now I feel much better getting some of my fat from olives, nuts, seafood...

My understanding of Dr Boz's low protein approach for her most severely IR patients may be a bit simplistic? If I recall correctly, Jason Fung suggests the same - IE a low protein and high fat diet - for the most resistant people in the early stages of healing, because their bodies can not...

Coffee. Breakfast: Left over oven-cooked bacon, cold (wasn't bad actually), 1/2 avocado and a couple of hardboiled eggs. 1/2 cup warm black turtle beans soaked overnight and pressure cooked in the instant pot - dressed with olive oil, salt and vinegar. Lunch: Left over beef casserole from...

4.9 for me again. (Ketones 2.9. I'll stop measuring those now for a while but will trust they're a decent number so long as my glucose is low and I'm feeling good.)

I can identify with not being able to fast. I couldn't go five hours without feeling shaky before. I'm pre-diabetic too. I suspect I was on the verge of T2 but my lovely GP retired not long before the pandemic and there was quite a lag before I saw a new one. I wish I could say it was easy, but...

Sorry. I called it a stick blender for a decade. ...Then I watched some Youtube videos and adopted a new terminology. Of course you can use any kind of blender to get the same result!

I'm in NZ so I didn't get so far as checking out their prices but I imagined they would likely be quite expensive. It's great to have the option of a quality convenience item though, and yay for special offers!!

If you want one off the shelf I think you'd be best avoiding ones using the usual canola or sunflower oils as they can be inflammatory. Also, obviously, avoid added sugar! It can be tricky to find commercial dressings made with good oils (olive oil or avocado oil for example) but if you have an...

Coffee! (Made it extra strong this morning - slipped whilst pouring the good stuff into the press,) Bacon, eggs and a handful of roasted chickpeas @ breakfast. Homemade yogurt after. I have some flank steak slow cooking since 6am with mushrooms and herbs, so I'll have a good serving early...

4.9 this morning. *Ketones still elevated after my extended fast, at 2.4. Feeling good.

I must have undiagnosed prediabetes for years. I used to get shaky if I didn't eat every 4 1/2 hours or so. About ten years ago I discovered Dr Jack Kruse who popularised a way of eating (he called it a "Leptin Reset") which involved eating the bulk of your daily protein in the morning - along...

Finished an extended fast (48hrs) at midday and had sardines w olive oil, mustard, salt & lemon juice, an avocado, then some yogurt. I have some minestrone soup cooking for later - using up the last of the winter greens in the garden, which will make room for some spring planting. I'll make...
