I agree wholeheartedly. Basically all the evidence is that the weight that goes onto your waist is the malevolent stuff that also hits the internal organs and leas to untold problems. I am currently eating real foods, just once a day and the effect on my waistline has been astonishing ( see...

For the last few days my daily average has been in the mid 5's , overnight usually high 4's low 5's . liver dump up to 7 -8 but not for long, Post meal high , low 6's -So pretty much all within " normal" . If I do really low carb/protein I can get daily average to be high 4's and...

If we are talking gross carbs, then mine have been gross 55g, net 34g averaged over the full two weeks. At the moment I will put up with the higher blood glucose in the quest for a smaller waist :)

What about the blood sugar limits ? what are you aiming for there?

Oops I just agreed with you LOL, I meant to say thank you ! such a klutz. A young man just picked me up and marched round a living room with me held a yard off the floor ! - never never never in my wildest dreams................ Its Saturday night " Strictly" next - I can be a diabetic...

I have NEVER had the shape I am today, through any diet even at its most successful with the lowest recorded weight (about 10 kg less than I am now.) My LCHF diet changed everything proportionately, this time round my breasts have not budged, my waits has come down as has my tummy fat. My...

In the end I think this rather depends on where one sets the limit - My goal is to bring insulin down and worry less about blood glucose unless it starts to spike horribly. If 91% of the time non diabetic people are under 6.7 mmol, and 99% under 7.8% then that is my goal too- those are both...

I was trying to aim for 30g or less and generally succeeding. Now its closer to 40g . That's because I'm trying to see if I can continue to lose weight whilst keeping blood sugars Ok - on a slightly higher carb diet because it includes the vegetables I love. if I can't so be it and I will go...

I am not at all certain, except that every website that mentions losing visceral fat talks about the importance of getting a good waist to height ratio with 50% being an ideal maximum. On diagnosis mine was 68%, before I started this diet I had got to 56% in a year of LCHF, In 15 days on...

Day 16 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6 kg, current 84.4 kg ) Waist size 86.0 cm (starting 94 cm) Weight slightly up0.1g, but Bp 106/76 ( won't take the drugs until it increases as this is too low for drugs) and waist definitely another 05cm down ( maybe more) . blood ketones...

I have found the morning liver dump does that to me and it doesnt matter whether i ate or not . Prrhaps try skipping breakfast all together for a couple of days so yiu can see wgat happens anyway ?

Day 15 over. 1600 calories today 61% fat, om 3 5g, om 6 4.6, fiber 18.1g, (target 20) carbs 38g ketones post meal 1.7mmol 97% daily nutrients (bit low on sodium and vit e) Managed an hours swim, also tried out HIT in the pool , its easier to do proper squats when you care less if you...

Unfortunately it starts right from the point of germination, conception etc of whatever food we are talking about. Man has done a whole bunch of unspeakable things to it, in the misguided belief that we were somehow able to manipulate nature for our own ends in timescales totally distanced...

https://optimisingnutrition.com/category/recipes/ this website has a whole bunch of sample meals with a low insulin load. https://optimisingnutrition.com/2015/06/04/the-goldilocks-glucose-zone/ and this one works to identify an "optimal strategy between carbs and proteins .

yeah its hard getting nuances in print ! My understanding of above would be as follows: "Your Table 2 shows that white fish (one of your "real" foods") has a FII of 43%. If I am understanding this correctly, and I may not be, it means that white fish triggers 43% of the insulin that the...

Day 15 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6 kg, current 84.3 kg ) Waist size 86.5 cm (starting 94 cm) No change in weight, BP 122/76, average BS yesterday 5.2mmol, overnight average today 4.8 mmol. Morning ketones 1.4 , ketonix 4.5 Only 1100 calories yesterday as well . One thing...

;) This paper is an interesting one, its around a meta study of the efficacy of carb counting T1 diabetes .I It makes extensive use of the same FII data I've just posted here - I can't seem to find the actual thesis just the appendices - but I thought it might be worth posting in case...

Two tins a week sounds like a good limit ! I think I might find it hard to pursuade him that far - still baby steps . I've just been through my own cupboards again and found only the one can for careful drainage - John West Mackerel in Sunflower oil - I must be learning:)

Mine drops everyday in the morning , I think that's the glucogenesis from my morning liver dump.

I agree that FBG does seem to go up a bit, I personally am heavily invested in the idea that if the weight comes down , it will be easy to fix the FBG again through dietary choices later because I can already do that, so as long as the process is keeping me within a reasonable range I'm ok with...
