    not sure how well this website will be liked, but its a source if insulin index: https://optimisingnutrition.com/food-insulin-index-2/amp/ some match sugar and carb % other foods behave differently, I believe they spike insulin and igf-1(i think) to tell the body to grow, and fish is even...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    not sure about directly or used by liver, I believe as you said used for gluconeogenesis, but if we can reduce these available incomplete amino acids, the body will have to use its stores other than the dietary we eat daily, I don't know how to explain things as a scientist or doctor would...

    DKA in type 2

    I just remembered someone saying that when ketones are present naturally (fasting), the sugar level will be low, but if u drink ketones with high sugar in the blood not a nice mix, but I did not know there was a 4mmol cap, regardless of how much you take?

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    this guy is not a doctor, his wife had type 1 and he decided to do something about it, accuracy I don't know. But since there isnt many insulinic index available, it's something. Read and judge for yourself: https://optimisingnutrition.com/food-insulin-index-2/amp/

    New T2 but confused and quite fed up

    careful with almond milk they are putting organic maltodextrin in them, and they only have 2% almonds so whats the point. store bought guacamole is filled with things that spike blood sugar and insulin as are lots of foods u buy. fruit juices even home squeezed not worth at the moment. let...

    New T2 but confused and quite fed up

    hello, I am new here. Check some videos from Dr Robert Lustig, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas they might help you. As for exercise walk a bit don't overdo it. If you have a gallbladder going towards a clean keto diet is a good choice. Those carbs you are eating need to go, try eating a couple eggs and...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    let me try to remember, I am not talking bout using protein for glucose as a necessity, what I saw in the video has to do with "usable" protein, in order to be used u need a complete set of 9 or 10 amino acids, in a whole egg for example 50% of the protein in that egg can match this sequence...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    the meter measures glucose, the holy grail is insulin, it seenms fructose is worse than sugar when it comes to fatty liver, my goal was keep insulin low as long as possible, since both spike insulin I cut them off. I am old I wanted a slightly faster approach, a month without meat and fruits did...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    its a natural response, you eat protein the body wants to grow, so it releases insulin, growth hormone etc etc

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    sorry, almost missed your message, new here xD, ok so and remember I am a person not a doctor so I will try to type as best as I remember.... the excess glucose is a symptom of too much sugar intake, what we need to address is not "just" the excess sugar but the raises in insulin in the body, u...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    I see your point, for about a whole month a few months back I would come home eat a whole coconut(takes time to chew), while chewing I would make a huge bowl with various salads and veggies(takes time too) and while chewing that I would make a HOMEMADE guacamole and eat, a couple times if still...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    apologies I am new here and there was some restriction about posting links, but if you want some reference look for videos of Dr. Robert Lustig, Dr. Pradip Jamnadas, they are very good, in regards to the protein conversion itself it's a tough call cause I listened to a good 600 videos whilst...

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    huge spikes from carbs yes, I was addressing more about the presence of insulin as we eat proteins, since the question was about not staying in ketosis, and I believe in the presence of insulin the body cannot burn the belly fat for ketones.

    Newly diagnosed but changing lifestyle

    my thought and I could be wrong, IF daily, and drink a bit just after your meals, or sacrifice a meal for drinking (moderately), a few beers with some snacks in place of a meal, and not everyday, just my guess tbh. And the days you eat be as nutritious as u can.

    Prediabetes Can’t stay in ketosis

    I eat meat, but in the interest of reducing insulin in the body I stayed away from it for a month as I did for fruits, now I'm at a better weight, I am back to them, moderately.
