I believe he stated approx. 70% fat and 30% protein

The comments section is a bit more enlightening - it's the results that were not given that show the obvious bias. I don't dispute that someone on a low card high(ish) protein diet could see a rise in their FBG, but was supposed to be low carb high fat. The upward drift, is that from their FBG...

You may find the following interesting - especially with reference to the supposed 'muscle wasting' effects of a low carb diet: http://www.ketotic.org/2014/12/the-effect-of-ketogenic-diets-on.html

http://www.rd.com/health/diet-weight-loss/why-low-carb-diets-arent-the-answer/ IMHO, an utter load of tosh - very lazy journalism. I doubt whether the author bothered to do any proper research before putting pen to paper.

I use 300ml of double cream to a packet of sugar free jelly, and eat 1/3rd at a time (love the stuff - even the lime flavour ). Well worth the 1.6g of carbs...

That was Professor Tim Noakes. Very easy to listen to; the bit re. the Australian cricketers is right at the end:

My energy levels are fine (giving that I'm hypothyroid) but then again I don't over exert myself. If you haven't already, check out Drs Stephen Phinny and Jeff Volex on YouTube - they have done a other of work with elite athletes and lchf.

I have a very restrictive diet , which isn't a problem for me as I'm not a foodie. I never eat fruit, and hardly ever eat veg- mostly eggs, sausages (Black Farmer's), olives, olive oil, macadamia nuts, double cream, steak. Below is yesterday's input (I enter everything under breakfast).

I understand your need for exogenous insulin. I had the same problem with high(ish) blood sugar while low carbing - I could only resolve it by upping the fat (circa 80%), keeping my protein levels to approx. 15%, and my carbs to no more than 5%.

As a type 1, you will always need to take insulin, but the amount that you'll require will be greatly reduced if you cut out the carbs. Type 1's, on a high carb diet, run the very real risk of becoming insulin resistant - with all the complications of hyperinsulinemia....

Up your fat intake until your weight stables

Hi From what I've read, your triglysoride level would indicate that near on 100% of your LDL particles are the 'big fluffy, good' type - check out Professor Ken Slkaris (on Youtube. There's a video relating to blood test results). The up to date 'gold standard' markers have changed yet again...

This may help:

Most GPs know less about the thyroid than they do about diabetes . You could post your thyroid numbers on Healthunloced (thyroid UK section); the people on there (like here) are a mine of information. Agree re. BMR; a guess at best. Another thing to take into consideration, is that the...

TBH I don't bother anymore. The virus(es) mutate that much, for me, it's not worth it.

The standard tests miss an awful lot of people (myself included). They usually only check for TSH (which says more about the pituitary than the thyroid); T4 and FT4 (free T4). The most biologically active thyroid hormone is T3 (which they don't usually test for??). The thyroid (if working...
