It appears that when it comes to protein, Its like what an Elephant appears to be to 6 blind men. Each one is absolutely right, but all differ in what they believe an Elephant looks like. My N=1 on protein is that not only does it not spike me, it does not affect my Ketone levels either. For...

Ben Bikman's theory is the only explanation I have, for having, My fasting reading of this morning, PP reading of last night in the middle and the ketone readings. As you can see from these images. Edited to add that I am ashamed to state that I went for 2nd and 3rd helpings, and they were quite...

I have fallen head over heels and I'm in a torrid affair with Pork shoulder joints at the moment. (I used to shun it pre-dox because in my 'mis-educated' opinion it had an unacceptable meat to fat ratio...little did I know;)) I am also finding out that, protein and I are down like four flat...

The best protocol is what YOU can do. When it comes to IF, my position is that there no use aiming for the ideal, if your rate of adherence to that ideal is 0% or lower. If what you can do is 12hrs that is perfect for you. It means that during those 12hrs, you are not ingesting any food which...

Have you had your thyroid function checked out? Some of the symptoms you mentioned in your post, is usually a corollary of thyroid issues of some sort. The cold hands and thinning hair stood out as one of the issues that raises a red flag when the body's thermostat is impaired somewhat. Take a...

As an aside, I recently learned that there's a difference between Cacao and Cocoa powder. I had always assumed the difference was merely language. According to https://www.foodmatters.com/article/raw-cacao-vs-cocoa-whats-the-difference apparently not. Edited to add; The carb values in cocoa...

When one considers the fact that, people, whose readings are firmly in the pre diabetic threshold still have complications, I believe its wise that people should be proactive about this condition. A T2DM diagnosis is merely indicative that a persons BG levels has crossed the line into the...

After years... no decades of shying away from strength training. I stopped stuffing my ears with my fingers, and going la-la-la-la!! and decided to take the plunge. I consulted with one of the FT at the gym, who has devised a plan for me. The first week was haaaard..I ached in places I did not...

Leaning closer to whisper in your ear.:playful: I lost weight so fast upon going low carb, I had to put a knot in mine at some point:banghead:....they would not stay up for love nor money, I was effectively needing to go down in size every few weeks and I was tired of constantly shopping for...

You can power your body with your own body fat if you have it or with the fats you eat in your meals if you don't have any to spare.

Have you sought medical attention for it? I ask because I am one of those people, who blame this diagnosis for everything. Were a meteorite to fall from the sky and hit me on a bright sunny afternoon, I will blame it on my having T2DM. KWIM.

This thread made me very sleepy and its only 18:59PM.(Naa :p I killed it at the gym today:joyful: - all that hard work took it toll) I'm off to search the site for an exercise forum, hopefully I will find some nuggets of gold, on how my new passion (weight training) can further add to the...

I don't know if you have already answered this, but when you say normal what values are you talking about.

Only you know yourself well enough to decide how best to proceed.

Being as you are T1, I would see a Dr. about those symptoms. Your body is trying to tell you that something needs attention. Especially being as you are eating a ketogenic diet, albeit a well formulated one, something could very easily have gone out of whack Keto not withstanding. This last...
