Have you seen a medical professional about this?

Bear in mind that even normal fasting i.e sleeping for 7-8 hours can still see DP. Fasting levels are the trickiest and often the last to improve. You are doing well, you got this.

This is probably down to Dawn Phenomena (liver dump). This is a normal response, the body is giving you energy supplied by your liver by way of glucose to get up and start your day. A ~1mmol rise is quite good at this stage. Other times you may see this is when; you have had a poor night's...

I stopped reading at 'Harvard Chan'.

I suggest you replace your meter, you are on a med that can cause hypos. Boyfriend said 800 cals, that is restricted. Keto was mentioned, that is restricted. To do both at the same time is unwise imo. You must have been so very hungry for those nine months.

So you have been on a calorie restricted and carb restricted (Keto) diet for 9 months and now you're feeling poorly?

On those medications but have not been prescribed a meter?

UHT stands for Ultra High Temperature. It is a way of pasturising foodstuffs.

Aye, we all have a line to draw. I cut out the sugar in tea and switched milks but to give up being a Guzzler? Not this side of Hades!

I remember switching back from skimmed to full fat, it takes a wee while to get used to it again but the addition of double cream was no problem at all :).

May I ask why you prefer to use the skimmed milk?

Which is why it is important to say again that one should choose a level that one is happy with. No use striving for particular levels if it makes you miserable in the long term. As is oft said here, this is a marathon not a sprint.

Poor night's sleep? Higher temp or humidity during the night? Brewing an infection, perhaps?

Counting carbs is not like counting calories, no difference between men and women but every difference between us all. Lower carb is considered to be anything under roughly 130g per day. How much lower than that you go depends on how you personally react to carbs and to the medications you...

Fantastic presentation. New science, new knowledge and full explanations from Paul, as always. Thanks for posting.

I have tried with pecans and they were ok for me, as always test a couple of times to make sure. Almonds and walnuts seem to go down well for me too.

No disgust. This endeavour is not easy at the beginning. Carbs are addictive and so convenient that it is very easy to slip back to habits that can be life long. Stand tall, dust yourself off and start again. Snacks should be low in carbs and higher in healthy fats with a bit of protein...

Just to clarify, because the gentleman is a LMHR does not necessarily mean his TC is screechingly high all the time, this is not the same as Hypercholesterolaemia. He stated that all his markers inc CAC were very good.

Take, for instance, the humble egg... Interesting article on on the state of research today. https://undark.org/2019/07/18/science-of-eggs/

My advice would be to eat more protein and more healthy fats. The protein along with some resistance exercise will help you build muscle, and more healthy fats will allow your body to to stop accessing your own body fat stores. May I ask why no egg yolks? Edited typo.
