I think I'm one of those people who is very sensitive to protein and am trying to put a figure on how much I can tolerate in a meal. I know a lot of people have a rough idea of their carb tolerance but does anyone know their protein tolerance? Be interesting to hear from other super protein...

Haven't long been diagnosed. At diagnosis it was off the scale, 118. Come down to 48 about 3 months later but haven't had one since. Don't think it will be great though as when I test it is never perfect

Lots of eggs, cream, cheese, meat & nuts (lower carb nuts). Small amounts of berries. For my lunch today I had 2 chicken breasts and cheese. For my dinner tonight I plan to have cauliflower fritters with cream cheese. Just tested and I'm 7.5 after eating a small lunch over 3 hours ago...

I will check him out. Thanks for that.

Hi. Runners who do high mileage tend to lose their muscle mass and look slightly underweight. I just want to keep my weight but am struggling because it spikes my glucose levels when eating more than I currently do. You're right of course I need to add more protein and fat but that's what is...

Ha ha I doubt he's a runner

Hi HSSS. Probably because I burn alot of calories running and am losing muscle mass & small amount of weight. You might be correct about my meals not being as lchf as I think. Will have to start counting carbs at meal times to measure my tolerance more accurately

Hi guzzler. I might be being pedantic but I didn't say 'the body shape of runners on lchf' I said 'I don't like the body shape of runners and with lchf this is exactly the shape I'm taking'. I basically don't want to lose any more weight, especially muscle mass, as I dont think it looks great...

Hi all I'm currently 69kgs 5'7" and love running. I don't like the body shape of runners and with lchf this is exactly the shape I'm taking. I struggle to keep my glucose levels in range and any deviation from lchf sends them through the roof. I am probably not eating enough, although not...

I told this to my diabetic nurse, she wanted to discharge me because my numbers were good. I explained to her that I am managing my diabetes, it hasn't suddenly gone away!

I'm a newish t2 (about 10 weeks) and am controlling my bg with lchf. I initially struggled to get my numbers down but now they are fine. When I go off the rails, happened twice from drinking too much beer, my bg has gone up to 15 mmol/l but has gone back down to 5 the next day. Is this...

Either I am missing something, which is probably the case, or the way t2 is diagnosed doesn't make sense!? If for example I control my blood glucose through making good choices and get a good hba1c then my doctor would say I'm not diabetic anymore. Surely this is incorrect? My logic says the...

Hi I'm a newly diagnosed t2 who does a fair bit of running (about 15 miles a week at the moment) and am currently eating less than 50g carbs per day. I haven't noticed any difference in my perceived effort but of course everyone is different. I'm assuming I'm in ketosis due to my diet but I...

Will do. Thanks for all your comments. Still got a lot to learn

Surely if that model is to be believed then weight would be irrelevant? Only doing it couple of weeks, trying to get carbs to about 50g although I haven't mastered recording my food diet yet.

Ahh I thought it might have been a gross over simplification. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Iv'e eaten my fair share. Yes i'm doing the LCHF diet at the moment with mixed success, in terms of controlling blood sugar, but still early days. I'm not specifically worried about that problem just wondering if I could believe what Dr Fung was saying

I consider myself reasonably fit, am 72kg with lowish body fat (19%). I have run and done weight training all my life (i'm 34 years old). I'm thinking that is not a typical stereotype for fatty liver?

In my attempt to learn as much as I can about diabetes I have come across Dr Fungs work and am enjoying the level he is pitching at as he is helping me understand a complex subject. I am having trouble with one area though. With his model of the cells, mostly of the liver, being like a balloon...

Thanks for all the responses, much appreciated. Got a lot to learn!!!
