And it almost seems too good to be true but my blood sugar was 5.7mml/mol(?) This was taken around an hour and a half after eating and I did have a few carbs today. Is this good? Or can they sometimes be inaccurate

I've just been to get my blood test. I was meant to have my blood sugars checked aswell but the nurse stupidly didn't include that but that's another story. I've been on a keto diet for 2 and a half months now which I've been fairly strict on but there have been a few occasions where I slipped...

I have no idea what to get or how to get started in measuring my blood sugar. I've been putting it off because I don't like the thought of pricking my finger all the time. I always thought of my prediabetes as something I can just counteract by losing some weight and eating right. Do I really...

I use the recipe on ruled.me it tastes good but be aware that the portion sizes are very small for some reason. I used double the ingredients ie 4 servings rather than 2

I don't check my blood sugars as I'm not diabetic. I'm prediabetic but going to get my blood sugars checked from GP soon. Hopefully that will give me my answer

Sometimes events make it really hard not to cheat. Parties or holidays. I have cheated on average once a month but I know I should be doing better. Its not like I'm craving carbs but it's more just impulsiveness. I'm meant to be doing keto and I know I'm not really meant to be cheating. I...

When you say a couple of times do you mean literally a couple of times? And over how long? I don't want to cheat but sometimes in certain events it seems hard especially when other people are providing the food. My family are huge foodies so it's making it hard. I cheated once a couple of weeks...

I did it for the first time after a couple of months. Got drunk on whiskey and when I was hungover craved some carby stuff. There's a couple of events over the next few months where it could go wrong. If I was generally low carb but not quite ketosis would that be sufficient? I don't think it...

I cheated once already and there's a couple of events coming up including Christmas which will make it hard for me to sustain from carbs. I've looked at the benefits of ketosis but I don't see much difference from that and staying low carb with the occasional off days. I don't get carb cravings...

Are you trying to lose weight? If so how often do you eat out

Yeah I think I'll take this as a learning curve. I can't help takeaways though in general I crave it too much.

Any thoughts on mattar paneer? (Cheese peas and paneer)

Excuse the spelling. If you're not sure what it is it's got cheese peas and paneer. I know its got some carbs but worried how many though. I ate tonight a whole container of tandoori mixed grill and then 3/4 of a mattar paneer. I seem to be having Indian once a week because I just get in the...

Thanks for this very helpful

I've made a similar thread before but hoping for more responses this time. If I had a weekly takeaway of say Indian mixed grill would that be ok? Is there a rule about cheat days on keto. Or does it not matter aslong as you don't have carbs. I think I've been addicted to MSG for way too long...

I don't stuff my face to the extent I probably could but I do have a lot. I guess it's a stupid question but if I'm under my calorie goal then it's fine. I presume the carbs are low too. I have pure meat including chicken lamb/beef and pork

I had 3 in the past 3 weeks so far. 2 have been at my dad's so I had no choice. But I wasn't really in the mood for cooking tonight so ordered a mixed grill. I was just wondering if this is packed with calories or not? I don't have naans or rice so I'm not too worried about the carbs. But if I...

I'm pretty much a novice at cooking. I would like a simple sauce I could do to compliment gammon or steak something with cream and low calories. I'm on a low carb diet aswell so would have to have virtually no carbs. Something I can whip up in a couple of minutes with very few ingredients would...

Yeah I'm using myfitnesspal. I either think I'm eating too little or too much. To be honest it's such early days to say how many calories I've been having. But I don't know what to aim for really. If it's any help I exercise once a week for about 15 minutes but it's quite vigorous I'm 205lb/93kg...

What's the best calorie deficit to have? These past few days it's been averaging a 600 deficit. Initially I thought it would be too low but now I'm worried it may be too high. I really want to get off to a good start but I know this is a marathon not a sprint. I was losing about a lb a week...
