I use my Apple Watch to track the calories when I’m working out

Do people check the moment they wake up or just before they eat breakfast? Sometimes it can be at least 90mins between getting out of bed and eating for me

I’ve tried to find the answer to this question but can’t seem to narrow it down. I am 2 months in to a Keto lifestyle after being diagnosed as prediabetic. I have my next HbA1c in a month and don’t want any surprises so have decided to start measuring my blood glucose levels. My question is...

Patience I’d definitely difficult! But thank you, it’s good to know I’m not the only one :-)

Thanks, I’ll take a look at the link you’ve posted

Thank you, I’ll check it out

No, no kidney disease thankfully

If I’m keeping carbs at no more than 20g and then reducing the amount of fat, how do I keep the protein at the right amount? I’ve read a lot about protein being too high and gluconeogenesis....

I measure too for this very reason! Oddly enough just looking in the mirror doesn’t seem to help me- I certainly didnt seem to notice the weight piling on! :-) The measurements have also stalled and there doesn’t appear to be any noticeable difference in the comparison photographs either.....

Thank you

19g of carbs. Should increase my calorie intake in your opinion? To what? Im presuming I should then maintain no more than 20g of carbs a day whilst keeping the high fat moderate protein ration?

19g of carbs for around 4 weeks solidly now, the other weeks have been interrupted by me getting used to carb content of things and burgers in NYC :-) Are you suggesting that I lower my calorie intake even further to eat less fat?

I haven’t measure blood glucose yet. I am overweight by about 3 stone so I presumed that any exercise in general would lead to weight loss as I’ve done a complete 180 from doing nothing to becoming very active..

I was diagnosed prediabetic just under two months ago. I am working on macros of 5% carbs, 20% protein, 75% fat. I weigh and log EVERYTHING that passes my lips (much to the amusement of my colleagues when I insist on putting my own milk in when they make a cup of tea.) my calorie goal is 1500...

I never had butter on my sandwiches, I didn’t like the texture of it on bread

It was @Key_master_ who stated this in response to my thread so I’m afraid I can’t give you all the information. All I know it that from eating eggs everyday for the last week I have felt like a different person! Sticking to a rigid low carb high fat diet has given me so much more energy

I’m prediabetic currently so insulin isn’t a concern for me but I am considering monitoring my blood glucose moving forward after advice from this forum. I’ll keep and eye on prawns just in case.

Thanks, there’s so much info out there it can actually be hard to narrow it down to what is useful and what’s isn’t

Yes, you are right. I got the diagnosis last Thursday and it was a complete shock but the kick up the bum I need to make some changes. Thanks for the tip, my current scales do this but I’ve never faffed around with them. I will definitely pull out the instruction manual and work it all out...

I’m not sure I can bring myself to eat cheese with butter on [emoji5] but I’ll give it a try if all else fails!
