keto diet

I tried cauliflower last year and then mashing swede for the top of sheperds pie but personally I find that mixng swede and celeriac gives the best potato like flavour! celeriac is 2.2g carbs war and swede less than 5 so well low carb to make! This i made with more than a kilo of both combined...

Like many on this forum, I was showing signs that my body was ailing after following a low fat high carb diet, and I was unable to lose weight. A year ago I was pre-diabetic (HbA1c of 42) and apart from Insulin Resistance and being overweight, had other signs of metabolic syndrome: increased...

I’ve been Keto for 3 months now and done well on it, but colder UK weather means salads with olive oil or homemade olive oil mayonnaise aren’t quite so appealing! Also, I’m not able to eat cheese (except cottage) but do stock grass-fed butter, double cream and coconut oil. Also, I’ve recently...

Hi guys, I'm T1, have been for 8 years. I've been experimenting with low carb/keto meals and like the effects on my blood sugar, but I'm experiencing a bit of a mental block. Just for reference I'm looking to lose ~10kg. I've always been taught ketones are bad so the idea of having high ketones...

My GP was happy I went Keto short-term to lose weight, but concerned that my LDL would rise so wasn't keen on long-term Keto. I researched and put together the following to put before him should my next blood test show elevated LDL. I hope it is of use/interest to others...

I found this so informative. Somewhat technical, but covers insulin resistance treatment, lower oxidation, better saturated fat processing, cancer avoidance and low LDL risk in people doing Keto. According to the YouTube details: Professor Jeff Volek is a Professor at The Ohio State...

I’ve been on a Keto diet for a few weeks now, and progressing well in terms of weight loss, but I have a query about the effect of calorie intake….. I gather that if “conventional” low-fat low-calorie diets are adhered to, then after a while the body somehow becomes more efficient and does what...

Hi everyone, I’ve only just registered but have been avidly lurking for 2-3 months. I have learned such a lot in that time and thank you all for sharing such valuable info and advice! I started to take my Type 2 diagnosis (of a couple of years) seriously when my HBA1C came back as 102 in March...

when we are travelling or when we are outside, it should not become a challenge to enjoy/order a Keto friendly coffee without losing the taste of it... Requested for a Latte with double cream instead of Milk when I wanted to enjoy a nice *bucks coffee. Are there better ways to bend rules and...

Hi, I am diabetic for 17+ years and I used use Insulin + tablets. But...story took a great turn..... Started ketogenic diet 1 month back and stopped all the medicines on the first day itself. On the first day FBS was 178 and now its around 110 to 130. My questions are 1. How long it takes to...

http://uk.businessinsider.com/why-low-carb-diets-can-damage-your-health-2017-12 I think eating (processed) carbs isn't healthy and damages the health of some people, and just because we have become accustomed to it doesn't make it "normal". Agree? Video transcript: Rachel Clare: So the...

Hi, I have been following a Keto diet for three weeks as a Type 1 Diabetic Vegan. I just tested my keytone level with Ketosticks sticks and it measured 4 (see attached, its fourth colour from the left). I am confused as to when it is dangerous for me to do this. I have lost 4kg since I...
