ketosis

Both myself and my husband are type 2 and very overweight. the last two weeks we have been fasting 16:8 and 18-19:6 and slowly moving towards low carb. I have lost weight and he hasn’t lost as much, the difference being he still takes 2000mg daily and I just stopped. I suggested the failure to...

I picked up a copy of this book secondhand. It was published in 2018 in the US and gives a comprehensive, well-referenced guide to maintaining ketosis on a mostly plant-based diet. It also includes simple recipes that provide a breakdown of macros per portion including net carbohydrates rather...

Hi, everyone. I just started reading Dr. Michael Mosley 's book The Fast 800. His Channel 4 programme helped group of people diet, losing weight is very encouraging. I am currently on week 7 low carb dieting. I follow my GP's advice to take one 500mg metformin in the evening everyday until...

After being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 4 years ago, I was delighted to be told I was clear / in remission after I’d been following a low carb and very low cal diet for a while. Unfortunately, this year things went pear-shaped and a month ago discovered I was diabetic once again. I don’t...

I apologise in advance, but I only want posts in this thread from those who have actually tried the Dave Feldman protocol. My second apology is because I'm starting this thread prematurely, since I don't yet know my 'After' lipid figures. I don't even know my real 'Before' figures, since I was...

I am trying to work out how someone with TID: on a recommended protein intake of say 80 g per day will ever get low enough in carb intake to go into ketosis? I am assuming that 50% of protein will be converted by the liver into glucose = 40g Does this person have to forego any carbs in order to...

Brains Trust, just after your thoughts. Not needing a medical diagnosis as such and will not hesitate to seek medical advice if needed. But am interested in others thoughts and opinions. A little background on me: Currently 32 weeks pregnant with Baby #3. I'm 44yo and was diagnosed with...

Hi all! I've been searching on the internet for this, I've been eating less than 40g carb a day (closer to 30g most days) for a week, ketones have been anywhere from 0.1-0.6. How long did it take you to get into the optimal ketosis range when you started the keto diet, and how many g of carbs...

Hello there! I can't believe I didn't realise this community existed before! I'm on the FB page but then realised all the acion was somehwere else: here! I love the website, it got me started to understand blood glucose values, blood plasma, HbA1c, seriously, I feel like I know about biology...

I read a very interesting article today by Dr Stephen Phinney on the Virta Blog. The main point that came across was "There is no special relationship between mobilization of body fat stores (ie weight loss) and blood ketone levels". That means that it is not a good thing per se to have high...

Evening everyone, just wondered if anyone knew how to tell the difference between the two. I've just tested my ketones with ketostix an hour ago and it reads 8 m/mol. Is this dangerous? I'm on my 5th day of the Ketogenic diet. Blood sugars have been no higher than 11 m/mol this evening, and I...

Hi all. New to the Forum but not to diabetes. I just would like to ask people here what do they think of the level of knowledge displayed by the diabetic treatment teams they visit? I ask this out of frustration. In recent times I was trying to come up with ways to better manage my Blood...

Hi, I have been thinking quite a bit about going for a ketosis diet with very low carbs (about 30g/day), however some questions are still in my mind. The last time I went for 50-70g of carbs/day, my body ended up in physiological insulin resistance (IR) which in turn put me to very high BS...

Hi everyone, I'm and Insulin Dependent T2D and I've been very low carbing for about 4 weeks now. The great news is how much less Insulin I now take. For an evening meal I used to take anywhere between 20-30 units of Humalog, and now I'm around 10 or fewer units. Which is fab. And my BG readings...

Firstly i am not on medication, had read january 2016 of HAbc1 6.4 so i sore i was gonna change this naturally and not pay big pharma to kill me slowly. I was on LCHF diet for 8 months last year and lost 15 kilos and brought my Habc1 from 6.4 to 5.2 in 2 months felt amazing after 6 months on...

Hi folks, My wife is insulin resistant and became pre-diabetic two years ago. It was a big shock and since then, we have both become a lot more in touch with nutrition and food. We've been able to significantly transform our health through food. Having had a good browse around this forum...
