Hello guys I just thought I would say a big Hi! Here to learn and share.. Main interests are the ketogenic diet and diabetes. Please say hi

Question: If i eat a low carbohydrate diet on a 23:1 routine (so I just have one meal a day of, for example, steak, savoy cabbage and butternut squash at around 6pm, which gives me a total calorie count of around 800 calories), am I fasting every day or just on a reduced calorie diet? Since...

Dear all, I am pretty much confused with my results and afraid what to do next. Briefly, I am Type1 for 22 years, 34y old, athlete (endurance sports). Considering I never found a formula for glucose management, I decided to cut out carbs maximally. So, from after this last Christmas, the...

Hello. Reading about different diets for diabetics I'm confused which is the best one for T2DM. I'm convinced that it should be low carb. But apart from that what about fats and proteins? Should they be low, high or normal and why? There is lot of buzz about LCHF and also about low fat. How is...

I have recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I had a HbA1c of 52 at the end of August, and a cholesterol level of 4.7. i went on a low fat diet, dropped 11 pounds, then the weight loss stopped. I looked for help online and discovered the LCHF lifestyle. I started a ketogenic LCHF diet...

So today was a hard day. I just wasn't into it. I'm new to the LCHF after a big gap of falling off the wagon. I have been back at it for 2 weeks, stricter than ever. Today I had the "keto flu", felt lethargic, miserable, and just not in the mood. But I stuck with it. About lunch time my boss...

the statistics published 27 September 2016 http://www.foodandnutritionresearch.net/index.php/fnr/article/view/31694 it is far too complicated for me to really grab it all, but maybe some higly intelligent person in here can get the essenses and give an abstract... but it sure is interesting...

Hello all! Last spring I tried the ketogenic diet; I wanted so much to see and feel all of its benefits for my type 1 diabetes. Indeed, my blood sugar was so nice compared to the usual fluctuations that I have! But the problem is that I had side effects that would not disappear. Headaches...

I haven't been diagnosed although I have some abnormal postprandial blood sugar patterns. I've been eating (mostly) low carb for a few months now (and before that ate medium low carb). I noticed that since then my Blood Sugar typically rises to 110 (6.1) - 125 (6.9) at the 1hour mark and then...

Hi there everyone, I've been looking into different diets for diabetes as I don't feel like LCHF is good for the body. It just doesn't equate to health, to me. I can't see how all that fat and salt can help the body overall and even though it might lower blood glucose and keep diabetes in...

Hello everyone, I was diagnosed Type 2 diabetic a month ago. I'm 31. It's only just become real the past two weeks and I can't stop crying and having panic attacks (already a very anxious person and am also withdrawing from Citalopram so that might be the reason I'm so highly strung about...

I have just started a LCHF diet, so I am learning a lot of new things. One thing I find difficult is references to "net carbs". I understand that net carbs is total carbs less fibre, but on a lot of nutrition labels fibre is greater than total carbs. I have seen advice not to touch any product...

Hi everyone, I've been a type 1 diabetic for 40 years (first diagnosed in 1976). During that time I have faithfully followed the NHS guidlines applicable at various times but, always found my daily type 1 diabetes management very difficult to control my HbA1c at the required levels. Over the...

I lost a lot of weight last year, about 30Kg, from 100Kg down to 70Kg. This was on a strict calorie counting diet based on GI. Now I have started to gain weight because I have relaxed a bit. I would like to try a low carb diet, but I just love bread. Not the white plastic stuff but wholemeal...

Hi Its 7 months since I was diagnosed type 2 and things are getting better almost every day. I have, as it seems most people have, done alot of research. read alot of stuff asked questions and if i am honest i think I have diabetic brain info overload, so I have in essence created some very...

I'm new on here so not up to speed with all the acronyms. My BMI is about 24, weight 63 kg and height 163cm. Switched to LCHF to try and bring fasting BS down. Have had a Glucokinase test as seemed not to fit typical T2 but not that although letter says "does not exclude other types of MODY" No...

I booked onto a local x-pert course with some misgivings, having read the experiences of some of the members of this site and having myself been reasonably successful with a LCHF type diet. I was expecting regressive advice. However, one of the first things that the leaders of the course said...

Hi everybody Just a gentle reminder that its just 2 weeks now until the picnic in Regents Park London Would be really good to see lots of new faces at this one, please vote in the poll so we have a vague idea of numbers Bring along, picnic blankets and whatever food and drink you would like...

Hi This is my first post and I am interested to hear the views of others who may have been in the same situation. I am aged 69 I have been T2 for around 20 years. I have always had fairly good BS control and have basically only ever had to take 80mg of Nidem (gliclazide) twice a day all that...
