I only started this to avoid going blind.
Hey! I got svelte and gorgeous! It's addictive!
Fuel equations cannot be argued with.

I meant no harm!
I too am a new person since low carbing!
I've never had so much energy for such a long long time!
I eat to my meter and don't go above 6mmols if at all possible.
Calories are important, but when you eat 7 small meals, to not hypo, then low carb is more important than calories.
I've downsized from 38" waist to 32".
May you be as lucky as I have, to be in ketosis for so long.

Yes, I took their silly advice and had my stomach restructured. I had a Roux-en-y. I thought they knew what they were talking about.
Oh no!
All I had to do was eat to my meter.
I don't believe in ketosis. I am not ketotic, I control my DM, I lose weight.
Heigh ho, it is such a complicated business, we haven't a fraction of an idea about what it is all about.
It is so much more complicated than what the experts tell us.
All we can do is go with what our bodies tell us.
But they haven't the faintest idea!

I had a Roux-en Y years ago, lost weight, put on weight.
So I have to eat small meals.
I eat 200cals, 10g carb every 2 hours. It satisfies , I lose weight.
Supposed to be healthy, eating little and often.

I believe the more they learn, the more they cannot work out!
There is a symmetry, and a balance, whenever it goes awry, they struggle to understand.
 
Do the best we can for our health and our lives! With the knowledge we have.
We don't matter in the scale of the universe, but think for ourselves and do the best we can.
I want to live a long, fulfilling and healthy life. Who doesn't
Controlling my DM means I will live longer with less disability. How can I argue with that?
 
I am so sorry Nosher, you say you never let your BG go over 6, please tell us what your HbA1c is.
It ain't readily available.
So sorry, I have a cynical bent.
