[QUOTE="Ivey, post: 1797454, member: 475233"] Hi Sue, No I am not doing Keto. I did think about it and in a way I am but not really as you said I can't do the high fats. My reactive hypoglycemia comes as a rare side effect of gastric bypass surgery. The weight loss surgery so my diet was already limited and is now even more limited. I cook with either water (so lots of boiling or steaming), grilling or stir frying in olive oil, canola oil and can eat a small amount of avocados. I can't do more than 2 tablespoons of oil when cooking or I get dumping syndrome and my glucose drops. Same with Carbs. I can do one slice of regular bacon which was a lovely treat!! It's all trial and error right now with me and every time I try a new food or new method of cooking I learn what does and doesn't work for me. I eat a lot of nuts, seeds, eggs, green leafy veg, salads, canned tuna in water, salmon, lamb, chicken, small amount of carrots, peas, green beans, edamame, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, water chestnuts, mushrooms, spinach, ginger, garlic, onions, green and red peppers, water crest, cilantro etc. I have never been a big red meat fan but (I need to eat some more of it according to my doctor) I did find I enjoyed bison meat! I discovered my body's reaction to fats on my birthday when I treated myself after 2 years to 2 spoonfuls of haagen daz! I was so sad that my glucose dropped and read the ingredients and the only thing we could think of was the fat content so we tried taking me to an ice cream shop and we tested me before I ate the ice cream and by my 3rd taste I started shaking and my glucose dropped. We also tried me eating a small piece of regular full fat cheddar cheese and my glucose dropped so then we knew for sure it was the fat content. I find a lot of Keto recipes and low carb recipes on Delish and modify them to fit my needs and had been really helpful to put a bigger variety of dishes in my set. Else I would be eating eggs, tuna, salad and yogurt all day! I find now I eat more than I did pre-surgery and having to eat every 3hrs is driving me crazy. I am still not use to having to stop what I am doing to accommodate food, I resent it if I am honest. Ivey [/QUOTE]
