the meter measures glucose, the holy grail is insulin, it seenms fructose is worse than sugar when it comes to fatty liver, my goal was keep insulin low as long as possible, since both spike insulin I cut them off. I am old I wanted a slightly faster approach, a month without meat and fruits did not kill me.
let me try to remember, I am not talking bout using protein for glucose as a necessity, what I saw in the video has to do with "usable" protein, in order to be used u need a complete set of 9 or 10 amino acids, in a whole egg for example 50% of the protein in that egg can match this sequence, the other 50% cannot and will become sugar. I hope I used the words right.
this guy is not a doctor, his wife had type 1 and he decided to do something about it, accuracy I don't know. But since there isnt many insulinic index available, it's something. Read and judge for yourself:
oh yes, I have read his stuff before. He was on this forum for a while I believe. Thank you for reminding me.

So you’re saying the proteins that aren’t a complete set and directly used as protein/amino acids are converted automatically to glucose? Pretty sure that’s not how it works. Yes a human needs a full complement of amino acids but they don’t all have to come from one food in one sitting. Nor does it render protein unusable if that item isn’t a “full set”, nor automatically make it convert to glucose via gluconeogenesis which is, at the very least predominantly, demand driven. Ironic coming from vegan sources as plants rarely provide the full set and mostly have amino acids missing.
not sure about directly or used by liver, I believe as you said used for gluconeogenesis, but if we can reduce these available incomplete amino acids, the body will have to use its stores other than the dietary we eat daily, I don't know how to explain things as a scientist or doctor would describing processes 100% accurately in detail, I got the gist of it while watching tons of videos, sorry for that.
not sure how well this website will be liked, but its a source if insulin index:
Sorry but what you’re saying is making no sense at all to me.
Going back to your post. Two weeks is nothing in terms of weight loss and keto. Initially loss is more water than fat. And then your body heals metabolically then the fat loss occurs. It’s not at all unusual to not lose much in the first few weeks and then go on to lose successfully. Unfortunately stories of huge initial losses make us all expect them and that’s simply not the case for us all. The more insulin resistant and messed up our hormonal and endocrine systems are the more it stands to reason it takes time.
let me try to find one of the videos where I saw it, maybe you can male better sense from there, althouh the guy is not a "real doctor" if you willing to watch at least gimme a few minutes.
