[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1764058, member: 196898"] Whilst it is true that the ND diet did not benefit all participants, I am not sure that anyone has yet established the cause of it. I think that any diet that gets to 800 cals/day is going to be lowish in carbs, If the aim is to achieve keto then I suppose some do have a very low personal threshold which may not be achieved. I would think that the effect of protein intake is also becoming significant in the equation, The OP is already LC diet, so the problems reported are probably not due to that. The question asked is whether to eat more to get the bgl lower, and whether to eat specifically to stimulate Stage 1 Insulin response? I think this was prompted by them initially achieving an fbg in the 5's, but saw higher levels when they cut the calories and the carbs. My response is that this was to their bgl rising during the day which is a symptom of dawn phenomenon and liver dump which many report when starting a restricted intake diet. Edit to add: The OP also tells us that the rise in bgl occurred [U]after[/U] cutting carbs to 20 g /day so they are already aware of what LC means. [/QUOTE]
