[QUOTE="jpscloud, post: 1970611, member: 232698"] 16:8 today, a few walnuts at 11am, cheese omelette with spinach leaves, a few pistachios, 1 babybel cheese for lunch, lamb steak, sprouts mashed with butter, live unsweetened yoghurt with teaspoon of ground flax for dinner. Must work on protein (meat) portions, still too large. My fear of hunger is really diminished now, I know the pangs will pass and can be made better with coffee. Sugars still steady between 5 and 6, no metformin now, ketones 0.6 and 0.7. MySugr has been highlighting ketones above 0.5 as amber or red, even though I added type 2 during setup. I suppose it can't differentiate, which is a pity. Still useful to be able to record them though. I feel very comfortable with this now, but weekends are still a work in progress. I will swerve the carbs I fell for last week, hopefully. Got some pork ribs to roast, eat the meat and use the bones for bone broth, haven't time to do it today so bought some T Finest beef stock with the fewest carbs in (0.7 per portion (quarter pack), and I don't expect to have more than 2 portions). It has sugar on the ingredient list (why on earth???!!!) but quite low down and with the level of carbs listed I hope not significant. I'll try it during tomorrow's 24 hour fast and see how I get on. If it kicks me out of ketosis I'll know it was a mistake! Hope to be making my own bone broth hereafter though. Anyone have good bone broth recipes or is it really just bones and water with seasonings? On the IDM website it lists vegetables but doesn't elaborate. Since low carbing veg means above ground veg, maybe celery - how about leeks? [/QUOTE]
