Around 8mmol mark but still droppingIt sometimes takes our bodys a few days or weeks to adapt to a big change in diet. How are your blood glucose levels looking?
Around 8mmol mark but still dropping
Its actually rising lol now 10.1Take heart in the improved bg levels. I felt the same way for a few days when I first made the changes but I made the mistake of not increasing healthy fats enough so in came the higher fat snacks to help, cheese has been my go-to.
Its actually rising lol now 10.1
Around 8.4mmol before and 10.1 laterWhat actually did you eat, and what were you before you ate?
What were the veggies...Around 8.4mmol before and 10.1 later
Veg and some pork chops
That's alright then, no increase over 2.0 mmol/l. You might want to go for bonebroth and coconut milk... If you're feeling rough, you're probably going through carb-flu (or keto flu). Your body adjust to less carbs, and it's really a bit of detox... And it feels like the flu. Achy muscles, headaches, weeing a lot... It'll last a little while, but it does mean that what you're doing is working. Carbs hold on to water, and as you're not eating those you're shedding water-weight. That's a good thing, but it does leave you a little dehydrated and low in electrolytes/salt. Hence the broth and coconut milk. It'll make you feel better. It's no fun, but this will pass and I promise you, it is worth it. I had more energy, less panic attacks, and beautiful bloodsugars on the other end. And no carb-cravings. Hang in there, don't give up!Around 8.4mmol before and 10.1 later
Veg and some pork chops
Don't forget anything that makes a bellow, bleat or squeal etc.Don’t forget a nice ribeye steak
Do you have an alert for every time the word bacon pops up on the forum?Streaky.
Bacon......
My bacon is called "Cooking Bacon", it's like a box of chocolate ya don't know what you are going to get.Streaky.
looks great .So it looks like the Keto Flu, which is like an alcoholic coming off of the booze. Your body has to build new mechanisms for a different way of eating. What I did if I was hungry was to preference white fish, especially after a walk. The bone broth advice is good, otherwise some salt perhaps on meat or fish (your electrolytes could be out of sync).
Don't forget you can have every type of tea or coffee (recommend black). Sparkling water is great as well (make sure it is sparkling not soda). The ribeye advice above is just perfect, I had this this afternoon - local farm Ribeye Steak, Chips, Mushrooms, Onions, Broccoli, Cauliflour (the chips are made from butternut squash roasted with olive oil and some salt, I promise this is unbelievably tasty) with home made flaxbread topped with cream cheese, cheddar cheese and, local farm butter and marmite:

I had this at 16:00 and even after a walk I am still stuffed 6 hours later. As you can see potato chips and bread have been replaced. The chips were just as easy to make as the ones that raise blood sugar and the bread took 1.5 minutes in the microwave then a further minute under the grill (the picture doesn't convey but this is around 4 inches of bread at around 5 grams of carbs).
