Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ellenor2000" data-source="post: 2227005" data-attributes="member: 508208">whether you are lacto-ovo vegetarian or total vegetarian is largely irrelevant to your blood sugars (as long as you don't have a weird allergy to the foods you're eating on the different diets that makes you more insulin resistant). what's relevant is the glycemic load.give david unwin a ring and ask for a copy of his teaspoons of sugar charts (ok, don't literally; there's a website you can download them off of, but I forget where).whether you choose to be carnivore, all-dairy (this is a real diet that exists, and I know of someone who has had success with it, but I don't recommend it), omnivore, lacto-ovo vegetarian, bivalvegan, or total vegetarian (which I say instead of "vegan" for personal reasons), it is important to understand the glycemic load of the foods you eat, and how fast each food unleashes its effects.also, anecdotally, it can be harder to be ketogenic if you don't have animal foods because not everyone makes enough carnitine to get fats into their cells. the solution is either to supplement or to eat flesh.</blockquote>
