Sorry to hear - that must be so frustrating with all the prior hard work you've put in. I'm reading Gary Taubes - why we get fat at the moment. He wouldn't be a fan of the fat fast - he has it in for carbs though - even leafy green ones to some extent!

Failed again! I think I might have to forgo the salad in favour of more macadamias.

MerryLizard - I mentioned to Mr Svea sitting beside me that you seemed to be being rather tough on yourself for such a small % off the 90% (as in the 4%). We had a good peruse at your beautiful pie graph there. He says "Less than 5% is well within your error margins," which is a fancy scientific way I believe, for 'such a small percent off doesn't count as off ', surely? As it is so close to the goal, which is bloomin' high to begin with! And laudable for getting there, etc etc. But macadamias - all good in any case .
OMG OMG!
Am I out of control?
I wanted to be in deep ketosis but, is this:

Too deep?
How do I burn those ketones and get the level down to optimal?
Addendum: been in the lowering 3s for blood glucose this afternoon. Have a slight headache but, otherwise feel bloody great - apart from being at work!
Just eaten some "Woah Macadamias" to hopefully reduce the ketones.
So is 3.4 mmol / L for blood glucose alongside 4.6 mmol / L for blood ketones a cause for concern?
My slight headache is fading and other than that I have and still continue to feel absolutely fabulous!
That really is good numbers, pain and gain life balance thing. Well done to you @nomisthemanBefore bed:
Blood Glucose 4.8 mmol / L
Blood Ketones 1.8 mmol / L
Woke during the night with blood glucose 3.7 mmol / L
This morning:
Blood Glucose 4.3 mmol / L
Blood Ketones:

So very pleased with both of those! That's the lowest ever fasting blood glucose along with the highest ever fasting blood ketones for me!
Really excited to see how the ketosis progresses today - for all three of us!
Yep good read haven't read his first book yet but it sounds like your along the right track if you can remember that far back!I bought" Why we get Fat and what to do about it" last year, and then I read "Good Calories, Bad Calories" which GT wrote first, and it is so densely packed with citations from journals and research papers, the man is a Cochrane Institute all by himself! Certainly cannot take in everything in one reading, but it is like a thriller, leading you from one breathtaking misjudgement to another, with lots of academic in-fighting. In the end, I almost felt that I could understand some of it!
And certainly GT is into carb bashing - and who can blame him?
I wish he would write about this recent craze for supplements, so that I would know what and who to believe.
I only take fish oil in winter because every October, at school, out would come this enormous bottle of cod liver oil and an enormous spoon to go with it, and we would all line up for a dose 3times a week, and all from the same spoon!
Nom? - nope don't know who he is - never heard of him. Sounds like you've had far too much sauce.View attachment 14674View attachment 14675
Fasting BGL 3.8, ketones1.6 in morning
Overcompensated and made 92% and 2.8 ketones. Too much double cream cheese sauce, I think!
@Baruney, what is happening with nom?he will still be in the FF won't he?
Hola @Merrylizard1314This am 4.0mmol/L. Ketones 1.6. This is what I don't get- usually people get much lower BGLs on FF but mine tend to stay the same, or else rise slightly. And does the fall in ketones overnight mean that I've used them up? It is a mystery.
You are doing excellently well, Baruney, you are definitely inky now. You are certainly cutting your carbs to the bone!
Had a proper nom type BPC earlier, which has wiped all hunger from my mind, and I doubt if I'll even make 1000 today, having overdone yesterday by 100 or so.
