I personally am unable to exercise but my grandson who is not diabetic but on a keto diet will have something on the lines of a sixteen egg omelette some beef steak well say a couple of steaks then take some protein shake to the gym with him when they where open and do a four hour work out on weights he finds he does not need carbs to give him the energy for exercising.
Now he is doing the weight training in his room and eating much the same diet he bought 60 eggs the other day and has used most of them over three days and filled my fridge with beef steak and chicken.
Mind you not the diet you may recommend normally but his hobby is body building.
Poor kid is starving...

Each egg will contain about 0.6g carbs, so that's nearly 10g carbs plus protein shakes are by no means carb free. One scoop of protein powder may contain 4 or more g carbs. A standard carb allowance on a keto diet might be 20g daily, so would leave your grandson very few carbs to "spend" on vegetables (let alone fruit).my grandson who is not diabetic but on a keto diet will have something on the lines of a sixteen egg omelette some beef steak well say a couple of steaks then take some protein shake to the gym with him when they where open and do a four hour work out on weights he finds he does not need carbs to give him the energy for exercising.

He has studied nutrition in great depth he knows exactly what is in the foods he eats and the benefits of eating eggs goes way beyond carbohydrate count the boost to testosterone only being one among many.
Many doctors nutritionists and dietitians and quite a few people here could learn a lot from him
he studies it just as he studies his subject at university and he is on track for a first in that.
You do not need carbohydrate for energy that is a myth He has found that out in practice not theory.
We actually had an argument over this the other day I stupidly said where and when did you get your medical degree he countered with doctors know nothing about nutrition and I could not argue with that in the main they don't.
Just so you know he isn't talking out of his posteria.
" Eggs are a fantastic source of protein, cholesterol, vitamin D and omega-3s, all of which aid in the production of testosterone. Eggs are a very versatile ingredients and not only do they help increase testosterone levels, the protein in them helps with muscle building too!"

edit to add Did I say he eats vegetables if I make a low carb meal he does not eat the carby stuff simple as that the carbs in the eggs are the sum total of the carbs he may eat in a day. but he does not eat them necessarily every day just most days.
The diabetes team I attend say they find exercise is best done in the morning, regards blood sugar management. I don't do low carb, the evening before a day's hike up hills I try have a meal w beans/lentils in it. The morning- eggs and baked beans together work so well for me regards stabilising sugars, I also reduce the day's background insulin.
Do you reduce your fast acting insulin of th meal before your run?
Hi guys,
Now that I've stopped taking Lucozade (or any sugary drinks for that matter). And cutting my carbs down. What things would be good to eat or drink before going a run and how long before a run should I consume them?
Thank you
By contrast, Dr Bernstein maintains that everyone is more insulin resistant during the first hours of the morning and therefore it is better to eat fewer carbs for breakfast than at other meals AND better to postpone exercise til later in the day.The diabetes team I attend say they find exercise is best done in the morning, regards blood sugar management.

There are many interesting articles on exercise and bg management on the Diabetes Strong site: https://diabetesstrong.com/?s=exercise
Can I ask what type you are? A T2 wouldn't/shouldn't go for fruit juices as they cause a massive, fast spike in blood glucose. Slightly less fast but still big would be whole fruit. Just wondering. (Because if you do this a lot, you might be headed for complications in the long term and I tend to be a worry wart.Since starting weekly parkruns in 2012, I just have a fresh fruit and vegtable juice from the juicer. No problems with energy levels at all. In fact, I'd say I feel more energetic having a liquid feed than anything else.
