[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1128403, member: 196898"] Exactly. The 'normal ' recommended daily carb intake is 300g or above, so anyone doing 120g or less would be low carb in my eyes. I am not and never will be VLC (<20g) I (and my carboholic family) have eased myself gently into LCHF. During the early stage, I was getting a liver dump mid day that made nonsense of my averages. I solved this by having a repeatable breakfast of 2 slices of seeded toast (38g carb, <1g sugar_) with butter. Testing showed it had minor effect on bgl that dissipated quickly and stopped the liver dumps. With this breakfast I lowered my bgl to drop my HbA1c to 44 and using the HF I controlled my weight so it remained static (as desired for me). However, it was clear from my recent lab test results that I was not triggering the ketogenic aspect of LCHF. Since then I have stopped one slice of toast in the morning, and my bgl has dropped significantly in less than a week. My averages suggest an HbA1c now is estimated to be 31. I have stopped taking my evening meds as agreed with my DCN and GP. Yesterday I had a fish and chips supper. all my readings that day were under 5 mmol/L The portion was enormous, and I ate the batter too but left some chips. [/QUOTE]
