@bulkbiker I've just seen this thread.
My IR has dramatically improved since I've reduced my fat. Saturated fat the most. I'm not hugely low-fat but don't buy cheese, cream or nuts anymore. I rely on a low carb pizza occasionally and nutty treats every other month, money allowing.
I've been told by diabetic unit my insulin is in keeping with the norm and my hba1c is now at last 48 and lowering.
This is all months before my bariatric surgery date.
I'm losing on average 2lb per week.
I was shocked at my hba1c but knew something good when weight loss is consistant and using dramatically less insulin to control my 4s 5s and 6s. Something just changed. Fat removal is only dietary change. Mostly chicken skin, bacon rind, cheese, nuts and cream no longer eaten.
Have you tried reducing yours to see if any weight loss?
Hi Vicky..
Bit surprised by your question to be honest.. on this journey and not worrying about my fat intake I have so far shed 112 pounds in weight. I am about 14 pounds off my ideal target and am happy to take some time to get there. From my point of view keto works amazingly well for me so I don't think I'll be changing anything soon.
