[QUOTE="Oldvatr, post: 1477840, member: 196898"] Agree. Ketosis is NOT essential, but it helps with weight loss (not a desired effect for the OP) and for reducing fatty livers (NAFLD). It also helps us to deal with the occasional hypo event that may occur until any medication adjustments are complete, since most of us using LC find we need to reduce our prescription meds. But it is possible to reduce bgl to good levels without ketosis if that is your design aim. Personally I have done the fat adaption phase, and now generally run without keto since I do not have to carb count or be super strict with diet. So as advised above, take it gently and eat to meter, Log your results and what meals and snax you have, and use that to identify the heavy hitters for elimination. Increased fat intake helps an LC diet by suppressing appetite, giving a saeity feeling, and providing energy even when glucose levels are low. [/QUOTE]
