[QUOTE="AndBreathe, post: 2689159, member: 88961"] [USER=47277]@BarbaraG[/USER] - my steer to you would be that you strive to embed a lifestyle you can live with. It doesn’t need a label, and can be a hybrid of multiple methods, provided your blood chemistry etc get to and stay in a decent place - with or without medication. As you have proven, there is little long term benefit of going into a revolving door of yo-yo diet and blood sugars. That’s hard on you; physically, mentally and on your wallet (thinking wardrobe here). I have never striven to live keto for any length of time. Sure, I’ve experimented (because I could), and have gome carnivore for very short periods, in preparation for long haul travel where my choice was to fast throughout (Korean airline food doesn’t tend to attract too many stars), but my day-to-day approach is what I term “reduced carb”. I tend not to count my carbs, unless I think I’m hitting them a bit harder than I should, I just keep the spuds and rice to a minimum and never eat baked goods anyway (I’m gluten free, and not eating bread etc, is just simpler). I don’t have a very sweet tooth, although I’m in SEAsia at the moment, where our eating style tends to be very low carb, but to maintain my weight (upwards), I have a very small tub of ice cream most evenings, and enjoy it. im not saying my way is THE way but encouraging you to find YOUR way, irrespective of what the labelling might call it. If it means you live a stable life, but take a bit of medication to support that, so be it. There is zero shame in taking medication. It is an additional tool in your toolkit. Take your time. This is for the long haul. [/QUOTE]
