Hi Tonal, sorry to hear that. Please accept our condolences.
In brief, in answer to your question, whatever you like, and if you make more than you need, simply freeze it or refrigerate it for another occasion.
newly widowed and trying to go back to basics lchf - what to cook for one? All ideas welcome.
I ask for a little advice on this.
I'm hearing more and more people struggling with mobility and not due to weight but diabetes without amputations.
Agree with what you say. It is the Krebs cycle, otherwise known as the Citric cycle, that governs the transfer of glucose into muscle cells for either immediate energy burning or storage, It also governs the release of stored glucogen already in those cells to the muscle for energy, and also as a last resort it can use lipids as well. This is where the primary T2D Insulin Resistance is situated, in that the disease affects the hormones such as insulin and adrenelin etc that are the keys that unkock or block the various pathways for energy in the mitochondria. It is this IR that precedes the Diabetes DX, and also leads to the excess insulin buildup that causes the adipose tissue buildup that characterises T2D and what many here now call IR, There are 2 different but linked ways that IR affect us, and current thinking sems to be fixated on adipose tissue IR and is not considering the initial triggers of muscle IR. To get a cure for T2D, BOTH of these have to be understood and fixed.I wish I understood the process better, but I think the answer lies in something called the Kreb cycle. Basically a series of chemical reactions used to release energy. It uses carbs, protein and fat and I think the last stage of the process is the production of ATP which goes to muscles. As I say, I wish I understood it better. I really needs an "Idiots guide".
Also, if Metformin is a medication one takes, it will to one degree or another effect the amount of lactic acid which builds up in the muscle. So, for example, even in people are not taking Metformin, if you decided to go for a 20 mile walk, without building up over a period of time to that distance, lactic acid will build up in the muscle and you will "stiffen up". It goes after a while, sometimes a day or two.
It is the Krebs cycle
I'm feeling like a wooden soldier in my gait now. My skin is very tight on my calves, just recently too. Nurses are saying due to heat but only came on when I started dihydrocodeine painkillers. Alongside pins and needles in hands and fingers with swellings there too.I wish I understood the process better, but I think the answer lies in something called the Kreb cycle.

I know when I was using supplement R-ala it helped my insulin pathway. Do you use this supplement?Agree with what you say. It is the Krebs cycle, otherwise known as the Citric cycle, that governs the transfer of glucose into muscle cells for either immediate energy burning or storage, It also governs the release of stored glucogen already in those cells to the muscle for energy, and also as a last resort it can use lipids as well.

As regards Metformin and lactic acid buildup, again you are correct. A known side effect of Met is listed as lactic acid buildup, and I certainly suffer with it. A brisk walk to the end of my street is aufficient for me to feel like I have been in a marathon. I have to pause for about a minute for it to subside, then I can continue my perambulations. I am currently reducing my Metformin dose to see if I can ameliorate this problem, and so far it does seem to have enabled me to walk further before I have to take a break. I still get aches and maybe the condition is also linked to atherosclerosis in the calves and may be permanent.
my Idiots guide to Krebs (as was propounded a few years back) It is an oversimplification of what actually happens, and there are other hormones involved too but I think this is a very basic understanding. Krebs ia a multiway switch that is also bi-directional, so under certain conditions, local stores can also supply glucose back to the blood stream,
INSULIN / ADRENELIN/ Glucose Transfer
N/ N/ static. Glucose locked out of cell
Y/ N/ glucose allowed into cell either for local storage as glucogen or use as energy
N/ Y/ Local stored glucogen used for energy by muscle If stores empty and blood glucose is low then lipids and ketones can be used instead (ketosis)
Y/ Y/ blood glucose used for energy directly

but want to share my experience was 49 hba1c november 17, nurse said cut your portion size down. was 106kg BM1 30.1 Body fat 27%
so was eating less carbs more fat - hba1c was 45 but now high lipids , GP wanted to put me on statins
at this time i was also under chemotherapy - u at this point and prior a big meat eg dairy eater
researched how to get well.
i said to GP no thanks i'll sort it
april 18 new mindset, so many youtube vids of how to get rid of type 2.. was 100kg
cut out all FAT, OIL and added sugar , which means no dairy or animal protein.
of course one needs calories and this means most for me where from carbs whole plant food , not processed with sweet potatoes, beans, rye bread , rice , plenty of fruit but not fruit juice
for me after 3 weeks it was real easy, dont miss the bold print any more,
july 18 hba1c 36 and now 86 kg cholesterol normal BMI 25.2 23.1% BF
continued with my new now normal diet
october 18 hba1c 37 normal weight 84kg BMI 24.8 body fat 22.7 %
so FOR ME HCLF diet is a definite no no
avoid heart diseases , cancer , stroke, dementia and type2 D
Athlersclerosis - will reverse and cure after complete removal of animal /dairy diet
GET rid of animal fat - it works for me. aged 57 now and feel with energy i had 25 years ago
dont make your GP and drug companies your best friend
looking back i was in denial , always thought i looked fine
if you want more help PM me, can share youtube links
i don't get why NHS and the like do not make this aware !!!!!!
Whilst I agree with your comment that keto /fasting does not suit everybody, the inference that it is involved in your heart attack is something I do not accept. I too have just spent 3 months in hospital following 2 heart attacks, and culminating in a triple bypass operation. I asked my Consultant if my LC diet was to blame, annd he said that the damage to cause a heart attack is generally long term buildup from poor lifestyle over many years, and that my LCHF diet was unlikely to be causative in my recent MI events. As it turned out my MI was due to a bacterial infection that was eventually dealt with by antibiotics. The Consultant has confirmed this in writing to me and my GP and he reiterated that it was not due to recent lifestyle changes.I did keto intermittant fasting for 2 years and just spent 3 weeks in a UShospital with a massive heart attack It doesnt work for everyone
