[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1687549, member: 459333"] It's good to hear other people questioning the whole idea but 'getting there in the end'! That's very much where I'm at at the moment. I intend to stick this one through, if for no other reason than I have my next blood test at the end of March. I still have a fear of fat, so if I can get through a blood test after two months of eating a lot of fat, that should get rid of my fear. My fasting bg levels have risen steadily, now back up to nearly 7 in the morning. That's something I've found consistent since monitoring things in the last few months - if the tide switches to very definite weight gain, regardless of carb levels, I get that kind of number in the mornings. I've found that I can get instant reduction of morning fbgs by restricting calories, again regardless of carbs, so I'm tempted to do ~1000 calories of vlchf for 2-3 days then build up again. Or maybe another fast - that worked really well for me recently. Actually that could be just the ticket for fbg purposes. I guess it's all a question of trying to get my own personal balance right, while not breaking out of ketosis? [/QUOTE]
