[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1687587, member: 459333"] That's been my experience so far, i.e. calories are the biggest predictor of whether I'll gain weight, and what my morning fbgs are going to be, not carb levels. In some ways maybe that's a good sign that I don't have crazy insulin resistance, I don't know? Anyway I've pretty much stopped trying to analyse things now, I just want to find a way that works! I need to improve consistency - I may have lost a fair bit of weight over the last few months, but my fbgs have been all over the place, so it would be nice to find a way of eating which I can stick to, and allows me to eat food I like, and do the hobbies I like, and gets consistently good fbgs. I don't know whether keto is the answer for me, but by all accounts it seems to take a long time to find out, so I'll stick with it while tweaking the parameters. I know I can't keep doing what I've been doing over the last week. I feel unwell, so that alone will make me take action, e.g. throwing the peanut butter out, and I've already been shopping since running out of double cream, and tempting though it was to get some more for taste purposes, I didn't. I'm also going to go back to keeping an accurate food log and counting calories as well as carbs and making sure I don't go over 2,200. I like Jenny Ruhl's writing, I really like her website but I haven't bought one of her books, perhaps I should! [/QUOTE]
