For the next 6 months I'm going to try and stay in deep ketosis as part of my marathon preparation. I've been eating <25g of carb a day for most of the past 3 years, but I rarely get even a hint of purple unless I'm running a lot and restricting my protein too.
As a consequence, I'm getting the best BG readings that I've ever had. Even on 25g a day, if I'm not in keto then my fasting glucose is always about 6mmol/l.
I went to Nando's yesterday lunchtime, had half a chicken, coleslaw, and ratatouille (and about 12 liters of Coke Zero) and my BG never budged above 5.1mmol/l.
