[QUOTE="xyzzy, post: 300012, member: 40343"] Yes that's probably true. When I analyse what I consume it's around 75g a day once I add the semi skimmed milk I put in my tea, coffee and hot chocolate. In term of percentages then its a roughly 15% carbohydrate, 65% fat, 20% protein regime but importantly on average around 95% of the carbs I do eat are coming from vegetables, fruit, yoghurt and milk. I have all but given up starchy and processed carbs except for a round of burgen toast a day and the occasional roast potato with a Sunday roast or tablespoon of pilau rice that I'll have with my Indian takeaway. I did go fully ketogenic for around 6 weeks a while back mostly to kick start some more weight loss when it stalled and discovered I can make ketostix change to a nice purple colour however on my more normal intake I never show any change of colour but suspect I am existing in some twilight zone. Doesn't bother me at all as all my major risk factors (HbA1c, weight, blood pressure and cholesterol) are normal and I feel fine. All of this T2 stuff is just a case of minimising risk. Everything anyone does has some risk associated with it but in my opinion the knack is to recognise what the real proven major risk factors are and minimise those however you choose to do it.
