Ketosis

Thank you Lucy.....sounds like a plan! Not taking huge amount of bolus insulin since have big carb ratio as still honeymooning! But bloods have never been more stable!
 
Hi eddie1968 , I hope you get to the bottom of things, being positive in taking action is only a good thing
 
Keri you are fine. As long as your BG stays good, ketones of 8 mg/dl are nothing to worry about and probably temporary anyway. You don't need to check ketones with BG below about 13, unless you are curious about whether you are in nutritional ketosis.
 
Same here. My sticks showed 4 and my blood showed 0.6
 
Thanks everyone, have tried to include more salt and will drink more water! So surprised that I'm not hungry! It's brilliant!
 
What's bulletproof coffee??
 
Good black coffee with 15-30g butter and 10-30g coconut oil, whizzed with a stick blender.

Your reflex may well be YUK, but counterfactually, it's totally yummy. Like coffee with cream, but actually better.

I use c. 20g butter and 10g coconut oil. Others - Rob knows all about this - go for 30/30.

Loose
 
Well ATM I have 3 stone to lose so prob not yet but I had been wondering how not to lose weight once it's off

Even so, don't skimp on the fat Emmotha. You might try playing with the totals on the nutritional calculator. Jenny Ruhl's one. You can choose how fast you want to lose weight. I'm on 80% fat but not everyone has to be. Still melting weight off BTW.
 
I'm eating a lot of cheese don't worry
 
Does it take long to fill it all out on MFP?
 
Ok groovy I'll give it a try tomorrow thanks
 
Or you can also try Carbs & Cals. I put lots of my own items in there and now it's very handy. Paid version better.
 
Hello to all, I am learning all the time about progress that is being made. I will look up about Dr. Bernsteining and what it requires, and what is MFP? sorry don't know?!.
The Ketone testing is new to me as well, but I think I might have been in Ketosis a couple of years ago, as I went thinner and lighter, I have the dip sticks for urine testing, but when I did they did not change colour, good sign?.
So the learning and research goes on, for me. For now ttfn Karen
