I apologise in advance, but I only want posts in this thread from those who have actually tried the Dave Feldman protocol.
My second apology is because I'm starting this thread prematurely, since I don't yet know my 'After' lipid figures.
I don't even know my real 'Before' figures, since I was just doing it in order to avoid a difficult discussion about LDL with a GP.
However I do know my lipid figures at T2 Diagnosis and understand the science of the LCHF lifestyle and so know almost certainly, that since I was still losing some weight at the time my LDL figures at my 3month (actually 4 months) review would be considered 'worse' than previous.
So having heard of the 'Dave Feldman Protocol' in a post by @bulkbiker I decided to give it a go, even though I am not on a specifically Keto diet - just the lower end of Low Carb and aiming for between 20gms and 50gms of Carbs per day.
I have tested using Keto strips though they never showed any definitive Ketone levels. So at best only showed the very mildest level of Ketosis.
