[QUOTE="ianf0ster, post: 2144825, member: 506169"] Hi, As has already been posted, being a vegetarian makes a Low Carb lifestyle to reduce BG quite a lot harder. This is because you need to replace the carbs with a certain amount of Fat and Protein, and the best low carb versions of those are derived from animals and fish. I even heard somewhere that Avocados and some citrus fruits are even considers non-vegan because of requiring pollination by bees and using beeswax as a sealant for long shelf life. If you still have weight to lose then IF or longer fasting should work fine. I am nowhere near as low on the Hba1c scale as you mine is 45 down from 53, but I have a BMI now down at 23.5 from 24.9 having lost 22lbs in just under 4 months on LCHF plus occasional IF - just basically eating to my meter.
