Guzzler, what are pufas?? There is so much contradictory advice out there for carbs, fats and just about everything else , the more I research the more anxious and confused I get. I. Have cardio vascular disease history in my family as well as a diabetic history. Having cancer made me take a hard look at myself and I just honestly wanted to do the best for myself. Now I am totally confused as to what to do . I sometimes wish I never found out about that darned HbA1c result !!!!
My son was advised to go low carb when he was diagnosed with the big C - apparently it is starting to be recognised as being beneficial by reducing bgl and insulin demands, and the science now shows many cancers need sugar to thrive.
How long does a highcarb binge hangover last? longtime keemo sabee. It could last a lifetime if you let it. But with resolve a recovery can be quick. I binge out at Xmas and Easter and birthdays and months with a full moon in them, but manage to recover within a few days. However, I am not keto, so getting that fat burner going again may take a little longer.
Just as an anecdote aside, some time ago we had someone who was claiming LC diet did not work for them and certainly their mealplans they shared were LC, but in the discusion that followed they confessed to being addicted to TicTac's and beer which they had not divulged earlier.
If your diabetes is due to a fatty liver, then this takes a while to shift and reduce and if you are not losing weight then this may indicate that the stored fats in your liver are taking a while to deplete and thus the IR will remain high. I suggest you try to maintain your LC habit for a bit longer At least with low bgl you are not pumping up the insulin and this should be good for your body anyway.
