I thought you left it out because you DO eat it. Agreed, great in anything.
As for salads do you just use mayo or make it into a creamy dressing with other ingredients?

You don’t have to gob it until you feel sick but you don’t have to hold back either. Ample amounts of fat should be included with every meal and snack. It’s much better for blood sugars as well.Thank you very much for all your advice.
I really appreciate it.
I definitely need to increase my fat intake.
When you decided to follow low carb - did you actually look into what it means? Tiny amounts of high carb food are not the way to eat if you want to control your insulin and glucose levels, nor will it make you feel comfortable. Try some low carb foods and you'll be able to eat lots of highly nutritious meals which should sort out your energy needs.I’m a newly diagnosed T2 and I’ve decided to follow low carb.
However I’m always hungry, loss of energy sometimes I could hardly walk, nauseated and very weak.
I’m scared to eat.
Any advice....Please help!
I agree. Pushing the envelope is not the way to manage our bg. Make your meals and leave off the carbs, especially starchy carbs. Look at it as preserving your beta cells for the future.When you decided to follow low carb - did you actually look into what it means?

Is that just because you like the taste? All the main brands seem to have similar ingredients, 70% rapeseed oil and free range eggs.Hellmans, naturally!

The recommended amount of protein is .8-1 g per kg LEAN body mass.
The average amount of protein is 7g pure protein for 56 weighted grams. (7 g per ounce)
White poultry and lean red meat is slightly higher and some fish are slightly lower but in your situation not enough to worry about.
Me too! Doesn’t get any simpler than that!I just use it straight from the jar. By the spoonful.
It’s all over the place , espaecially as of late. I was over eating protein and couldn’t figure out why a no carb meal spiked me.Thank you for that, I have looked all over for that. I will now start to use it and know that I am ok. Thanks again.
I would replace the rice and beans with plenty of broccoli, mushrooms and cauliflower and a handful of nuts or half an avocado.Thank you all for the good advice. Really appreciate it!
I have increased my fat (coconut oil) and have started eating more.
For lunch I had a quarter roast duck, 4 teaspoons brown rice with beans fried with coconut oil, and half a plate/lots of salad.
Bg readings were before lunch 6.4 and two hours after lunch 6.7.
Please continue to give me more advice.
Thank you!
Perhaps you could spend a few days measuring the grams you eat and see how that compares to the grams of carbs and protein? You may have a shock.
I wanted to suggest you track all your food for about three days. For kidney stone purposes as well. Then you’ll have an idea of what your daily macros are and perhaps tweak as needed. You had mentioned in another thread that you eat too much cheese, IF there is such a thing, and cheese has lots of protein as well as fat.You will see in my previous post I only say I am doing "quite low fat"; it is certainly not "very" low-fat. If it were, I would probably not be alive....
Beef lamb pork eggs bacon chicken turkey salmon tuna and all other proteins.
Fats are olive oil, butter, ghee, olives, avocado, nuts, mayo, lard or tallow if you wish
Safe carbs are above ground veggies, salad greens for the most part. Carrots and peas should be monitored.
With the high fat meal you had of duck and coco oil you might not see your peak until 3 or 4 hours as the fat slows down digestion for much longer than a low fat meal. This is why we test foods and meals and in the beginning we generally have to test more often to find trends and patterns. Then we can relax a bit when we know which meals and food work or don’t work
That is up to each individual. I eat one ounce a day for a snack at 5:00. Cheese ( dairy) makes me achy so I keep it to a minimum. I tend to like most of my fats to be plant fats rather than animal. Such as avocado, olive oil, nuts, olives and mayo.How much cheese can we eat on lchf?
