Low Carb Query

everyone's concerned about too much fat, as has been said, it's hard to get enough fat. google 'fat bombs' to get some ideas.
 
I know Jack... But when you are not a big eater of anything... Even a fat bomb is a lot.
Although I am a higher fat taker now, I know its still not up to myfitness pal recommendations everyday because of the fat/carb ratios I have and calories from working physically.
I will get there with higher fat but just want to also see the effect on my cholesterol..2nd coconut oil coffee this morn!!
 
check it out more, you need to balance your fats, coconut is good for MCT, but you don't want just that
 
Thanks Jack. I do try to have more healthy options of fat and protein too with my eggs, salmon, cheese and meat etc but there is only so much that I can eat of that food!! So a little coconut oil will push up my fat calories a little more and easy to put a dollop into my coffee!!

Your advice appreciated greatly...
 
Hello everyone on this Low Carb diet. I haven't been for a while as My Mother died middle of Sept and I have been coming to terms with her loss. As for the Lump in throat feeling - almost gone! I have put it down to less or no stress now Mum has gone. I have introduced more carbs (potato, brown bread, pasta, noodles in very gradually with little or no bad effects. I eat a bit more good meat (sirloin steaks twice a week). More cheese. Oatcakes. lots of nuts continuously - love them. Full fat milk on porridge in a.m. cheese on everything - scrambled egg, soup, wheaten bread. I take half a Ensure topped up with full fat milk = twice a day (yum). I have put some weight back on slowly so will keep at that. BS readings have been good 5/6 in morning rising to 10/11 after 2 hrs. Take a drop to 4/4.5 in afternoon if I forget to snack but I can deal with that. Bed earlier than before which is helping my mood. Sticking with the low carbs - it has worked well for me. Good luck everyone.
 
9 yrs Type 2 and never heard of MCT- ever! lol Haven't a clue what mine would be but will ask at next GP appt. Thank you.
 
I have been feeling better for the past few weeks and although the acid reflux is still there it isn't so bad. I have re-introduced one potato at dinner each night (wonderful) and have upped the fats as recommended by lots of ppl on here. More cheese, cream etc. Have put on about 7 lbs and I am up to 9st now. Happy with that but would ideally like to add a further 7lb. Energy level good. GP reduced Gliclazide to 2 per day and see here in 2 weeks again to see if it needs to be reduced more. Off to Google "fat bomb" now lol. Thanks for continued help.
 
Up your fat intake. Cream in coffee instead of milk. Full fat Greek yoghurt. Nuts. Cheese. Try www.dietdoctor.com
 
Yes I agree Jack. It has been ingrained into my brain - avoid fat and sugar. It is also hard for me to take when I meet some people and they greet me with "have you lost even more weight?" I would never comment negatively on anyone's weight - either over or under weight - so why do people do that? I have been through a stressful time and I really don't need the nasty comments. These ppl as a general rule are usually overweight. I am a gentle person so usually end up explaining things! But that's a different issue lol.
