Thx for sharing this Ian. My BG drops with me drinking a Stout for me its like my new dessert.
I totaled up your calories and comes to over 3,000. My belief is that part of the reason Dr. Bernstein is so affective is that he eats in the under 1,500 range.
IME if I really cut back on the total calories a day I can increase my % of low density carbs and actually eat grains without the negatively impacting my BG.
I believe part of the secret to Bernstein is his personal low calorie diet.
Whoops, I forgot to add my bullet proof coffee to the totals, so another 500 calories and 60g fat making 3,500. I seem to need around 3,500 calories per day to maintain weigh (12 3/4 stone, 80kg, 178lb). A couple of months ago I sat down and detailed all my food intake and exercise into one of the apps (my fitness pal I think), and it said my forecast weight was 12 3/4 stone, exactly as I am. My exercise equated to around 400 calories. I found it quite hard to balance calories and protein. Carbs is easy, but now I seem to have it sorted, with the help of 500 calories from bulletproof coffee. If you reduce calories you loose Weight. I would like to put a little on.
