[QUOTE="Mbaker, post: 2362737, member: 256617"] It is really easy. Eat your normal meal, then add either add something like a tin or 2 of sardines / mackerel in water, an extra portion of meat, a snack size side dish of bacon or bacon and eggs, peanut butter on coconut / cream pancakes, a couple of chaffles (look up Keto versions on YouTube), coconut flakes with milk or full fat Greek Yogurt. 6 weeks is a very short time, insulin resistance was probably built up over decades. What is important is the general trends. I can recall getting fbg's in the 5's and wondering how people were getting early 4's. At the time I was exercising like mad and eating well. For me the changes came with a combination of reducing plants, increasing animal proteins and removing home made soda bread; I wish I would have removed one at a time to understand what made the most difference. Anyway, give your body a chance to heal and maybe optimise P.S. I have not tried to go back to previous ways for 3 reasons. Don't want the complications again, the "rubbish" does not meet my bodies standards of nutrition / benefit and I prefer savoury. [/QUOTE]
