This is my 4th day since being diagnosed I am in ketosis and my mmol/l is 8.2.
When I first found out my mmol/l was 11.
Just wondered what your level was when you first got diagnosed and how long it too you to see any results
Hi!
Im only new here, and I'm still learning but I wll share some of my tips (let say so
)
I was diagnosed 3 months ago with a 7.1 mmol (54 IFCC) and managed to drop it to 6.0 which is 42 IFCC mmol in the past 3 months following a very low carb diet (no more of 30 carbs per day). I've lost a bit of weight as well.
I didnt touch any type of bread apart from the Lidl protein bread (will have one per day) and tried to follow a mediteraneean diet (I've read Michael Mosley mediteraneean diet book) . I couldnt follow his 8 weeks diet as it is too strict but I cut all the pasta, rice, breads, cousous. I had eggs, yogurts, vegetables. Need to be carefull as some starchy vegetable have a higher intake of carbs also be carefull about some fruits. Berries and strwberies are good. The fruit yogurts even if they are diet, are quite high in sugar and carbs.
It is not easy . We need to find foods that we like and are permited.
Hope it helps.
