[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1577966, member: 327005"] Well today was another eye opener. Trying to balance out the correct mix to get to 100% is hard, I've been busy and I wanted a change preferably more dense with less volume. I own a bunch of LCHF cook books . I have a tendency to read them , ignore them then make up something else which is a reasonable approximation but adjusted for the "author excess." based on my squeamishness - i.e. they cannot possibly really mean quite that much fat. My flat mate has no such nuances - its in a book- cook it . She had cooked the lasagne recipe from Prof Noakes book The Real Meal Revolution . I couldn't find the book , but I could recall it serving 6. So I helped myself to one sixth, drank my apple cider vinegar and cod liver oil before it, finished with 30g or each of blackberries , yoghurt, cream, and 20 g nuts. When I finally tracked down the recipe I discovered that today's mega meal included 1655 calories which was 69 protein, 40 carbs and 132 fat with a whopping 61g of saturated fat. ( my HDL will go through the roof !) In practice eating half of that portion of lasagne would have been much more comfortable for me. and still be 70% fats. So I presumably could repeat the process but with a slightly smaller than huge meal in future. 8 hours later and I still feel rather like I ate a horse. My system now appears to be full on ketotic with blood ketones of 2.2 the highest they have ever been despite the ingestion of 40g carb in one hit, my breathalyser is shouting - go directly to jail - but me friends tell me I don't smell ( though I guess they might be being polite! ) My starting blood glucose was 4.5 My post prandial high was 5.0 and I returned to 4.1 shortly thereafter - i.e. basically no reaction at all!!! This is just insane. I ate more carbs today than earlier in the week and my system has quite simply ignored them and all the proteins. I did zero exercise today . I am conscious that a few people work on blocking their morning liver dump with a fat bomb of some sort, but until today I really did not appreciate the significance of that for me. I have happily bought into the theory proposed by people like Dr Ted Naimann , that you don't need to eat the fat to be on an LCHF diet. Lesson for today : it IS important that I actually EAT the high fat part of an LCHF diet if I want to minimise insulin and glucose strikes. I will be enormously surprised if my weight is actually down tomorrow, I still feel like I may never be hungry again. Yet another note to self. (this time without expletive ! ) Follow the recipe ! I've posted the free style libre chart for the first six days of this diet I used 3.9 to 5.9 as the range because 91% of the readings are under 5.9 - A "Normal " population has readings under 6.7 91% of the time. Night all! [/QUOTE]
