[QUOTE="CherryAA, post: 1578137, member: 327005"] [B]Day 7 of the Low Insulin Diet (starting weight 91.6kg, current 86.1kg ) [/B] As I reported last night, yesterday I ate more food in one sitting by mistake than is even vaguely reasonable totalling 1655 calories with a massive fat load of 132 g, 60g of which was saturated fat . My metabolism was going like a steam engine all yesterday evening with ketones of 2.2, I woke up with ketones still at 1.1 - Which is a first for me. I've never been more than 0.5 in the morning before. My blood sugars flat lined at 4.8 and essentially just stayed there. This morning I weighed 86.1 kg - i.e. I have lost another 0.6 kg.I am now 4.9 kg lower than the same time last week. That is 5.3% of my starting body weight in one week after stalling for nigh on 6 months Overnight fasting glucose was 4.3 mmol down from 5.2 mmol at the start of the week a massive 17% reduction .My overnight fasting blood sugar is now down to 4.2mmol In thinking about this more a couple of things have struck me. I have one non-diabetic middle aged friend who I advised into low carbing a few months ago. He lost 30kg and is now slim. he lost the weight on a straight trajectory no stalls at all. I put down his success to the fact he was non diabetic and he puts it down to the fact he took up running. He followed my diet, however there were a couple of differences. He was eating enormous portions of food compared to me. He drowns his coffee in double cream, he often simply eats an enormous dinner- eg a whole rib eye steak + butter and then doesn't get round to eating for a day. I have a second friend that is non-diabetic who I advised into low carbing a few months ago. He lost 25kg so far, most notably 10kg in two weeks flat. This is a man who doesn't cook so I was trying to teach him. The recipe I chose was a beef lasagne made with aubergines and courgettes in place of pasta with lots of butter and cheese . Over the same two week period I hit my lowest weight point ever 85kg a loss of about 3kg.( which I've then put back over the summer to each the 91kg starting weight here) We both ate the same food but we did it differently. He doesn't like vegetables, he was also working away from home, so he didn't bother with breakfast , or lunch, but he did have a big portion of the lasagne in the evening. I on the other hand, ate sparrow like portions at three meals a day accompanied by vegetables and salad. he lost 10kg I lost 3kg. I put his success down to the fact he was non diabetic and it was early stages of the diet. I put my success down to swimming every day as the calorie count of the food needed to be "offset" by extra exercise All of these stories are the same thing FEASTING AND FASTING - Dr Jason Fung seems to be absolutely right. The problem with his advice is that I simply didn't GET what was meant by feasting. My brain is so conditioned to thinking I have to be restrictive in calories to lose weight that I simply can't get my mind around it. Our society is just so conditioned to believing that its all about the calories that I simply cannot conceive what they are talking about and what it means in practise. So what is the Lasagne recipe? Serves 6 250g streaky bacon,2 aubergines, 500 g fatty mince,40g butter,1 large onion,5 cloves garlic,50g tomato paste,1 cup red wine,11 gravy cube,400g tin tomatoes,salt and pepper Sauce- 2 cups of double cream in total 500g,2 egg yolks,1/4 teaspoon nutmeg,salt and pepper,300 g full fat cheddar cheese for the sauce ,a further 100g grated on top , salt and pepper Total calories for the recipe 6,500 ,per portion 1078 calories,carbs 28 g,fat 82g sat fat 44g, protein 55 g. It seems that butter really does may make your pants fall off.! I am going to eat exactly the same today as yesterday - just to see what happens next . Gosh this is proving interesting ! [/QUOTE]
