[QUOTE="sno0opy, post: 2239922, member: 513948"] Just to temper this with the alternative. I Personally dont think you need to cut "everything" (Unless you do - more of that below) That is one option, and is the only option for some people who cant process any carbs. However some people can manage it perfectly well by reducing those things. The key thing is to get a blood glucose meter which are cheap and check your bloods 2 hours after eating meals and see what they look like. From that you will get the best idea what you can and cannot eat. For example, eating a whole wheat cereal and milk for breakfast might give you a good glucose response Eating the same cereal with a glass of orange juice might spike you, or eating a higher sugar cereal without the juice might So you can have one but not both. Eating a lunch of beans on two slices of toast might spike you Eating Beans with one slice of toast may not, or half a toast and add an egg. A small portion of pasta may not spike you, but a large bowl of pasta might, so smaller portion with a side salad works. For me for example, i can have a whole fruits, apples, pears, oranges etc, but not tropical fruits like pineapple - i also have one piece rather then chasing 2 or 3 at lunch like i used to do and i dont have juice. All im saying, is that you can go full Keto and cut everything out and that works, but if you test your blood and see where you sit in the scale you might find you can manage it by being careful. Also i cannot under empherise the benefit of exercise. Building up by being more active does help you process carbs. [/QUOTE]
