[QUOTE="TriciaWs, post: 2225517, member: 475901"] I went low carb on diagnosis. At that point my overall cholesterol was ok but my triglycerides were too high, I had a non alcoholic fatty liver, and a couple of my kidney measure were at the top of the normal range. Three months on and everything had improved, in spite of eating more fat than I'd done for years. A liver scan a year later showed I no longer have a fatty liver either. I didn't go as low as some people - I didn't need to. I started on 100g a day, then went down to 85g as I was still getting a slightly high reading first thing (the dawn phenomenon). Buying a meter was crucial, it is silly that the NHS won't recognise this and supply them for us as it saves them money long term but as long as you get one that doesn't need expensive strips it isn't too bad. It was fairly easy making the changes, I found some recipes to replace the main things I would miss (rice and toast) and a few treats - there are recipes here and on the lowcarbrpogram or on keto sites, just avoid the more processed stuff on some of the USA sites. As you are one of the 10% who are not overweight then you need to make sure you eat enough healthy fat to replace the carbs. Things like double cream, full fat greek yogurt, cheese, eggs, meats, with olive oil dressings on salad and butter on green veg. [/QUOTE]
