[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 2060996, member: 85785"] I will try and explain, why a ketogenic lifestyle is better for me. Yes, you do need glucose for brain function, but how much? Apparently, for me, I get enough not eating carbs! I have read and experienced why using ketones instead of glucose derived from carbs, has always kept me healthy in brain function and body health than before diagnosis. When I'm in ketosis, my body works better, I don't get hungry, I have great energy levels and I do feel healthier fasting. It is now over five years since diagnosis, and my health is excellent. I have spent most of that time in or just above ketosis. It all depends on how your body has adapted to which ever lifestyle you thrive on. I have been told that my dietary intake is very much ill advised from my doctors, dietician and GPs, dsns and until I showed my endocrinologist my food diary and the great effect of my lifestyle, he has reluctantly agreed that, it has worked incredibly well. Oh by the way, I have lost nearly six stone in the first year after diagnosis. I'm maintaining a healthy body weight since. I would recommend a low carb lifestyle to anyone who is having symptoms because of high glucose levels and those, who like me have too much insulin after carbs. Hope that helps [/QUOTE]
