[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 998378, member: 41816"] Hi again, Have you been aware of the connection between vit D deficiency and depression? The reason i ask is that there have been a lot of people who arrive on this forum who have low levels of vit D. I am one of them, and have experienced a profound lifting of my mood since i stated supplementing with Vit D. The reason i mention this is that there are links between low vit D, depression and autoimmune diseases. Actually, i din't even know if RH ticks the boxes to be classed as an autoimmune disease, but it seems likely, since it often develops, over time, into T2 diabetes, which is linked to many other auto immune diseases (they tend to cluster). You mentioned indian takeaways. The issue is probably in his choice of curry and the breads and rice. I love a good curry, cook them regularly, and we eat out at several different indian restaurants - but my food choices all stick to options that will keep me in ketosis. This means No bread No rice No potato dishes No thick sweet creamy or fruity sauces (no korma or pasanda) they can be sweetened with sugar, potato, parsnip, sweet potato... Even dhansak and lentil dishes are too sweet for me. I choose drier, un-sweet meat dishes (shashlick, butter chicken, kebab, grills) I order side dishes like onion bhaji, brinjal or cauli or okra bhajis, sag paneer. No dessert The result is a lovely sustained blood glucose, no highs, no lows, a delicious meal, no indigestion and no food-hangover in the morning. You have mentioned your husband's flat bg response, and it put me in mind of this you tube video [MEDIA=youtube]w0nV-_ddXoc[/MEDIA] It is a long, slow watch, but worth every second, because is explains the role of insulin and what is going wrong to get a flat response. It is talking about T2Diabetes, but the principle is the same. You asked if i eat broccoli. Yup. All the time. I avoid all the grains and all the starchy root veg (other people can tolerate them better, so it is best to work out your own tolerances for these things). I eat a lot of varied veg, just not the starchy ones. [/QUOTE]
