Can anyone point me towards a simple guide to a sustainable keto woe?
I have been following a couple of forums that are so evangelical and strict that they scare me. I don't want to buy tons of supplements or expensive unnecessary ingredients.( For example once or twice a week i might use a tablespoon of shop bought mayo. I don't want to make or buy special mayo just for that small amount - how much harm could it do in the grand scheme of things?)
I want to be able to sit down with family with a recognisable meal that is similar to theirs, albeit missing some items
Most of all I want my bg to go down.
My first couple of months on low carb were good with lots of 5s and even a couple of 4s but the last 2 months are mostly 6s with some 7s. I know these levels are quite good compared to others But they are increasing and I need them to decrease.
I am already mostly 2mad with an 18/6 window. Somedays it is 16/8 . I do some sort of physical activity most days.
Although nowhere near as hungry as I was bx, some days I still get hungry so I eat, but less and get fuller quicker.
I think I have been fat adapted for 3-4 months now. When I urine test it is always dark end of the purple scale.
I find the rest of this forum helpful and practical... now I need the same for keto.(I think?)
All advice and comments welcomed
