Message: <blockquote data-quote="LooperCat" data-source="post: 1808384" data-attributes="member: 468055">Morning! Like you, I got exhausted/exasperated with the glucoaster, so cut carbs drastically. My macros work out at 30g carbs, 65g protein and 100g fat - a little more f & p on weekends, because I’m human and like more flexibility! % wise, it’s about 9/21/70 - about the same as you. I do minimal exercise due to dislocating joints, but a briskish walk to the post office doesn’t have much effect. I understand from some of the Facebook keto groups I’m in that once you are fat adapted, exercise has little effect. There are a few endurance athletes and marathon runners who are type one and run fasted with little to no effect on their BG and performance. <a href="http://type1keto.com/?page_id=156" target="_blank">http://type1keto.com/</a> is a blog by a doctor who has had great success with this. Your food looks great, and pretty similar to what I eat, although a lot of days I skip breakfast because I’m not hungry. I sometimes skip lunch too, but may have a protein shake to stave off the mid afternoon drop in BG levels. I adore dark chocolate, it’s my big treat. I use the 100% drops from Hotel Chocolat - a couple of those keeps my inner chocoholic happy <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />If it’s of any interest, I blog about my keto food and it’s effect on my diabetes in the links below in my sig. Also, the best price I’ve found for the Dr B book is here: <a href="https://amzn.to/2HR4Yy5" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2HR4Yy5</a>It’s also very important to keep your electrolyte levels up, otherwise you can get flu-like symptoms. Specifically sodium, magnesium and potassium - they get flushed out of your body on keto. I use pink salt for sodium, lo-salt for potassium/sodium and a magnesium/calcium/vitamin D supplement that I also get from Amazon: <a href="https://amzn.to/2rghDPM" target="_blank">https://amzn.to/2rghDPM</a> [ATTACH=full]27023[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
