BRAVA, enviable effort, must be very demanding, no headaches ?

Thanks, Pasha, yes, a bit demanding, but "eyes on the prize" n'est-ce pas?
Any headaches I have, usually vanish with a good walk, or garden work and plenty of water to drink. Have not really had many since the first two weeks, It is interesting to see the effects of ND on the metabolism and I am looking forward to experimenting with low carbs to find what will be optimal for me.
You must already be at that point, are you just tweaking carb numbers now, Pasha dear?

In the past I went down to 15 grams of carbohydrates/ day and found it a bit limiting. Next I realised that I was sensitive to the amount of protein I ate.
I then got a few FBG readings of 72 mg/dl = 4 mmoles/l and this aroused a revival of ambitions to see if I could repeat it over some time ie that the results are real. So thats what I am doing at the moment, very low carbs, minimal protein and hight fat to keep the formulation iso caloric.
I do know that my upper limit for cabs is around 25 grams/ day which then gives a higher but still satisfactory FBG and post prandial results.I seem to be a chronic tweaker or tinkerer

Yeah.... 4.9 am after 6.4 last night, with 170g of pasta and some meatballs... it was a "test" and the result surprised me....
 
6.9 this am ....;)not done anything different and it goes up and down like a yoyo hope it stays down then can have my blueberry crumble yummy:)
 
7.3 mmol / L this morning was 6.1 mmol / L when going to bed. Better sleep and more of it. Slowly heading in the right direction ... I think ... I hope ...
 
A nice low 4.5 this morning. Pleased it's a good one because we've got family up at the moment and they all had an Indian takeaway last night while I was good and had chicken wrapped in prosciutto with green beans. I'd have been mightily fed up if my BS had been high in spite of my sacrifice :)
