What was your fasting blood glucose? (with some chat)

@Canvaspic I have been mulling this - Keto WOE- over for some time and did some trawling of ye net. I have no actual idea of your stats e.g. height and weight but based on posts you have a home gym like me and exercise along the same lines. I am 1.83 cms and was 72.8 kgs at last medical for BMI of 21.7. (I weigh every at so know I am within 1/2 kg of that.)
My point here is it is often quoted that triathletes and distance runners flourish on keto (see this article) https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2015/11/151117091234.htm. Brownlee and women triathletes come in around BMI 21 or lower so are quite slight and distance runners are generally very spare to be polite. My stats are a near perfect match for Jordan Henderson, Christian Eriksen ,Joe Root and Jimmy Anderson (he is taller). All of those are athletes playing roles I used to play. I can find no hint those guys eat keto so the journey may be tough and it goes some way to explain to me my difficulty eating that way. There may well be optimum physical height and size for certain activities and optimum WOE that works to maintain the key characteristics - keto may not be for all shapes and needs?
If this is unhelpful or wrong thread modes delete an other people ignore.

We my bmi is 24 , height 6ft 1. Weight 13st 4. Depending on the day you catch me.
I have always thought of keto as OTT, but as my cousin is doing it for medical reasons, so why not. I think a BMI of 23 minimizes the influence of viseral fat on IR, so i would like to be at that number or below. I dont know if I would notice if keto affected my performance. My main motivation is to fight off infections I have been harboring for a couple of years. So I just want to drive the BG down by any means available. Any hack to drop BG will pique my interest. Anyway, its a job of work to get into ketosis....thats job 1.

As I said, I will be fascinated by how you go. Just throwing out info and based on your stats I would say you would see quite good results when you get keto adapted. I have managed a 3.9 bg and 3.9 keytone performance but would not be keen to sustain that personally. Good luck with it all and please keep us posted.

How are you against the new ball? There’s a tour spot up for grabs.
Jimmy is on Mrs R’s ‘list’. I’m allowed to watch the cricket when he’s playing.

Strangely, batted #1 for years but I know my level and ended up #4-6 shepherding yougsters over the line, especially when chasing. We need 2 opening bats. Jennings is dog poo and Jimmy and Broady must be ready for stud soon. Question is, can we keep Stokes out of jail abroad:arghh: Is your guy Coad England class? Mrs R may have to wait for Curran to start shaving, when Jimmy goes, before you can watch again:)

I haven't seen enough of him to judge for myself but he is performing well in a Yorkshire team that isn't. There are few cabs on the fast bowling rank though: Wood, Ball, Finn, the other Curran. We have two decent opening bats - Roy and Hales. Obvious risk is we might be 20-2 but no change there.
