Thank you, you sound just like my husband....he keeps saying the same, get better then back to what I was doing with the low carbs etc.I think your recovery will be delayed if you do not eat sufficiently, next time you have a situation like that leave the concern for blood sugar levels for consideration when you are fully recovered from your illness your body in order to heal needs feeding .
He's much better now Saskia...back to his old tricks...we had a leisurely stroll in our park he's not allowed to walk on the grass yet..so .he was slightly miffed...but back to his usual self thank you.
May also be worth looking carefully at just how LC you were before the illness and the makeup of those carbs. Not everyone will maintain optimum health at very low levels of carb or sustain very low levels for ever. To be clear, many people can thrive on very low carbs but it is always worth evaluating just where one's own base level is.
Thank you, that's interesting to know as I'm very rarely ill and this has totally knocked me sideways. My carbs were 30g a day, generally eating eggs, cheese, butter and then a meal of beef mince in the evenings.
It may be that the total carbs are fine but include some veggies in the mix - which you may well do already but it is unclear from that post. Anyhow, hope the recovery continues and however you proceed when fully recuperated you flourish.
My doctor said nothing really, told me I am prediabetic and I need to exercise. That was all the info he gave me. Told me not to test my bg levels and when I mentioned LCHF he said no you need to just eat more fruit and veg i.e. healthy eating and not to eat high fat!!
Thank you, yes I do have broccoli and cauliflower.
Goodnight Karen and everyoneGoodnight everyone sleep well
