Didn't know this existed, but I've literally been having steaks since Christmas Eve. Although that was with chips, so maybe cut them out...
Im not T1, but I would doubt that ingesting nothing but meat for a day, let alone a month, month would be safe for people with T1 diabetesDidn't know this existed, but I've literally been having steaks since Christmas Eve. Although that was with chips, so maybe cut them out...

Why wouldn't it be? Near enough no carbs, so no/little insulin required, therefore no swings in BS and therefore better control.
Sounds great in theory but no carbs does not necessarily equate to none or little insulin. As for swings in BS, I follow a lowish carb diet and still have swings to the low side.
Body Fat 27.3% Always a very variable figure on my scales!
Visceral Fat 12
1.0
Your scale gives you fat percentages??!!??? I have never dreamed of something that sophisticated. Is it a water scale maybe? In your hot tub?
Yes its an Omron 508 not especially accurate but good for monitoring trends. It was fairly close to the one that did a similar thing at the gym I joined briefly so they are probably as inaccurate as each other!Your scale gives you fat percentages??!!???

@bulkbiker
Have you got a link to any details on World Carnivore Month?
Is it just generally carni, or is it one of the one-type-of-meat-for-30-day things?
I tried to sign up for the Shawn Baker 30 day Carnivore Challenge at the beginning of last year. Succeeded with the eating plan. Failed magnificently to negotiate his website and update software which seemed to be specifically designed to be impenetrable. Total waste of time. But I enjoyed the eating.

And levels of hydration I believe.. I usually do mine at the same time each day just after I get up and have peed but still get some wild swings especially when fasting.You can get quite a lot that do now, they basically send a low voltage pulse from one foot to the other, the time it takes for the pulse to return is proportional to the fat. But they're not very accurate and are affected by dry skin, blisters etc.
You're more than welcome to speak for me anytime you like!Not wanting to speak for bulkbiker, but this is the link he shared elsewhere

I managed to sign up on the Shawn Baker site a few days ago, but it’s not the most user friendly.
It’s general carnivore. I’m taking it to be any animal based product, not just meat.
Getting back to topic, my starting figures were (actually taken on 28th Dec as I weigh every Friday).
Weight - 62.3kg
BMI - 23.7 (creeping up)
Body fat - my home scales are hopeless for that. Last reading at gym end November was 21%, so will run with that. Will measure again at gym at end of Jan.
Ketones - 0.8
Today
Weight - 60.7kg - down 1.6
BMI - 23.1
Ketones - 2.4
So much for GNG pushing everyone out of ketosis by eating too much meat!
