I make everything I eat and never eat fast food or ever drink soda or juice. Why am I gaining weight, I’ve been so good. Posts: 12 Participants: 5 Read full topic ..read more

Even just a little bit of breadcrumbs on my fish cakes increased my blood glucose from around 4,5 to 8 2 hours after eating. My ketones remained 1.8mmol. I’m quite shocked that my glucose is this high as I never recollect it to be like this before. I’m proper keto bellow 15 g carbs normally plus fasting. The food I had I thought would be the least damaging on the menu. I suppose it’s a learning curve. I think I heard somewhere that your body di ..read more

I have no idea what is causing that amount of variability. Posts: 2 Participants: 2 Read full topic ..read more

I swore off transfats last spring when I found that the oatmeal raisin cookies I was getting from the grocery store were increasing my blood pressure 20 points up to 130s the day after eating them. Well, this year I bought a pie for Passover Sunday, and after having one of the last pieces last Wed, I went to donate blood Thurs, and guess what my BP was? Yeah, 130/80. Just two months prior it was 100/64. That’s a thirty point jump! So, I was wondering what was going on and tonight I look at the ingredients on the box… ta da… Hydrogenated Palm oil.

I’ve been keto on and off for at least 10 years, close to carnivore for two, my metabolic markers and weight are both satisfactory to me. As far as I’m concerned, keto works, maybe carnivore works even better, and the closer I stick to the script, the better. However: Today was my anniversary. We went out, the restaurant I’d hoped to eat at apparently failed a month after I discovered it. So, we wound up at an old favorite. I ordered my fave beer. Not dry red wine.

If anyone had any doubt about the motivation of big food. I would say this article proves it only cares about the bottom line and not the health of the public. In fact big food prefers people to be large and glutinous. If you can’t see the article, I’ll try to cut and paste it in. Posts: 16 Participants: 7 Read full topic ..read more
