Blood sugar

I want to do keto and for the life of me I can’t make it but a day or 2 max then break it.

 

I experience zero keto flu. Just food cravings get me and I’m done.

 

What exactly do you eat on a daily basis? Let's see a food journal.

 

I have extensive experience with fasting, intermittent fasting, and keto.

In my experience, the first few days of a fast and the first few days of starting keto are by far the hardest.

I did a solid 4 months of almost zero carbs. Only carbs I got were from avocados. Literally got back to my high school weight and pants size from high school at age 42. 28 waist and 135 lbs. Been truck driving almost 2 years waist is 30 and weight is 145. I do intermittent fasting pretty much every day. I consume carbs now however I regularly consume high fat/no carb meals.

I did 17 days on master cleanse (no solid food) once. First 3 days are the hardest. By the end I wasn't hungry at all. Transition back to solid food messed up my digestion pretty bad tho.

None of this is medical advice.

 

There are other factors besides your blood sugar. What other health issues are you dealing with? My A1C is all over the place, gets checked every 90 days (+/-) and it's been between 7.5 and 9.4 the last 5 checks. I take Metformin and Glipizide to control my sugar levels. The DOT Doc. will give me a 2 yr card as my levels are decently controlled, BUT, the killer is the other drugs I'm on for BP and cholesterol, those earn me a 1 yr card. Before you renew your DOT, I would go see your primary care Dr. and get checked in general.

I have a friend who knew his A1C was high, he did the at home tests, but he was unaware that he had a couple other issues going on. Had he only gone to the DOT Doc., they would have parked him, his PCP found a thyroid issue, his BP was way too high (even resting) and he had UTI. The BP and thyroid issue would have parked him for 6 months if the DOT Dr. had caught them, since his PCP caught them a month before he saw the DOT Dr., he was able to get a 1 yr card.

Also, the whole pre-diabetic thing changes every year, when I was first warned of it back in 2012, I was at 90, 110 was considered diabetic. I lost 18 lbs with exercise, but not diet change, when I went back a year later, I was down 18 lbs but my sugar was up to 97, Dr. said if it kept going up he would put me on meds. The following year my weight held, but I was up to 110.

Also, a lot of these diabetic drugs have some nasty side effects. I was on regular metformin, 1,000 mg 4x day, I would get horrible nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, to the point that just blowing my nose would cause me to vomit, I couldn't eat breakfast (within 2 hrs of taking the pills) without getting horrible diarrhea. 18 months ago my Dr. changed me to Metformin extended release, 2x 500 mg 2x per day and that stopped those other issues.

My last diabetic check, I was down 12 lbs (I was shocked) and my A1C was at 8.4, to reduce the metformin dosage, I need to get my A1C under 7 and keep it under 7.

 

Well, I am diabetic. 120 is really good. 1 year card for all diabetics not on insulin.

 

Don't do that if you enjoy your teeth honey is terrible on your teeth. Just throwing out there best way get healthy to do walks do a 15 min walk one way and walk back you just did 30 mins walking then get up further I don't do time I do distance now 5 miles to walk to the lake and then walk more around the lake to fish I tried to measure around areas fished am a bass fisherman but every time I take my truck next water or something it gets stuck somehow.

so I just only consider the walking to and from the lake so 10 miles a day I take a small break when get there to eat then I fish been working on my tan too so I am doing multiple things though couple weeks ago managed to get 2nd degree burns so there's that too. let me tell you it hurts to move with 2nd-degree burns but I still managed go for walks even with burns to do the point I am making is you must start somewhere if you enjoy that size keep doing the same thing.

If you want different results you much change your lifestyle include 10 pushups every week or something and try increase I do them every day 100 most my workouts are strength exercises not for mass I prefer to be able do MMA still I used to be bulkier but I lost weight because was getting harder to fight bigger I got
