I try to eat according to macro ratios. 65 to 75% fat; 20% protein & 5% or less carbohydrates.

Fats: Butter, coconut oil, olive oil, bacon & bacon fat added to all meats and green vegetables I eat. I eat the skin off chicken, eat the fat off steak and prefer the less expensive fatty mests. I eat high fat sausages, summer sausage etc to insure I'm driving up the fat ratios. I eat an avocado or two per day. I eat rich fatty cheese, I eat sesame oil, avocado oil etc. I avoid all vegetable oils like the plague....

Proteins: I eat fatty proteins such as ribeye steaks, chicken +skin of thighs and drumsticks, same with turkey and Cornish hens ( I let the wife eat the breast meat as it's not as fatty and she likes them) I eat fish with skin on, sardines, smoked oysters, all sea foods dipped in copious amounts of fats via melted butter, I eat 3 or more eggs a day cooked in butter, bacon bacon bacon. I make a fatty pot of low carbohydrate chili and each serving gets sour cream & cheddar toppings, if it's a meat high in fats it's on the menu without exception unless it's ribs with bbque sauce ( a big no no) my ribs are smothered with a dry rub and butter sauce only. ■■only eat protein in reasonable and moderate levels. If you're binging just eat the fattest thing I c as n find and hunger goes away and blood sugar stays low, try to choose Fat over even protein■■

Carbohydrates; All leafy greens are okay served with high fat low sugar dressings only with your salads. I eat broccoli, spinach, kale, seaweed, collards, turnip greens, lettuce, zucchini, yellow squash etc. No starchy veggies ever. Also when eating any veggies I always look at the amount to insure I'm staying within my 30g rams per day limit.

I'm diabetic as well and I've been debating going back on a similar diet. It does work and it seems that I can only lose weight when I drastically restrict carbs. The stress on the kidneys from eating this was scares me a little.

Congrats keep up the good work.

■■■ A high protein diet can stress kidneys. A high fat diet does not. Usually a high protein diet is of concern if your kidneys are already weakened from disease or poor function. Ketogenics is a high fat & moderate protein and low carbohydrate program. It's highly satisfying to eat too. Wright loss is slower than Atkins at first because you are eating higher calories in fat. But after 3 to 4 weeks if you stick to it you will lose 2 to 3 lbs a week. When I started 11 weeks ago I was eating 3 to 4k calories per day with 75% coming from fats. By week 4-5 I noticed I was eating 1200 to 1600 calories per day while still eating 65 to 72% fats. As I adapted to fat burning I was needing less substance for energy because when I'm not eating I'm efficiently burning my own body fat...

Honestly read up on this ketogenic dieting on line with Dr Volkes, Noakes, Dr Attia and others have excellent youtube lectures. I especially liked the Dr Jason Fung series of videos regarding the etiology of obesity and diabetes lectures. I'm planning on adding intermittent and hard fasting to my plan as well...

I was shooting insulin 5 to 6 times a day. My doctors said get used to essentially...At one time I was taking 2000 mg of metformin, Novo log fast insulin injections for before meals and Lantus slow insulins at night before going to bed. I was indeed turning into a nonstop shoot me up human pin cushion.

By day 3 of eating ketogenics high fat moderate protein & low carbohydrate my sugars began to rapidly normalize. Prior to this diet approach I would have sugars swing from 55 to over 300 with 60 day averages in the 150 to 170 range. After starting ketogenics my sugars swing from 90 to 135 with 60 day averages of 115. ALL WITHOUT ANY DIABETES MEDICINES.MY BELLY IS MUCH HAPPIER NOW....

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

I work with a physician who preaches this as the absolute most beneficial way of eating there is. I believe him, and I'm sure you do too now!!!! Great job, congratulations!!!!!!!!!

It's been a godsend to my diabetes. Hey guys than run ultrmarthon races eat a ketogenic diet for goodness sakes and they are smashing records too. The LA LAKERS are adopting it too and the country of Sweden has new government guidelines adopting high fat, moderate protein low carbohydrate eating. Their review of all the old and current data has shown then that the FDA guidelines are what started making us sick to begin with. If you want to avoid getting fat or diabetes you have to embrace the fats and remove these or greatly restrict carbohydrate.

I found this 1960 episode of Andy Griffith Show on this very topic. See at one time when most of America was skinny even they knew carbohydrates were at the center of obesity and diabetes...

This is short yet ironic....
