I might just do that because I don't need people who are not considering my whole well-being and questioning/undermining what my own family doctor and I are investigating and trying to see the actual results, which seem to be more so in favour of low carb. Thanks again :)

Thank you all :). I was keeping mine around 20g, except for Tuesday night (so I'm sort of starting over again). I'll continue with my goal of 20g for a few weeks anyways and consider raising it a bit from there. I'm a bit nervous about increasing sodium in particular, only due to edema and a heart problem; but I think I…

I checked her business card and it does say BSc. RD. I see her again in a few weeks, so I will check then where/when she received her education. I have a feeling she may just stick with the basic teaching they have about nutrition and managing blood sugars, which is sad. Thanks again :)

That's amazing :). I'm glad your daughter is doing so well. I'm getting the same thing from these two professionals ... basically that I am putting myself at medical risk of going into a coma; but I have been very responsible to watch my bloodsugars and have tested more often than usual (just to be more vigilant) and my…

The one at the drug store supposedly is a dr; but she talked to me like "if I was going to continue low carb I was making a bad choice for my health". She talked like she was scolding a 2 year old. The other was a licensed dietician; and she was quite negative but didn't talk to me like I was a stupid child. I know my…

I have read some of the info at the links; but not all of them yet. From what I read so far, it seems that you can start with 20g of carbs to put you in ketosis and then raise it from there (sometimes to a max of 50g) to stay in ketosis. I think this is the range I will need to stick with to be low carb; but I am not…

Thanks :). And congrats to you for having a successful experience :). I know I was feeling more energy and emotionally was feeling more up/positive until I let what they said get to me and had pizza. I'm feeling better now thankfully. I am going to have to look into the sodium, potassium and magnesium that people who do…

Thanks. The dietician is at the local grocery store where I shop and the wellness dr is at the local drug store where I get my prescriptions. If they become too pushy, I will move on. Thanks again :)

Thanks. They both we quite aggressive in arguing their point of view. And it did influence me to eat pizza the other night... and physically I was SO miserable afterwards, and the next day I was not well, in general. I just won't engage them them they approach that subject again, as I know they will. I even have proof from…

Thank you :). I will take a look at it :)

Thank you :). I'm not feeling good tonight after having a piece of pizza ... I regret my choice and will be glad when I get back on track.

That's super that the diet has helped you, even though you're not certain what helped. Take care and I'm glad you're feeling better :). Elizabeth Maryam

I wrap the pork loin in bacon. You can do a lattice work of bacon and wrap it around the roast and bake it like that. Leftovers can be used in lettuce wraps or even a meat pie with gravy (without potatoes and other starchy vegetables) and you could make a "thin" crust of pastry or biscuit (measure ingredients to know what…

Thank you :). And I appreciate you accepting my friend request. What does your dr think of you going LC? I was updating my doctor today and she just wants to be sure I consume some carbs and not have a zero; but I told her I am staying around 20. I may up it a bit perhaps, as I see your number is 30 ... so maybe I have…

I'm glad you found answers for yourself. I find it is a journey that never seems to end, but I am glad I am finding answers along the way :). Take care :)

I'm glad you're enjoying your "first" protein drink. The first one I had was disgusting and grainy; but, after going to a nutrition store, I was able to get a good quality one that blends really nice and smooth. *bottoms up :) Take care :) Elizabeth Maryam

Thank you for sharing your information. Did you discontinue it because of digestive issues you have yourself? If so, did you find an improvement since you discontinued it? Or was that just a note you were mentioning for my information? I didn't realize that whey protein was made from a "waste" (my word) product from cheese…

Thank you. I will take a look at the link and input my information to see what it suggests. Thank you :) Elizabeth Maryam

No worries :) I was asking about the connection as I had read in some other post's comments about this subject and didn't exactly understand what they were talking about, and being new to LCHF and "ketosis", etc. I figured it was better to go ahead and ask. The whey protein I have, is solely a protein powder and doesn't…

Thank you. I almost died when I was 44/45 from "out of control" blood pressure that the drs could not figure out the source of the problem nor could they manage it (even with 3 different drugs. After about 8 months of having very high blood pressure, it went back to normal (like it was before) and despite many extensive…

Thank you :) Wow, I didn't know that half our protein converts over to glucose. Where I live, you can only get an appointment with the dieticians who specialize in blood sugars ONLY if you are insulin dependent and my body makes too much insulin for some reason, and puts me into a severe hypoglycaemic state quite often.…

Lol. Thanks for sharing :)

You look amazing !! Very inspiring for anyone reading, especially us "older" people ... I'm 48, and partways to my goal. How are you doing with maintenance? And again, congratulations, you look terrific !!

I'm working on Jillian Michaels BodyShred. We could work together as we progress with our JM workouts if you are interested. With this DVD program you take one day off a week, with four days doing the regular workout and two days doing her cardio workout. Best wishes to you :) ~ Elizabeth Maryam
