I have been doing daily fasting blood ketone and glucose readings and I can see absolutely no correlation between the 2 at all. Ketones have been 1.5-3.0 for 3 months now and glucose is 4.2-5.9 mmol/l (75-106). The readings above 5.5 (99) do seem to correlate with a lower ketone reading sometimes. But I notice that poor/…

The only type of diet that has worked for me is ketogenic. I don't have any explanation for this but I can tell you I tried EVERY DIET KNOWN TO MAN for 5 years and just got bigger and bigger! Once I came of cabergoline I started noticing that coconut oil gave me extremely painful engorged breasts and then discovered it is…

I agree Cynderella. Very frustrating and depressing. My one endo said the same thing (no reason to gain weight) and the other said of course it causes weight gain! Unfortunately the sympathetic one left town.:sad: I was convinced I was going to end up as a 2 ton lady insert on Youtube. Primalgenix (combo of keto, primal…

Hi Rizanne. Nothing worked for me either until I tried keto. It's actually working!! :love:

Yes, you need to re-calculate your macros when you've lost weight. Just a suggestion, to try and get rid of the artificial sweetners. They can cause the weight loss to stall. There is a great Facebook group for women doing keto (Primal ketogenix for women only). Lots of Aussies on the site and really helpful, positive and…

Hi everyone. I also have a prolactinoma that has been causing me some issues. Began with sudden weight gain , very painful breast symptoms and headaches. 5 years of going to doctors and specialists and being told that at my age (47) I should expect this, stop eating so much!! I did every diet know to man and was starving…

Been doing it for 4 weeks now. Cannot believe how easy it is compared to other diets! I had tried every diet known to man without success before I tried this one. Weight is coming off at a nice steady pace and I feel full of energy and never hungry. Eating enough calories is a bit of struggle where with other diets I was…

Okay, so the post re carbs in Rooibos really ruffled me because I drink LOADS of it. I've searched more than a few sites and ALL of them have carbs at 0. Of course, this is black and bitter (no milk or sugar). Also, given that I drink so much of it, my carbs would be in excess of 100g a day if that were true but I'm…

Yes, I see what you mean about the ratios. I hadn't realised that. :-). I did add in some extra egg yolks and had the eggs devilled with creamy mayo and whipped cream. I also had a snack of 2oz of whipped cream during the day. I think I may have overdone it on the fat! Anyway, the scale is smiling at me this morning which…

I started a planned 3 day egg fast today. Had 8 boiled eggs (with required fat). Didn't go well. Felt very shaky and nauseous and now got migraine coming on. Can't explain it but I won't be carrying on with it tomorrow. I'd like to try again next week. also oddly, I was hungry all day (which I seldom am) so that was a bit…

Also found this site very helpful

HI KerryAnn, Tannum Sands, Queensland. Very much awake now. :-)

I'm a bit stuck for exercise ideas, any ideas? I need a knee replacement but am too young to have it and so am on crutches permanently. I live in a small town which does not have a public pool.
