Try going with blade roasts instead of the lean ones. They have more fat and therefore won't cause problems such as those that you described.

I am now at 60% fat, 25% protein, 10% slow carbs, and 5% fast carbs. Blood sugar most of the time is stable but like to day was running low no matter what I ate. But over all balancing out fine I have hope that I haven't caused any permanent damage. I still struggle to eat enough but am finding that I am needing less calories on this diet by about 10%. Still hate eating my vegetables but forcing my self to at them, with any luck Ill learn to like them.

The problem in general is that there's only a few I like. Corn, peas, lettuce, spinach and fresh beans off the vine, kind of a limited pallet.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't peas and beans legumes? Also corn is a grain, not a vegetable. It's pretty much empty sugar for all intents and purposes. If you're particularly sensitive to lectins then corn can also cause chronic forms of indigestion and fatigue.

You're seeing the issue all ready, but I am trying to eat other things that I normally would not touch. The corn I figured into quick carb category the one I am trying to keep under 5% of the total calorie intake.

TM still fine tuning the diet for the most part blood sugar has stabilized between 86 and 130 Ive been able to cut 300 more calories from the diet and maintain my ideal weight. Look like barring any other changes I am on the right track. I expect the Dr. to give me better news the next visit.

DC I live in the middle of nowhere no butcher just farmers and Its still 4 months before they will start butchering but when they do I will restock the chest freezer for sure. One town market will custom make sausage though.


Wolfheart The diet your recommending is nearly identical to the one I put my kids on last year to keep them In good shape. The problem for me Is that I am only half european decent apparently I inherited my father's sides metabolism. Native American whom tend to have a high instants of diabetes I believe the issue for me is I have never real eaten an native diet In my life but what I'm currently doing is closer than I have ever been before.


Dauthrsbane As to whether one type of food is more filling or not to me is not relevant because I eat out of necessity not hunger there is little joy to be found in eating at all. So yes I could eat as you described 3 packs of bacon and not blink an eye. Actually one of the meals I really enjoy I cant have like before, the breakfast supper 6 slices homemade french toast, 6 eggs, half pack bacon, a bowl corn beef hash, a bowl of two slices toast and two cups coffee with three tea spoons of sugar and cream. It was all ways made the way described at my grand parents on Saturday night for me starting at age eight when I would work the farm during the winter.


1000Knives A friend is making me beef jerky from the marbled cuts at a great price.
