baskington's Journal, 22 October 2018

starting my new week out. yesterday was high fat so that helped to jumpstart things for me unfortunately I did wake up early and naturally I had coffee to help keep me awake and going today. I forgot to test fasting but a hour after coffee my ketones were still in a reasonable level. 1.3k and 3.9 glucose. so knowing it drops the ketones and rises the glucose my levels were pretty good this morning. I had another cup of coffee to futher test things a couple hours later and 1 hour after that I was still in range, 1.3k 3.8 glucose. I ate a little after that a smaller amount of steak than usual and ate more of the fat and left some of the meat. one hour after eating my ketone was 1.3 and 4.2g .3 hour after eating my ketone dropped into the low zone .8K and 4.7g. the protein took a while to drop the ketone but I also exercised and tested right after that. it may be a factor. tomarrow I am taking a day off so I will check that also going to use the 5 hour instead of coffee if I am good! 5 hours after eating and the exercise things went great 2k and 3.8g. only problem is I was hungry, I did a second set of exercise to dull my appetite and by 2pm I just had to eat. fortunately 2 eggs in a pat of butter did little to mess with the ketones and glucose 2.k and 4.2 on glucose. 160 calories versus around 560 for breakfast. this is all going to be a learning experience for me to try to stay in a fat loss mode without dieting. I may have to break down and stay to maintenance level and just use my exercise to slowly slim down. I just do not want to drop my calories down again. hope everyone is having a great day. lots of weight loss this past weekend

I hope you find your sweet spot soon! Have you tried butter in your coffee to see if it might help keep your ketones up?

I can't handle butter either. causes gastric issues. dairy and veggies are not my friend unfortunately. ghee is worst for some reason.

Gonna try the test tomorrow?

ghee is clarified butter which means the water molecules are cooked out of it. It is so good to sautée radish leaves and carbonzo bean flour in.

Good luck with this week's experiment - hope you get to that perfect fat loss mode while not dieting - you'll work it out!

if your ketones are lower, did you consider your body is using them as energy and that's why you don't have as many circulating?

I thought ghee takes out impurities and milk protein? What is 3.9? A1c reading or something else?

Cb1006– you are right. The heating separates the liquid fats from the solid proteins. Thus more easily tolerated by lactose intolerant people. Thank you for catching that — Mia culpa

I don't know adef my fingers are getting sore from the holes I keep punching in them.

3.9 is the glucose reading CB and yes on the clarified butter comment, that is why it is odd that bothers me more than butter does.

if I was fasting Jenjabba I would think that, but eating a big meal kind of makes me think it is more about my body using the food. digestion takes a few hours and 3 hours after a meal the glucose rises and the ketones go down. I could be wrong. If I could fast all day it would be interesting to test.
