Increasing carbs with carrots and lots of green fibrous veg works well for me, filling meals with continued weight loss and lower waking BG. Again Costco saved the day with a frozen premium stir-fry veggie mix. Heat in pan, add a protein. A carton of egg whites was eye-opening..the easiest protein to add for few calories. It took me the whole six weeks but learning the value of Cronometer to determine the nutrient density of foods is something that will last (thank you, Jean!).
One reason behind wanting to bring down my waking BG was this "lie", also an article posted last August. I can accept that low carbers can have higher LDL than "normal" and that is fine, even healthy. But the whole "adaptive glucose sparing" or "physiological insulin resistance" explanation for flat but higher BG concerned me. Could my often slightly above "normal" BG be causing health problems?. One of the NOM moderators, a soon-to-be doctor, also dropped the very low carb Keto approach to correct this issue himself. Concerns over losing metabolic flexibility, almost a "intolerance to carbs" if you will. This Program attracted sciencey types, with yet more useful information from Marty, to help me rebalance my macros...slowly. Still not to Ted Naiman's 40%P, 30%, 30%, but then that is maintenance.

Thanks, Janet. Good summary, and Keto Lie #10 is one I've paid more attention to recently. While I upped my protein a couple years ago, I now focus on nutrient density in selected vegetables to ride along with healthy, nutrient dense protein. Salmon has been one focal point, I'll have to troll for the canned fish options as well. Eating frequency, another area I've focused on over the past year, is critical, and I strongly believe that's the key to managing my waking and pre-meal BG combined with the right nutrients consumed.
Wonder if Marty plans to make his DDF spreadsheet available (happy to purchase) to enable people to move in and out of DDF periodically to perform "true ups." This would be very useful to me.
