What do you eat?
It seems like most foods have carbs and I'm constantly hungry eating right. What do you eat regularly?
Keto, mostly carnivore. I stay away from all grains, flours, starchy vegetables and sugar sweetened beverages. I limit fruits , nuts , seeds and leafy green and cruceferous vegetables to under 20 grams a day.
My last a1c was 5.4.
My staples are eggs, beef, butter, pork, fish and other animals of all types, the fattest cuts I can get.
Hi

thanks 😊
That's a great A1C!
just checking in on how you have been managing your hunger? Any improvement? Please update us. Thanks. Shelley, community moderator 🇨🇦 thanks lauren. i did get approved for Medicaid so I have that and Medicare now. I’m waiting for details on the “rules” to come. I was approved at one point for low income housing in Montana, but by the time it was approved my mom was too sick to leave her alone. So seems like i’m permanently stuck in California, town with a dying population. think we’re down to 13,000 or so, but they count the prisoners cause they have a mailing address. Two prisons left, one closed. Biggest employers since the lumber industry went out of style. But I’ve been thru Montana a number of times. Gorgeous 🏔️🏞️❄️🦬🦌🍂🍁🌦️🌤️
No problem: no sweets, no starches, no alcohol (just water and unsweetened ice or hot tea or coffee; only moderate to low carb vegetables and fruit, lots of protein & (mostly) healthy fats. Cheese and berries for dessert.
My A1C’s 7.1, still higher than it should be, but it’s down from 7.3, and going in the right direction. Jardiance has tamed the wake up effect, so I’m eager to see if my next A1C is under 7.
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that your A1C is moving in the right direction. That must be such a good feeling. Fingers crossed that your next reading is below 7. You got this 😀. - Cody (Team Member)
