Got a reprieve and I made some keto lasagna (egg/cheese noodles), which turned out as one of the best tasting 'mock' meals thus far. Wife was pissed when I told her how much cheese went into noodles though - for her, dietary fats are still unhealthy, indulgent foods eaten by people too weak to restrict their caloric intake.Janknitz wrote:Hope you took some post prandial blood sugars so you could see for yourself the effect of lentils. And show your wife.
She went shopping yesterday and got some lentils, whole-wheat pasta etc., and I can totally understand that she is trying to shop healthy for the family and it has to suck having a husband who keeps discouraging those items. As has been said earlier, the best approach for me will probably be a combination of daytime fasting with intermittent consumption of small portions of complex, non-refined carbs. This is actually not far off of the recommendations in Fung's 'Obesity Code' book. As far as I can tell, he never advocates a strictly ketogenic diet (although he doesn't discourage it either, and I can certainly see the appeal). I think I've made it clear that I'm ready to go 'all keto', but it's looking like this will be difficult for my family although I haven't given up yet.
Will definitely do some blood sugar curves to see impact of different meals... any recommendations on duration/sample interval that will best depict spikes?
