83 for me this morning.

Yesterday I crashed into bed at 7 PM and got up this morning at 6:30. Nearly 12 hours of much needed sleep

Never been here



I never run a fasting lower than 150...I was a 109 this morning and a 119 yesterday!!! What is different is that I have done a 20 minute exercise dvd after dinner or even later...I dislike exercise ..but this plus the LCHF diet plus the Forum might be the answer...too bad I have to be 64 ( triple bypass and 3 stents later) to get it....Thats OK I am very thankful and know it is a daily battle....It is a beautiful day in the desert today.:nod::nod::nod:

A 109 this morning. That would be a 6.1 at the Olympics and not good enough for a medal.

Hi, I didnt know peanuts were bad or I would not eat them. I thought it was good, so I bought some.

I think I will just go 'green'. All this can and cannot is driving me a little dotty. Green is easier in summer, and its our winter till end Aug when one looks for warmer foods, but we have lovely warm days in-between like this week. So back to salads with occasional seafood. :)

Tish,

Peanuts aren't a "nut" - they are actually a member of the legume family. They pack quite a carbohydrate punch, so from our point of view "moderation" is the word!

Much better are things like Walnuts, Pecans, Hazelnuts and Almonds. An ounce or two of those make a much better snack for us :)

No kidding. And don't forget macadamias! Those little fat packing powerhouses. Lol

121?!? What the heck? Could it've been the cashews I had for dinner? I mean like my WHOLE dinner. I ate almost a cup of 'em thinking they were basically carb-free. :eek: :(

Cashews are very high in carbs, especially in starch and also sugar. Net carbs are about 27 gms in a small serving of 100 gms

163 for me. The addition of Artane to my med regimen for myoclonus has helped some. The really violent shaking and jerking is reduced to only two bad episodes a day - worst at night before bed when I'm tired. I can't tell if this is related to glucose swings or not. I'm following with interest the adventures of you all in Sweden and S. Africa. I have a few friends in Durbin, but I've never been able to get a sense of what it looks like. Anybody want to post some photos?
Tamagno are you looking for pictures of Durban-KZN or is there a place Durbin? I havent tried posting a pic, but would like to assist if I can. I hope you feel better and I noticed that your numbers have come down :)
