It may not be the ideal for total health compared to something like Keto, but I saw this study and was interested. They didn't change weight or calories from carbs, but cut their fasting insulin by more than 50%.

On weight loss plateaus.
I seem to be breaking out of a 4 month weight loss plateau. Back in August 2015 I remember hitting 218 lbs (5'8") and I started restricting carbs in the last week of October after getting my T2D diagnosis (I had lost 10 lbs. prior so was at 208 when I started) Weight loss was steady for 6 months, although most of it was in the first few months. For the last three months weight loss has been crappy, on average less than a pound a month on average, and in September I actually had an average gain of 0.2 lbs. Part of that is my fault for a variety of reasons. Eating too much protein is probably one culprit. Wife loves to eat out so getting too many carbs a few times a week is also not helping. Although I am lifting weights more, I don't take 40 minute walks in the evening as often mostly because there is just too much stuff to do in the yard during the summer. Towards the end of September I buckled down and started watching my protein intake and made some fat bombs for the first time to use as snacks instead of eating beef jerky and other high protein snacks. That seems to be helping as yesterday I hit a new low weight of 167 lbs. I probably have not been at this weight since the late 1980's. So to those of you hitting a wall, don't be discouraged, keep at it make small adjustments and you will probably break through. |

I just broke through a plateau as well. I was stuck at -30 pounds for about a month. It was really frustrating. I fasted for a day and it seemed to kick my metabolism back into gear. I've lost 4 pounds in the last 2 weeks! Down to 230 from 264 at the beginning of July. Only 10 more pounds to go! (That might change when I hit 220, may keep it going on down to 200).

I made the Fathead Pizza last night, and it was quite good. It is made from mozzarella, cream cheese, almond flour and an egg. Rao's Homemade Marina is low carb, and I topped it with pepperoni slices, more mozzarella, basil, oregano and parm.
The main complaint in the comments is that the crust sticks to everything. The recipe recommended parchment. I used silpats to both roll out the dough and for baking. Worked beautifully. Fathead Pizza |

When you're looking forward 8 months or a year seems like a long time, when you're looking back it doesn't seem like that long. For those of you trying to lose a lot of fat, and change your life, I know it can be frustrating. But you didn't get fat over a couple of months, and unfortunately you're not going to get unfat over a couple of months. But if you work at it. You can really make some pretty amazing changes over the next year.
Chris Pratt talks about his amazing transformation form a 300lb rolly polly kinda guy to an action hero, over an 8 month period, in this interview https://youtu.be/ODZvsOL_8d8?t=2m51s There is no secret to this, it takes time, and effort. |

Feeling pretty good at the moment, will see how sore i am in the morning. Will do it again tomorrow.

My wife made a keto/gluten free/sugar free pumpkin cheesecake this weekend. It turned out awesome. I'll get you guys the recipe if you need it.
Essentially it's the Splenda cheesecake (on the splenda website) except you sub blanched almond flour for flour in the crust, and you use 1/2 splenda 1/2 swerve. For whatever reason we've found that using Philly cream cheese in the bulk packs from Costco seems to have the best flavor/texture. |

I'm interested in sprouts.
Broccoli, sunflower, and watercress in particular. I'd like to grow them at home and incorporate them into my diet. Is anyone else doing this? |

This bread made a great pizza crust. White sauce, spinach, pepperoni, and onions made it a fantastic pizza!
It sat on a solid cookie sheet and the crust of the leftover portion got soggy. It would not have been good cold. t is a good solid bread though, and the crust toasted up nice I put it on the oven rack to warm up. Three weeks in I stalled out at 230 lbs. I'm certain that one non keto meal, and too many overall calories for a few days contributed. Last couple days I've been back on track for a total of about 1500 calories. My most recent Keto strip indicates 40 mg/dL |

I've been eating a mix of modern (>100g carb/day) and keto diet (lots of bacon and fat bombs) for the last week. I figured I'd be completely out of ketones because I was over 200g of carb on Saturday but I was still at 0.3 on Sunday, not good but I expected zero. Hadn't checked for a couple of weeks.
I'm still shedding fat and pushing under 165 lbs, not a whole lot of fat left just a bit on my belly. Just started going to the gym again also, just 20 minute combination of fast run and 3.5mph walks on the treadmill barely break a sweat. |

Ketosis isn't some mystical state that we only achieve by eating bacon. Even fat people eating Big Macs and supersized fries go into Ketosis. Everyone produces ketone bodies. The question is how often. For most people it happens after they fast overnight. So you're going to produce ketone bodies if you eat fat, and need energy from fat. Do some HIIT training, walk with purpose for 10k steps a day, and lift heavy things, and you'll rock on <100g or less a day. |

You guys gotta watch that almond flour. Can be a sneaky source of carbs if you aren't careful.
It's actually best if you try not to replicate treats and comfort foods that use almond flour (among other things). That being said, I do make those chocolate fat bombs with almond butter instead of peanut butter because I see it as the lesser evil between the two. But they do get spread out over the course of almost 2 weeks. |

View Quote I'm not sure why the carbs are such a problem in the fat bombs if I eat enough of the peanut butter fat bombs to hit 20 net carbs, I will have exceeded my calorie goal for the day by over 100 eating only fat bombs. I have gone days where i eat nothing but fat bombs. |

The Samsung health app is pretty good and summarizes macros, and I use it to calculate and track everything. The way I figure it, almond flour rolls or breads are going to be a treat once or twice a month for me. I'd honestly rather use those carbohydrates eating a salad with lots of lettuce and some cucumbers and onions or have wilted spinach with a couple of sautéed mushrooms most of the time. |

In your case, might not make a difference, but someone following a more normal eating plan (for keto/paleo that is), you might exceed your carb intake for the day. Like normal foods, it's easy to talk yourself into eating too much comfort food, because maybe it satisfies your sweet tooth or other SAD food craving. |

View Quote Curious: How long have you been doing keto? getting 0.3 the day after eating 200gr carbs is pretty remarkable. . . . . . . could even be a mistake. Unless you biked 10 miles or something. Also what was your fasting glucose that morning? This is a strange area, having elevated glucose and ketones. |
