LCHF works.Progress report after 9 months. Lipids ???

Yes Nataraj, I am happy to share my experience. My diet is not very systematic in the sense that there is no fixed meal plan. Otherwise life will become very boring. What I ensure is that I do not consume more than 100 g carbs in a day and do not stuff myself at each meal.

Early morning as soon as I get up, I take the ladies finger water (split ladies finger kept overnight in water and talking the water in the morning). Then I go for my walk and pranayaama session lasting 1 hour to 1and half hours. Then I take 1 glass freshly ground juice of bitter gourd and cucumber, 1 teaspoon phenugreek (methi) powder mixed with water, and green tea (organic India ltd., tulsi tea).

Breakfast: items made from long wheat products (upma, kanji or poori), ragi (dosa, puttu etc) or sandwich made of kraftkorn bread (50% carohydrate) two egg bulls eye, salad made of cucumber and lettuce with dressing made of fresh cream. Occasionally, I take three idlies or dosas instead of wheat prodcucts.

Morning snack at 11 am: 5-6 soaked almonds,plus butter milk or fresh lemon soda.

Lunch: 150 g cooked rice (60 g carb) made of boiled rice. All normal curries, especially those without gravy (mezhukkuperitty, thoran, avial etc) which can be taken straight without rice. There is salad made of lettuce and cucumber. Buttermilk. Fish curry or one or two pieces of chicken occasionally.

Evening snack: milked tea, small snacks not rich in carb.

Dinner: Only home made unstrained vegetable soup. Occasionally, fish or chicken in small quantity. No rice, chappathy or bread.

I do take fruits. Every day one kiwi fruit mixed with curd. sometimes one orange or two small pieces of banana.

This is my routine food. But occasional cheating or deviation due to social reasons, but keeping in mind the basic mantra of "no over-indulgance'.

I do not take ALA or any vitamin supplements. I might go in for that after I test my thyroid. Yes VCO is part of my diet.

I check my blood sugar at least 10 times a week. Any food (or its quantity) that pushes my PP beyond 140 is avoided or regulated based on this test. I check my A1C, FB and PP in lab every three months. My lipid profile is checked every six months.

I think I have the problem of liver dumping, because sometimes, I go to bed with BS level 100 and wake up with higher BS, but within 110. Trying to check it through diet.

Carb counting the key to my sugar control. Hope this answers your queries.
