re: One of the best things about Keto - Diabetes control

My first question is are you using a macro tracker such as carb manager? That’s the first step...

quote:

---

Breakfast: 2 Egg cups(basically eggs, cheese, and bacon/sausage mixed and put in a cupcake tin and baked. Sometimes vegetables are added in), occasionally a few slices of avocado, black coffee no cream no sugar/sweetener

---

You have some hidden carbs in the vegetables that could be adding up.

quote:

---

Lunch: Spinach leaves, some chicken(usually get a roasted chicken at the beginning of the week and pull off it for most of the week), shredded cheese, and greek dressing

---

Again hidden carbs with the spinach as well as spinach being one of the most inflammatory foods you can eat. I would cut that out also cut out the chicken it’s too lean.

quote:

---

Dinner: usually either chicken, beef/turkey, or steak and vegetables and I try to mix in some fat(avocado, cheese, etc)

---

Again cut out the chicken, turkey, and vegetables.


I’m fairly certain you are not tracking your macros or not following a ketogenic protocol with is 75% fat, 20% protein, and 5% carbs. You are eating way too much lean meat. You need to control for calories and put yourself in a slight deficit. Download carb manager or MFP and I put your stats and select a ketogenic macro profile and go from there.
