my typical breakfast was the
greek yogurt
a teaspoon of the powdered cinnamon stir it in the plain yogurt looks like it is chocolate color.
then drop some nuts say walnuts or almonds or brazil .
this is a very high protein high fat meal with very little carbs.
you can vary it with a few blueberries or a small banana.
I could list what fruits work for me, but you could be different as body chemistry matter.
Bad fruit for me:
Oranges
Grapes
Raisins.
Good fruit.
Blueberries
Strawberries
Banana
Apples
Pears .
Worst foods.
Bread
Pasta
cereals.
As for a1c I was 12.1 when discovered which is basically dude you are dying do something.
With my a1c in the 5.3 to 6.3 range itmis much much much better.
Salted grass fed butter, other dairy stuff and eggs keep you alive and induces/maintains ketosis.
There's just the little problem that muscle needs carbs to be build, and there you are challenged to find the most tolerable form of carbohydrates for yourself.
It hasn't to be much, but a few calories before you get to physical work - preferably in the form of green vegetables (including potatoes). Ditch fruits, they are almost poison for a perfectly working metabolism. You could mix in coffee, which acts as an insuline moderator. It does produce an initial blood sugar spike in healty people when consumed with carbs, however. If you didn't already do so, there's a bit to reseearch about coffee and its effects on insuline in various combinations, but it may be of some value for you.
Yeah, we could definitely need more rocket-type memes again in these here parts!
interesting you are anti fruit.
I do various cheese mostly goat or sheeps milk based
tons of meat
some fish
I am in ketosis as I raise my blood sugar while sleeping. My body converts my fats to sugar.
I will go to sleep at 110 and wake up at 123. That is a pretty good sign of ketogenesis.
So basically I generate carbs while sleeping 💤
I suspect my Norwegian grandmother is where the genes came from to do that.
Body type. Gene background helps to know about yourself clocking what you eat has real meaning.
Figure out what crushes your numbers.
Oh beer = really really really bad.
but hard liquor straight up is okay.
Now that does not meanmImcan drink a pint of vodka a day.
But I can drink 1 or 2 shots of most any hard liquor day after day with no apparent harm.
BTW I do not drink 1 or 2 oz a day. More like 1 or 2 oz a week.
I gave up on all beer as 1 bottle will hurt my numbers for 2 or 3 days.
