Wow! Great job! You're probably just experiencing "keto flu" is kind of like a detox. It shouldn't last too much longer. I would say, if you want to reap all the benefits is ketosis, you should aim for 20 net carbs per day. That will help get you deeper into ketosis and your appetite will really start to disappear. You can expect a pretty consistent 1-2 lb loss per week that way. Keep me posted! I've lost 37lbs but I'm trying to start losing again. Adding gluten back in for my celiac testing really stalled my weight loss.

Thanks.  :)  Yeah, I've been slowly leaving the keto flu behind.  My total carbs is usually between 20 and 30 except for a couple of blips.  I bought those keto stix and they say I'm usually in small to moderate ketosis.  Looks good so far.

 

This morning my fasting BG was 3.8!  I've NEVER been that low.  Ever! And I felt perfectly fine too.  :D

 

I bet adding gluten in stalled things for you!  37lbs is great!  I'll be happy with 1-2 lbs per week.  By winter maybe I'll get to what you've accomplished.

 

Have a good weekend.

Congrats! My fasting has not been that low since my diagnosis and I began tracking. I have been happy with a 5! I confess that my carbs are still probably too high. I eat too many veggies! Oh, well!

That 5 is really good!  :)  I can't get there with lots of veggies - yet.

 

That 3.8 of mine was the lowest ever.  Plus I had been for a walk the night before so that probably helped.  Usually I am a 4.4 to a 4.8.  I get 5's once week.

 

About a week ago I had "higher carb" day at about 60 g (onions and green beans at dinner) and my fasting BG was back to a 5.6.  I'll probably add more veggies back in after a few months to see if I can keep my BG at 5 or lower.

Update on me... It's all about me, ya know.  ;)

 

I'm still doing a ketogenic diet and loving it.  My hair and skin are better.  My knee OA is way better and my hip OA is somewhat better. My blood glucose levels are generally down, although my FBG has been bouncing into the prediabetic range over the last week, but I think that might partially be caused by my being sick (shingles and I think I'm getting my kids' cold). No more AI issues.  I've also lost 25 lbs in about 10 weeks, which is good for me as I was only 20lbs above my normal BMI.

 

I haven't had any blood tests done, but I'm curious to see what this has done for my triglycerides, HDL, LDL, Lipoprotein a, blood pressure, IGF-1 (was a bit high) and vitamin A (I was low in this).

 

Anyways, very low carb high fat (vLCHF) diets work well for this celiac.  :D

Hey thats great you kept it up. Ive had one break because I got very acid and some muscle wastage but now im doing better, i take whey powder for extra protien now. My kidney function more than doubled and my inflamation got less after 3 weeks in ketosis and held there since. The strange thing is  I can now tell when im going into ketosis with 100% accuracy. I can have a negative pee strip then an hour later my heart rate will increase and ill know the next strip will be maximum ketones. Im eating less meat this time. More green juice and more total protien. Mostly i notice my skin better. It seems a fail proof cure for acne.

I've added protein powder too. It does help.  :)

 

Yeah, thanks for the nudge towards the diet.  I've been really happy with it and can foresee doing it for a long while.  Thanks.  :)

 

I'm glad you are still doing well and finding what works for you too!  Neat how you are so in tine with your body now.

      Just so you'll know, once you have been gluten-free for any length of time, it will invalidate testing for celiac disease.

      Yes. I have not been tested for celiac. It took forever to get diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. lol. I have an appointment with my regular GP later this month and will convey my findings on improved symptoms and see what his thoughts are. Thank you.

      @Grahamsnaturalworld, It's never too late.   Have you been checked for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth?  SIBO can cause ongoing symptoms.  Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Histamine Intolerance (HIT) can also be the cause of ongoing symptoms.  The AIP diet can help with these by starving out SIBO bacteria and calming the immune system. Do you include dairy in your diet?  Casein in dairy can cause an autoimmune response the same as to gluten.  Have you been checked for lactose intolerance?  Some people lose the ability to produce the enzyme, lactase, needed to digest lactose, the sugar in dairy because the villi where the lactase enzyme is made are damaged.  AIP diet excludes dairy. Do you include grains in your diet?  Gluten free alternative grains and ancient grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms.  Some people with Celiac react to corn and oats.  The AIP diet excludes all grains.  Lectins in grains can be inflammatory and cause symptoms. Do you eat nightshades (tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, and eggplant).  This family of plants produce glycoalkaloids, chemicals that promote Leaky Gut Syndrome.  The AIP diet excludes nightshades.   Are you on any medications?  Some medications can cause gastrointestinal symptoms.  Do you take any supplements?  Some herbal teas and supplements can cause digestive symptoms.  Medications for diabetes, antidepressants, and other pharmaceuticals can cause digestive symptoms as side effects. Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Malabsorption of essential nutrients can occur with continued symptoms.  Deficiencies in Niacin, Thiamine, and other B vitamins can cause digestive symptoms.  Gastrointestinal Beriberi and Pellagra are often overlooked by doctors because they are not familiar with nutritional deficiency disease symptoms.  Nutritional deficiencies can worsen over time as stores inside the body are depleted.   Have your doctors checked for all these?   I had a horrible time getting my symptoms under control.  I had to answer all these questions myself.  Yes, it's frustrating and exasperating because doctors don't have to live with these symptoms everyday.

      Ok, thanks for the advice, the only advice I've had that's made sense after 21years since my slight symptoms all my life turned into nasty symptoms 21 yrs ago and around 50 gp's and specialists all chasing the symptoms and not looking for the cause, after 9 years of misery I discovered my symptoms matched celiac disease and a blood test proved anti bodies to gliadin but it was too late it has changed into r.c.d. thanks again.

      Welcome to the forum, @QueenBorg! Just for the sake of clarification, your desire to avoid gluten is connected only with your dx of fibromyalgia and not celiac disease, correct?
