well, I bought another cgm. Getting back on keto was nearly impossible as I would (daily) say 'hang on, I'll just have this cream bun first.' or - buy a bag of oranges and apples and carrots for the juicer. 'I'll just finish this lot first'. "I'll just finish up this bag of muesli and bottle of milk first.'
CGM says no! Cough.
I had a bowl of muesli - sugars went to 17. cripes.
so...
I said 'I'll shove this thing in my arm and just carry on as usual' but within 3 days I'm realising my sugars are constantly interstellar and really the only answer is to stop consuming them.
Also I had a great convo with a guy who's on Jiardiance. I can't have Jardiance, because my blood pressure isn't high enough and I don't have heart disease or anything.
So I felt like I was missing out. But when I looked it up, what does it do? It slurps sugars out of your blood, making you more fat adapted - your blood now provides more ketones, more fatty acids, as energy for the heart, with less glucose.
So basically, you either eat the sugars and get them removed via the kidneys and some god-only-knows-what type medication, or you just don't eat them.
I feel marginally less robbed. So many ppl I know on Jardiance losing weight like maniacs. But not saving their own lives because they're not changing their habits.
So I'm happy now. And I've made my 2 dozen sugar free jellies for the week. so I have lots of keto sneks. and a couple of cans of spray foam chocolate mousse. and some sugar free yoghurt. And much cheese, and keto wraps that I now make into pizzas, so I can get through this. I can get back in the game.
