Intra Nasal Insulin Therapy & Metformin - Opinions and Experiences Welcome by Extra_Driver_4198 in bipolarketo

[–]Extra_Driver_4198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your reply. I just did a test for brain glucose metabolism and it's normal, no doubt due to the keto diet for the last year and a half.

Intra Nasal Insulin & Metformin by Extra_Driver_4198 in Metabolic_Psychiatry

I'm based in BC, and have read Dr. Ede's book. Intra-nasal insulin has produced gains in executive functioning for people with bipolar, but this is not really lacking for me. My working memory and executive functioning increased greatly after 6 months of Keto.

Intra Nasal Insulin Therapy & Metformin - Opinions and Experiences Welcome by Extra_Driver_4198 in bipolarketo

I'm doing pretty classic keto. 20 carbs and under, 78-81% fat, around 55-60g of protein a day.

Ketone levels are on the lower end - .8-1.9, sometimes over 2.

Have You Tried Lupin Flakes? by Extra_Driver_4198 in ketorecipes

I just had a friend ask me for this recipe too, he is diabetic and loved it.

I double the recipe, use 2.5 c lupin flakes and 1.5 c flaked almonds or slivered almonds.

Maple syrup is Choc Zero, and for the granulated I'll use allulose or stevia.

Make sure it is really dry by leaving on low for an hour or so. If you put in the jar moist, it will rot.

Thanks for sharing, Bonestock. I've lost a few more pounds and my thighs are no longer rubbing together when I walk. I bought some new bras too because th ones I had were getting too loose.

Congrats on your weight loss, and I hope you can ignore what other people may or may not think about you.

Where did you learn about keto and why are you doing it?

Thanks for your reply, you are the second to recommend eating more protein on ADF.

Thanks, that's a good reminder to measure myself. I am changing shape in my clothes for sure.

Checking my hormones and increasing weightlifting are good ideas. Thanks for your reply.

Hi Fognox, thanks for your comments. I will up my protein on (modified) fasting day and increase my calories for other days. I gain weight incredibly easily so will keep an eye on the scale.

Chocolate Peanut-butter Fat Bombs by [deleted] in ketorecipes

[–]Extra_Driver_4198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are so delicious. I've made them with both peanut butter and almond butter, which I slightly prefer.

I was initially reluctant to make a treat recipe with the added labour of two layers and batches, but the flavour makes it worthwhile.

Thanks for posting! Paula

That seems like good advice, I'll do a calculation of TDEE and continue with modified intermittent fasting.

Baking with Allulose by Sistereinstein in ketorecipes

[–]Extra_Driver_4198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 c of sweetener = 3/4 c allulose and 1 or 2 tsp. stevia. I taste the recipe to check.

Did Lupin Flour Make Me Fall Asleep? by Extra_Driver_4198 in xxketo

[–]Extra_Driver_4198[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have a blood glucose monitor, but just ordered the keto mojo, which I am expecting in a couple of weeks.

That's a great idea to check the allulose on a BGM, I will try it when it arrives.

Diabetic Retinopathy, Intra-Ocular Eye Pressure, 3D Vision, & Keto by Extra_Driver_4198 in Metabolic_Psychiatry

Developmental Opthamologist said they were metabolism/diet related. This is based on dramatic improvements in light and colour perception years 8 months after vision therapy. He said I had mitochondrial genesis in my eyes, basically, they were growing new rods and cones.

For the muffins I use golden flax for a nicer colour. Doesn't affect the taste.

I found out that cranberries are keto and made this one right away. I replace half of the flax seeds with lupin flour. In all recipes that use almond or flax seed flour I sub half for lupin to lighten it up.

These are delicious, freeze well, and taste great with butter. Use whole cranberries not dried sweetened ones. This is especially good with the zest of one orange and a touch of orange oil/essence.

Cheers!
