Sausages and mashed cauliflower Instead of potatoes, no carbs.
Brussels sprouts.

Ketogenic diet for diabetes and weight loss.



I don't think I can enjoy the mashed cauliflower...  But sausage and Brussels Sprouts look good.  Would you like a chicken thigh baked with green olives and shallots over angel hair spaghetti?  I'm becoming a bit addicted to that.

Pr, as a type-1 I can balance how much carbs I have with each meal and my insulin levels taken.
How many carbs are you allowed to take each day as type-2?

Ideally, 20 gr max if on a keto diet.
The body can function without any carbs at all.
Fat is used as a fuel instead of carbohydrates. Healthier.

My sister, like alot of northern folk make "freezer jam", usually raspberry or strawberry... exceptional stuff. I have three jars left and it is best on plain bagels imho.

No.  “If you stop eating carbohydrates, you rapidly lose water weight as your body breaks down the stored carbohydrates," explains Darwin Deen, MD, senior attending physician at Montefiore Medical Center's Department of Family and Social Medicine in the Bronx, New York. "The problem is that a low-carbohydrate diet is not a normal balance of physiologic nutrition. As soon as you start eating carbohydrates again, your body replenishes your carbohydrate stores and your weight comes back,"

It is the refined carbs like fructose sugars that cause some harm. 

Vegetables and fruits are carbs,  If you don't eat them, you die.

yeah have to agree with the bear here. the body does indeed need a level of carbohydrates in it, and it needs replenishing to stay healthy. I've known type 2 diabetics who do heavily balance their diet like you pr, but do take in certain carbs from fruits and vegetables and beans, monitoring themselves.

i was told as Type II, don't eat corn, beans or peas.  The vegetables with starch.  Not all vegetables are spinach.  Was told, never eat fruit, put a limit on grain and potatoes.

I'm certain I've seen pr make things with fruit on here before.

We do need some carbs. But not much.

Not for type 1 diabetes!

And you said "The body can function without any carbs at all."

I forgive you.  Have an apple...  LOL!

Correct. That was before my keto diet.
Berries are OK, I use (frozen) blueberries in my dessert with yogurt. Just a few.

I don't like mashed potatoes either. So THERE, LOL!  But because of you, I've been enjoying breakfast sausages more often.  So thank you.  ;)
