DAY 5, INSULIN RESISTANCE REVERSAL DIET

THE VIDEO VERSION

This is the first time I checked my fasting blood sugar since I started my 70-15-15 INSULIN RESISTANCE REVERSAL DIET on Oct 18, 2018. I must say I’m pleased with the result of 6.3 and am confident as I deplete my store of lipoproteins through exercise, it’ll get even lower. Restricting my oils and fats intake to 15% is one thing, but the existing store of lipoproteins need to be depleted, too.

This was after my two ulam with rice meals for lunch and dinner yesterday. See the video.

Keto advocates had better hold your horses and wait for 90 days when my INSULIN RESISTANCE REVERSAL DIET should show some definitive results.

Five days is too early to jump to conclusions, but I’m happy I’ve already made a small step in the right direction.

The key takeaway: a keto diet of 70% oils and fats causes lipoprotein overload thence insulin resistance which manifests itself as high blood glucose indicating a diagnosis of Non-Insulin Dependent Type 2 Diabetes.

EXERCISE

Walked to Kakak Yuni the tailor, then Alpro. Checked fasting blood sugar. Walked to S Win  Banana Leaf, had tosai. Walked to laundry, the Pasar Mini UKAZ, then SEGI Fresh. Bought kyuri and red capsicums. Then harvested ornamental palm seeds. Still needed to sweat more, so pruned ficus hedge, then cut three bamboo poles. Dragged them to my Pinz.

Kak Yuni was still sewing the pockets of Mark 2 of Plebeian Panache hessian bags. She said will be completed after she picks her kids from school. She’s moving in Dec as her landlord has sold the land for development. She’ll be opening a counter at a laundry in Jalan Mawar - more excercise for me as its further.

On another development, spoke to the JMB management and have secured an allotment at the carpark - suitable for lemongrass and turmeric.

Finished at 1245 hrs and then had a scalp massage followed by an FIR sauna.

Collected my bags about 1630 hrs and then went to Petaling Street to check out the bags sold there. Around 1800 hrs, suddenly felt hypo and had a herbal tea and grass jelly without the sugar syrup. Hands were still shaking and jittery. Had a rojak and a young coconut at a stall along Cecil Street. Baru rasa lega. This doesn’t happen on a keto diet, the sudden crash. Mental note to self - have to be careful and obviate this in future. The other thing I noticed is that my farts are beginning to get stinky and bau masam. When on keto, flatulence tends to be sweet and aromatic, thanks to the ketones.

Then, around 2030 hrs had a bowl of fish ball soup at The Chicken Rice Shop in 1Utama, drink was air kosong. The next time I check my fasting blood sugar will be on Wednesday morning. Will make another report then.
