I think I'm OK with avocados, because I've tested them
and also eliminated them at one point. My postprandial
readings are almost identical after a plain piece of
meat, or a piece of meat with a 1/4 of an avocado.
I'm almost positive I'm bleow 120 grams of protein,
but I'll check it out. As far as carbs go, I'm
usually in the 20-30 gram range max. What convinces me
that I'm in ketosis its that I'm burning up way more
than 20-30 grams of carbs exercising.
Jim, if I remember correctly, you were one of the
persons who spoke up in the earlier discussion.
Weren't your reading in the high 90's at one point as
well?
Thanks
