I’ve been BSD for 8 weeks and have found it very effective in reducing weight (15kg) and keeping BS in normal range. But I do still miss a really nice pudding. So I decided to do a one off experiment and find out what impact having a high fat/sugar pudding would have.

On Friday 13th I weighed 105.2 kg. Had a dinner of salmon, mushrooms and green beans at 5.30 pm. my BS at 6.45 pm was 5.

My pudding consisted of a 100 g slice of Belgium chocolate cheesecake with a 100 g serving of Cornish clotted cream. That’s 908 cals, 85 g fat and 26 g sugar. Yep I was going for a big one.

I had this fat fest at 8 pm and it was totally gorgeous. At 9.30 pm my BS was 6, I tested again 30 mins later and still 6.

On the Saturday 14th my pre and post BS levels were 5 and 5.5.

On Sunday 15th (am) my weight was 104.2 (a loss of 1 kg) and still in state of ketosis.

I’m not offering any reasons for the seemingly lack of impact of eating the fat fest pudding as I am no dietitian/scientist but the principles behind the BSD and Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) may be at play.
I don’t intend to do this every day but maybe a celebratory fat binge every now and then may not be such a bad thing.

Sounds lovely! Interesting experiment. Can I ask how you know you were in a state of ketosis? I asked in Boots for ketosis sticks but they were £30 for ten and the assistant didn’t think I’d really need them.

Hi MooLoc, I was reading the articles on Diet Doctor about Ketosis and its role in using fat as the bodies energy source. As not diabetic I don’t really need to test this but was interested to see what my body is using for its energy needs. Bought Ketostix by Bayer from Amazon. £6.50 for 50 strips. Its a colour code system so will not give precise reading just a range. I was using one a day to see if still in Ketosis but have now dropped to a few times a week just to check.

Hi Mooloc, you can get them at Asda pharmacies, £5.95
Whalleyrange, congratulations on the weight loss but that’s not an experiment I could try, just a handful of nuts at the wrong time spikes my BS

Cheers Bill I know where to go when I run out of these ketostix. If I was T2 I would never have been so rash in the fat/sugar fest. Thankfully my BS have been so stable on BSD that it was worth seeing how my body reacted. Although I try to stick to the 800 cal daily limit I still do try to include as much natural fats as possible. I thinks that what makes the LCHF way of eating so attractive and something I plan to try once I reach my target of 100 kg.
