The ketogenic diet is a high-fat, adequate-protein, low-carbohydrate diet:

May I suggest you do some research on the Ketogenic Diet. It is a huge lifestyle change, but is totally worth it. Ketogenic lifestyle requires that you cut out almost all carbs. You eat less than 20g of carbs a day, moderate amount of protein 50-100g/day (60-75 is ideal for most people), and 100-150g fat/day. It is a high fat diet that switches your body from using carbs for energy to using fat for energy.
It is an insulin sensitizer. Low carb / ketogenic diet combined with metformin can be a great help in managing diabetes. How is your Hba1c? Normal is ideally close to 5.0, but at least try to get lower than 6.0. If your hba1c is high then there can be many complications. Thus getting your blood sugar to normal levels should be first priority.

key words will be low-carb, and keto. If you do look into ketogenic diet, do not use it as an excuse to eat too much fat; if you want to lose weight fat has to be limited to fats that come naturally with the foods that you eat, rather than lots of extra fats being added.

Hi,
a1c of 6.3 means an average blood sugar of around 140. This is too high. Ideally hab1c should be < 5.0.
What to do:
1. Low carb diet (if your body can't handle carbs, then you need to reduce them sticking to mainly non-starchy veges as carb source. Lots of good online info for dietary management - ketogenic / low carb/ modified atkins etc).
2. Daily exercise (including aerobic / weights)
3. Lose weight if overweight.
Low carb, adequate protein, fat for energy balance - otherwise known as ketogenic of low carb diet. In this diet carbs are typically restricted to 30g or less per day. This diet also includes abundant non-starchy, non-sweet vegetables and plant foods.

I don't know the full answer to your question, but I do know there is supposed to be a food grade form. The kind you find in nurseries or in pet stores is the wrong grade. One pet store where I live sells it for people who have hens and it's meant to be for their dust baths. The plant nurseries sell it for insect control, and it works great for killing pests like fleas in the home. I do know there is a food grade form, but as far as how safe it is for health benefits, I'm unsure.
I think somebody is messing with you.
A healthy diet involves lots of vegetables, fruit and lean meat and nuts. Portion control and avoiding sugar and empty calories (such as fast food and sweet drinks) is a sensible way to improve health and lose weight. You don't have to go hungry. I find having veggies at breakfast helps me stay full all morning. Have a snack of fruit. Even a banana is fine as it is filling and full of nutrition.
Sorry Lu but I beg to disagree about the fact that Swank has never been proven to make a difference in MS. In fact his ground breaking research on MS which started in the late forties and continued for over 30 years is absolutely breathtaking in the comparison between the health of those who kept to the diet and those who didn't. The only reason the medical community rejected it was because it adhered to medical trial standards that were acceptable to 1940 methologies.
