I begun my LC journey 5 weeks ago. Being a T2 diabetic and my focus had been on eating " healthy and wholesome " foods for years. With meds and exercise I have had excellent success at keeping my a1c around 5.8 and basically going along.
What triggered for me a need to improve and re-self-educate is the fact I know that the meds have side effects and the Medical establish ( at least the group I have access to) are very brainwashed negatively about possible healing and even reversing a diabetic T2 once they get diagnosed.
I came across the books "wheat belly and grain brain". Wow, talk about eye-opening ! So for the last 5 weeks I have committed myself to a basically LCHF ,modified Atkins woe for myself.
Now, here is the turtle factor :) So far, my mood have improved dramatically, the cravings and compulsion for eating carbs have gone into remission, my libido has returned and my pants have gone down 2 sizes. BUT, the scale hasn't budged ! I tell myself in time it will, but still there is that impatient part of me who demands the "numbers" show the feedback of success. Talk about impatient !
I am posting to share and hopefully hear from others about their journey.
Together we can do what we cannot do alone.
