Dr. Feinman, it's an honor, and real pleasure, to see you here and participating. I'm a patient of Dr. Westman's and have been telling him how important it is to have someone of y'all's caliber posting on these forums.
Welcome, and I look forward to reading more.
Plane,
Who had four-and-a-half markers for Insulin Resistance Syndrome before beginning low-carb last September. Now I'm down to one, low HDL numbers which don't seem to make sense except insofar as I'm still in the middle of weight loss. |
