Let me answer for my hubby too... (you can see his transformation in my link as well)
he had almost 5 years of low carb under his belt when he decided to ditch all the carbs and go ZC with me a year ago.
In a very short time he had massive health improvements:
*lifelong constipation issues 100% GONE
*concentration issues 100% GONE
*sleep issues, teeth grinding, nightmares, night sweats GONE
*lack of energy and motivation GONE
*dry skin, itchy anus and hair loss GONE (we even swear there is some growing back, he has been losing his hair since he was 16)
*losing the last 20lbs he never managed to lose on Atkins as well as keeping his muscle mass that did not happen when he was on Atkins.
None of those issues were helped on low carb, but when he went to ZC they disappeared almost over night.
My brother is ZC right now, after years of thyroid issues, depression, anger issues, skin issues (psoriases), cataracts (he had surgery 2 years ago, he is only 38), gluten issues, chronic pain (anklyosing spondylitis). he was tested for lupus and celiac. His Doctor is stumped... He was not obese, he is 5'11" and started at the end of Dec at 205 and was down to 185 by the end of February. He is not 100% well just yet, in fact he still has a long way to go... but he knows now that eating this way is the only way for him to live any kind of life worth living. Just being able to get out of bed in the morning without pain is a gift for him.
