Hi All,
Last year was life-changing. After getting my routine blood work, my doctor said I had elevated lipoprotein(a) levels and abnormal cardiac risk relative. The doctor said there wasn't anything I could do, because I seemed to be relatively healthy. I decided I needed to change my eating habits. Consequently, I read two books that forever changed the way I look at food.
Eat to Live by Dr. Fuhrman and How Not to Die by Dr. Greger. My husband and I decided to try the Eat to Live diet with my father-in-law, who was suffering from hypertension for decades. It was incredibly hard at first. I couldn't stop dreaming of bread, but our resolve was strong and we were in it together.
After just one month, my husband and I each lost 10 pounds and my father-in-law lost a whopping 20 pounds and stopped requiring both his hypertension medications! We were dumbfounded. How can food be so life-transforming?!
From then on, I was convinced.
So, here I am. Still low-carb and 10 pounds lighter. I want to lose another 5-10 pounds, but I think it'll take some time, so I hope to make new friends and get motivated!
Cheers,
Connie
