I have been trying to make contact with them, so far, no call back yet. Maybe because of the holidays. Do you know if they take insurance?

Thanks!


Last I checked for a friend, he is only at the HEALClinic on Mondays (using another doctor's office that day) and his "office staff" is a remote worker. She emailed me the package pricing used there. They don't take insurance but give you a "superbill" you could then submit to your insurance company. Duke does take insurance, but yours might balk at the 'hospital' charge. If you phone Duke for an appointment, they will likely say it is six months out for a first appointment, but then very often, there will be cancellations. Keep calling! Or we can meet. The library has his clinic diet in the back of Why We Get Fat...in fact I picked up a few extras copies of that book at the County used Book Sale last week...happy to give you books I was going to donate to the support group anyway. You can PM me by joining this forum, or write out your email here and we can arrange to meet. I also have a five page document of LC resources with a zillion hyperlinks I can email you...all the books listed are in the Wake Cty Library system or they are free websites, videos, etc.

I told her that what she ate was her business, I was merely telling her why I believe that LCHF is best for ME. She's only 55. Maybe by the time she's my age, she'll figure it out.



Yes! When I go low carb I'm not as hungry... So it's easy not to eat. But when I get hungry I'm definitely hungry.

I'm looking forward to the change!

Note to Randy: Nice to meet you, too. However, please start a new thread over on the Introduce Yourself section. That way you can get your own personal welcome.

Best wishes.

Good, but don't know if I am going on the 5th yet. I will attempt to message you on FB...but be warned, I don't use FB for anything except that group, all notification and messages are shut off for me, and it is a different name (and no names on any public site are my actual one )

Tomorrow I start! Going to start with fasting food to begin with, like Dr Fung suggests to do. Someone prayed for me tonight, and I really felt such confirmation that God is in this! So excited! Thank you again everyone! And Happy New Year!!!
