I have done many diets, even low carb before. This has been the first time I have changed my lifestyle. I was diagnosed with Metobolic Syndrome. After reading the Schwarzbein Principle, I finally "got" it. I was not able to metabolize sugar at all, and hadn't for many years. I have advanced arthritis in my left knee and was hardly able to walk. After two months, I am now riding, outside, on my bike 5 miles a day, 6 days a week(the first mile is a gradual but steady incline!) swimming 30 minutes 4 days a week and doing free weights.
After 2 months of no sugar, flour, etc, I had a piece of my husbands birthday cake. That night I laid in bed, all night with severe pain in my lower leg. That totally convinced me of how I was poisioning my body. As I said, this is a lifestyle change for me. I am anxious to have my bloodwork done again next month.
My cholesterol and liver enzymes were triple of what they should have been.
I have also been able to cut out my daily pain (NSAID) meds for the arthritis.
I am so greatful to find this program that works for my problems.
