Hello all,
I have followed a low carb woe since 1999. Of course, not steadily (ugh)
At that time, I belonged to Low-Carber forums, Atkins.
Lots of life happened, some great, some terrible, but mostly level. At my highest I have been 212 lbs. At my lowest, 164. Currently, I am in the 170's (high end) and this loss has happened in the past two years following a LCHF woe.
I began in earnest (again) Sept 2015 when my doc diagnosed me as pre-diabetic. She was writing out the Metformin script when I asked her to give me 4 months. She agreed. And four months later my AIC went from 6.2 to 5.6. My inflammation level is 0.4 (range 0.5 -1 is normal). And my blood sugar stays under 120 95% of the time, and under 100 50% of the time.
I love this way of eating. My downfall is I eat too many calories. I am also old (61) and while I am physically very active, back issues prevent regular exercise.
So, hello. I hope to find some old friends from the old bulletin board!
