Lots of Good Results
« on: March 07, 2014, 10:34:57 PM »
After doing LCHF for 3 years, DH lost so much weigh that I am now working to try and get his weight back up some.  But to me, there are some even more important results.  Both of us have been able to control our blood sugar with diet alone, the neuropathy in my feet and lower legs disappeared shortly after we started eating this way.  DH's high blood pressure is now normal.

Several years ago DH had a blockage and had to have angioplasty.  I read up on the subject and learned that when that happens, most people end up back in the hospital for a bypass.  But since eating LCHF, his lipids and mine are all right where our doc wants them to be.

We started eating this way not to lose weight, but because of our diabetes.  But if they found a cure tomorrow, I would never go back to the old way of eating.  I believe this is the healthiest way for everyone to eat.

Oh yes, no doubt. It's hard for people to wrap their heads around the fact that eating fats will actually lower your lipids.

Hi, Shoelace! :)

When I started FTS, I was very obese at 316 lbs.
But my doctor's primary concerns were my overall blood profile and metabolic syndrome.
He told me they were major threats to my survival.

It was the desire to restore my health (and life) that took highest priority.
Losing the excess fat was second to that.

Like you said, low carb living provides the benefits of both!
And why I too, will NEVER go back to eating like I used to eat.
