SUCCESS STORY BY MARY

In 2008 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. I was put on Metformin and directed to the ADA website for how to eat. What a joke. On 3/3/14 I decided I could no longer live how I was living. I was obese, diabetic, had high blood pressure, sleep apnea and I frequently was sick and had allergy issues. I was a carb and sugar addict and every diet I ever tried, I failed because I was constantly hungry or jonesing for carbs/sugar fix. In 2012 I discovered Atkins, tried it twice ...and then discovered Low Carb High Fat and the Ketogenic WOE which is what I started doing last year. It has been 18 months and I have gone from 260 pounds and a very tight size 20W to 162 pounds and very comfortable size 6. I set out to lose 100 pounds and am at 98 right now with two to go. In the pic below I was at 95 lost. By May of 2014 I was off Metformin and a couple months after that I was off my blood pressure med Losartan. I am completely med free, I no longer exhibit any Type 2 symptoms and no longer have high blood pressure. I haven't been sick since I began this way of eating and I have no more allergy issues. I have more energy than ever, I am happier (no brain fog or fatigue) and I will never look back. My fbs is typically between 70-90 and my last A1C was 4.5 If I had listened to my doctor and followed the guidelines on the ADA website, I would still be obese and diabetic. One of the best benefits of this way of life is I no longer SUFFER from hunger. In fact, I have a very small appetite and eat on average twice a day. It is a lie that diabetics need to eat every couple of hours and that will in fact keep your blood sugar from ever being stable. Cut out the carbs and sugar - there are no nutrients in them that you can't get from veggie carbs, protein and fat and your body doesn't need them at all - your body can and will use fat for fuel. Once that poison is out of your body, the physical cravings for carbs/sugar will go away. You will no longer suffer from constant hunger or have to feel like you are starving or on a diet. FREEDOM is what you will have if you are willing to go against the grain to get your life back.
