Just had my annual physical after 10 months of keto. I’ve lost 60lbs and my a1c has fallen from 7.1 to 5.4. Feeling like a winner!

I am certain I was on the way to being diagnosed as a pre diabetic when bi started keto. I have 3 years under my belt and I have list 70 lbs. This is the first diet that I have been able to maintain my weight loss, and I don't feel hungry or deprived. The initial adjustment was hard, but now I can have 'higher carb' days and then go right back on track. My mom hates my diet and still believes in low fat diets.

Congrats! Did your doc want to put you on Statins? The nurse called me up and said doc like to discuss with a treatment plan on your high cholesterol. I hung up on her. (That was almost 2 years ago. I am still alive and kicking.)

Well that gives me hope. Been on many diets but just now starting Keto the past few weeks.

Thanks so much. Actually I don’t feel hungry at all! I have been dairy free for years then went gluten free for 6 months. So now going full Keto doesn’t seem too hard. It’s amazing how addicted we get to carbs. Good luck in your journey of health as well!
