DS107's Journal, 19 Oct 18

I had my annual checkup today. My Dr. is thrilled with the results. Everything was in the normal/good range, including my cholesterol, which has improved dramatically. I was worried about cholesterol because of the amount of animal fat I am eating. "Red meat and butter gives you high cholesterol and lead to clogged arteries and heart failure." BS I say! My cholesterol is perfect, or so my doctor says anyway! My A1C has improved as well. Eleven months ago I had an A1C of 8.6 and was diagnosed with Diabetes. Doctor put me on meds. Four months ago my A1C was still over 6. The Doctor said the meds must be working. I told him I never even started taking them. I told him I started Keto and changed my eating habits. He asked to hear more about Keto. Today my A1C is 5.0. Counting calories won't do that. I still have a bunch weight to lose, but Keto has improved all of my blood work. I didn't put it on over-night, but losing 86 pounds in less than a year is good. For me, Keto was and is the answer.

Saturated fats exacerbate high cholesterol and heart disease in people with risk factors for these problems, many of which are genetic. Without these risks, saturated fats by themselves don’t cause heart disease. Calorie counting does not reduce A1C, losing weight does ..... and that usually involves calorie counting.

Two high fives on your comments Gail531. These very significant points are often lost in the diet debates.
