Processed foods and soda are the killers. I’ve been on the Atkins diet for 15 years. Meat, cheese, eggs, butter = better health. I have the CBC tests to prove it. Breads, grains, rice, low fat anything not good.
I had the same results. Optimal blood test results after 6 months of dumping sugar and processed grains. I do have sugar in our home made preserves and jams on occasion. We also make them with sugar substitutes. Lost 25 pounds to boot!
