I’ve started eating low carb, high fat in the past 3 years, lost 15 pounds and have kept it off. If I exercise (walking) it’s even easier to keep it off. My goal was to bring my numbers for diabetes down to where I didn’t have to take the medication anymore. I don’t take the medicine anymore!
Diabetes is the reason I need to cut out processed foods etc. I take three Metformin a day and it’s like swallowing horse pills. My last A1C was 7.4.
My Dr suggests and my Husband insists that I basically follow this low carb/no processed foods diet. My goal is also to get off the medicine.
I got my A1C down without any diet, and without any pills.
My method? Eat normal diet in normal quantities between 10 am and 6 pm. And I eat a lot during that period along with snacking on peanuts and dates. After 6 pm I consume no calories. My exercise is walk total of 10 miles each week. I not only lost weight, but even better, only lost mostly fat around the waist.
