My husband also does keto - they both started the same time. He had high cholesterol, borderline high bp, was overweight and high A1C…
His doctor advised him against the diet, he did it anyway and the same doc checked his blood work every 6 months. He dropped 60 lbs and all his numbers all got to the optimal range in one year and have stayed good. Over the years that same doc told him to keep doing what he’s doing.
He feels great on it, more clarity and energy. It works well for him, he loves meat and fat. I could not eat as much meat and fat as he does to do keto with him, but I don’t eat sugar, bread or other starches. Even doing that has helped me stay pretty healthy
That’s great! Another instance where the doctor isn’t always right. But hopefully the doctor learned from your husband.
