“Always followed a low carb diet. No simple sugars or refined flour products. “

Complex sugars are still carbs. Fruits are still carbs. Whole flour products are still carbs (+ they contains nasty things like lectins, tanins, gluten). They (except fructose which is even worse for your metabolism) all end up as glucose just like simple sugars and trigger almost the same bad reactions in your body : insuline resistance, fat storage, Randle cycle activation, ketones decrease...

How can that then be called a “low carb diet”?? Do you mean the real definition of low carb according to keto-carnivore ie < 40g total carbs (fibers included) per day or something else?

I guess I should a been more specific and broke it down more. The only complex sugers I may consume are some berries, like Adkins said we can have in moderation. I don’t eat any breads, no potatoes, no sweet veggies etc. Yes, I have been on Adkins for years, and then till now, Keto.

I tell ya, many of my friends and family were shocked when I had first heart attack. They thought I was the example of extreme health and vitality. Look approx 10 yrs younger, was running 6 miles, 5- days/week in morning, 1 to 2 hours calisthenics in the evening. On top of, staying active at work and raising poultry along side, a huge garden. No drinking or tobacco/nicotine, moderate eating (no excesses or indulgences).

That’ll break it down more. I can’t run anymore, but still stay active plus walk 4 miles 6 xs week. I just enjoy today for today, and leave tomorrow for the Lord’s will.

Thx a MILLION for your, and other’s, concern. ☺️
