Like a couple of the others I had/have migraines with multiple triggers. I was having six migraines every 7 to 10 days before LC-ing [Atkins]. I've been LC-ing for just over a year and now the only migraines I get are weather related. I've reduced the incidents by 75%.

I also have adult acne [charming at 53] and LC-ing improved its condition as well ... although it hasn't been completely cured.

Interestingly, another bonus of LC-ing is that I sleep better. I used to have to get up 3 to 5 times per night ... sometimes I'd get to sleep only to wake up fully 1 or 2 hours later and I'd have to get up and read for an hour or more before I could get back to sleep. I think the disturbed sleep patterns were a result of blood sugar spikes ... after all, the general recommendation is that one have carbs to help induce sleep. Not for me ... protein does a much better job.
