Re: collecting research info: why choose lowcarb?
1. Why did you choose eating lowcarb?
I am a type 2 diabetic. I wanted to lower and stabilize my blood sugar without mediation.
2. How long have you been lowcarb?
5 months
3. What have been your results?
My blood sugars are now in the normal (non-diabetic) range. My fasting blood sugar has dropped 200 points. My slightly high blood pressure (ca. 120/95) has dropped to ca. 110/70. My cholesterol and triglycerides have dropped. And, last but not least, I have lost 18 pounds and dropped two pants sizes.
4. How difficult is making lowcarb a lifestyle change?
It was very easy. Surprisingly easy.
5. Would you consider a lowfat/highcarb lifestyle?
No. I've eaten low fat before (for years!) and it was not satisfying.
