Doctor's Visit
I went to my doctor today, first time since starting LC in February. (Actually, first time in over a year, but that's a long story.) He did notice the weight loss, and when he asked what I was doing I just said "Atkins."
Paused for a moment (and I thought I was about to get flamed), then said "are you watching your nutrients?" "Yep." "Then keep it up, it's obviously working."
My blood pressure is down (REALLY down!), and I am apparently in terrific health (all things considered). He took me OFF one of my BP meds, and confirmed that I'm doing all right on half my acid reducer dosage!
I still want to be prescription-free by the end of this year, and when I mentioned that goal to him, he said essentially, "if it's possible, you'll see it."
