I don't post much, but have to agree with this poster. Under 40g of carb for me has my fasting blood glucose in the a.m. and throughout the day in the non-diabetic range. I have been able to lose 20 lbs (in 10 weeks) and reduce my insulin from 120 u per day to 34 (I am insulin resistant). I have also been able to discontinue my lisinopril (20mg per day) as my blood pressure has dropped to about 112/59. Low carb is the only way I have been able to manage this. Over 50 grams of carb knocks me out of ketosis. Going to the doctor tomorrow for blood testing, anxious to see how my cholesterol is doing after 10 weeks on this woe. |
