Default 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.
