Another Peat success story! I gave up eating sugar in 2003 because I was having a lot of blood sugar crashes and assumed it was due to the sugar I was eating, not all the muffins, pasta, breads, etc. I figured the weight would fall of me, since I needed to lose 100 pounds, but I only lost 2 pounds in 6 months! When I had my lab work done in December of that year, my liver enzymes were elevated and I was diagnosed with fatty liver disease and pre-diabetic.
From then until I started following Ray Peat's guidelines, I continued to avoid sugar, most of the time. And during the next 7 years, my liver enzymes continued to be elevated when I had my yearly lab work done, and I progressed from pre-diabetic to diabetic in November of 2009.
Now, 6 months after following the Ray Peat guidelines, (and resuming eating sugar on a daily basis), I recently had a complete metabolic profile done due to an intestinal infection. The results came back completely NORMAL. No more fatty liver! No more elevated liver enzymes for the first time since 2003! Glucose in normal range.
Thank you, Ray Peat!
