Back in September and I think about that too with all the fat and meat they encourage you to eat. Once I got off all forms of sugar I have been trying to cut down on nuts, cheese, sweet potatoes, etc

I have lost 15 lbs but I only needed to lose 22. I have been maintaining for the last month knowing I have to cut more carbs to loose the rest.

I have an appt in April and going to ask for tests to see how it's affecting my liver, cholesterol and sugar levels.

I started it because my blood pressure was getting higher and not going down when they increased meds.

A few months of no sugar and flour products and my blood pressure is pretty low. They might have to decrease now.
