[QUOTE="Blkkbgt, post: 17032586, member: 117234"] Good chance I'll get flamed for this but honestly IDGAF. Take the special diet your doctor prescribed to you and toss it because it's trash. If it came from the American Diabetes Association burn it. I've been down this road being told I was pre-diabetic in my early 30s. I followed the diet almost to a T. I say almost because I would cheat when we went out to eat, usually once a weekend but still wasn't out of control. 3-4 months later almost NOTHING got better except my Triglycerides. I set up an appointment with a certified dietician and went over what I was eating and how I was adhering to the diet. What did I get from her? A bunch of shitty paperwork and meal plans from the ADA again. I was also told "well you're doing everything right this is just how it goes for some people". I'll be honest, I was lost and by lost I mean I basically kept doing what I was doing for about 5 more years. Not getting worse but not making any significant improvements either. In that time I started a new job and 2 year into it I noticed climbing a flight of stairs was kind of difficult. I started looking hard for a solution and I mean a real solution. I decided to start working out again as well. I found fasting and keto. In just under a year I dropped 25lbs and things started to look up. My blood work wasn't perfect but an F ton better. Over the next year I lost another 10. For the next 2-3 years I stayed around 190-195 depending on the time of the year but was cheating a lot on the weekends. Ice cream, whiskey, processed carbs, tacos you name it. During camping I was really bad. I got back on track right before the holidays then off again. I took a blood test right before Thanksgiving. Total cholesterol a tick over 200 and Triglycerides of just 66. No AIC or glucose though. I got up to 200lbs when I stepped onto the scale Jan 8th. **** this I told myself. Started carnivore and literally just hit 90 days TODAY. I am down 15 lbs to 185. I haven't weighed this much since I was in my late 20s. I have noticed other benefits to carnivore besides weight loss. I am going to do another 90 days and have a full blood panel done to see where I am. I'll make sure to have my A1C checked this time. I am not going to advocate for carnivore because I don't think it's for everybody. I will however advocate for fasting and keto. It made pretty big improvement on my life and physical condition. Fasting is hard initially, it takes determination and discipline. And I mean real ****ing determination and discipline because your first few 24 hour fasts are rough. The keto meals are important to cut out the crap in your diet and take a little getting used to. If you decide to try it do it on a weekend when you have nothing going on, no obligations, nowhere to be, nothing. The answer isn't at the doctor's office. [/QUOTE]
