Keeping it simple

This is a post at Jimmy Moore’s where I commented on regarding low carb diet

Debs’ post:

Hi

I am 38 , female and from Australia…

After spending years with round about and yo yo diets I find myself with type 2 diabetes and a heart attack scare last year. I also find myself sick and tired of being sick and tired.

When I was diagnosed with diabetes I went to the Australia Diabetes association and explained that when I ate carbs my blood sugar sky rocketed…their answer was that I should keep eating the carbs and they would put me on insulin…I think that was the moment that I realised that I need to take responsibility for my own health.

And for the next few months I did. I ate low carb, the weight dropped off and my bsls were perfect, my trigs dropped too…but then I got complacent and then spent the rest of last year procrastinating and gained back all I had lost and all the good work I had done…more than that…in November I had a massive heart scare….it wasn’t a heart attack but it could have been…

I realised that diet wasn’t an option but life changes were in order.

This time I am learning so much about low carbing and how it works for my body. It’s been nearly 10 days and I’ve dropped weight and sleeping through the night. My bsls are going down and my energy is starting to improve.

At the moment I have no apetite and am listening to my body with regards to what I put into it. 

It’s early days but I am happier and healthier each day.

My response:

Hi Debs and a warm welcome from me as well.

Reading your post was quite heartwarming for me obviously not because of all the problems that you have but simply because you’ve decided to sort out your life using the tools and the systems that you know work for you.

I’m really pleased that you’ve had such good success even it’s only been 10 days since you started and my hope for you is yes, that you will listen to your body and that you will put in to it the things it needs because I know if you do that you’ll get the body you want, the body you deserve and the life to go with it.

All the very best,

Mark
