Well it has been 3 months and I have done better then I ever expected with this WoE and I thank the info and motivation I see everyday on this sub. I started keto on August 6th with the intention to help with my type 2 diabetes and also lose some weight to get into a healthy lifestyle for my two beautiful little girls 2yr old/4 yr old. I had tried CiCo before about 6 yrs ago and lost about 50lbs but it was hard and never sustainable to me and gained all the weight back within a year of losing it all (about 40lbs) and that put me into my most current weight before keto of 313. I was diagnosed with type 2 shortly after I gained all the weight back I always had it in the back of my mind that I mostly likely had type 2 i have a strong family history and always had some of the basic symptoms but didn’t have insurance for awhile so never got tested until about 4 years ago when I got my new job and sure enough I had a 6.5 a1c. I said to myself that it wasn’t to bad they just put me on a metforim 500 I will be alright if I just take my pill and I did but also kept eating whatever I wanted soda,sweets,pizza,French fries all the stuff I haven’t had in 3 months now ! Eventually I went back in another year and now my a1c was 8.0 well that didn’t work as planned so doc up my med and I told the doctor I would watch my food intake . So that didn’t work well either I just kept on eating what I wanted and now I just avoided the doctor because I didn’t want to go on insulin or change my diet ( I know not the right thing to do ) but finally it caught back up to me when I wanted to get my CDl for work. so I had to go in for a physical and sure enough she ordered a blood test and I was at 10.4 a1c and she instantly said I need to start taking a extra diabetes med and I told her just give me 6 months and I will fix it and she agreed. So I found out about keto and then this sub and read the FAQ and started buy cutting carbs to 20g it was so hard at first but then I started seeing results and I started seeing results form all of u ppl that just inspired me to be like you guys . After a few weeks I was dropping weight but also I didn’t have the diabetic symptoms I had grown accustom to for years now the dry mouth,frequently having to go to the bathroom .also other things started feeling better my legs and feet didn’t hurt no more from inflammation and also my acid reflex went away and the best part is I wasn’t even that hungry anymore.this from the guy that had to eat every 4-6 hours or I would get a headache was only eating twice a day. So I started do IF and extended fasting 5days been my longest so far and I got even better results in the scale and finally the day came for the blood work and among all my other results coming back the best they have ever been I was down to a 6.8 a1c and my doctor was floored she was so happy with me so she cut my meds back down and congratulated me on my at the time 50lbs lost. So that my keto story so far for these 3 months I don’t plan on going back to a carb lifestyle I love the way I feel and the energy I have everyday. sorry for the bad spelling and punctuation was never my strong point but I can never thank this sub so much for just sharing your guys information ,mistakes and conquest so we as a community can all learn from then and adapt them into r keto WoE
