As of today, I'm exactly 2 months on keto, with 12 lbs down and 20 lbs to go. My clothes are loosening up and I'm back in my jeans. This way of eating is not easy. You have to be diligent and consistent. But it WORKS! omg, I'm very excited! for myself and for everyone here who is committed to making positive changes in our lives. GO US !!!

UPDATE TO MY POST.

I am also active on r/Keto on Reddit and this is a copy/paste of a post I made yesterday.

I was diagnosed as diabetic last December. I was prescribed two medications for it. That brought the total prescription medicines that I was taking every day up to seven. I was a walking drugstore. I started LCHF in February. By April, I was taken off one of the diabetes meds and one of my blood pressure meds was cut in half.

Things have kept getting better. I started walking in June and in the last two weeks I started to get light headed when getting up from my desk at work. Emailed my doctor yesterday morning about this. Yesterday afternoon he replied with telling me to stop taking two of my blood pressure meds.

All told I have now stopped taking five of the original seven meds!!! I am focusing only on the meds in this post, but SOOOO many other things have been positive outcomes of this way of eating.

Thank you to this group. KCKO!!!

Edit: Someone asked how he knew it was ok to drop the two meds. I am a data geek at work, so I love to graph results of different things. I have been tracking my blood sugar levels since April and my blood pressure readings since about mid-May. So I turned that data in to a graph and sent it to the doctor along with my request he review my medications because of feeling light headed at times.

Here is what I sent him.

I'm just three weeks in, but have lost 7 lbs (likely 'water weight'?) and 1" on each of my measurements. Plus I'm learning so much, about nutrition and about myself. ? Really grateful and excited to have discovered keto!

wow--your results speak for themselves!

Congratulations.
