Keto works!

(Empress of the Unexpected) #1

Started Keto six months ago to get my triglycerides down. Stayed the course and here is my recent blood test, compared to 2017. Down from 132 pounds to 112!! It’s a win-win! Not sick once in six months. A Ketovangelist is born.

2017 2018
Total cholesterol: 197 DOWN TO 184
LDL: 94 DOWN TO 93
Trigs: 209 DOWN TO 138
HDL: 61 UP TO 67

Trig to HDL ratio: 2.059 (2 or under is ideal) Last year: 3.42. Still a work in progress!!

TSH 0.36 UP TO 0.46

Fasting BG 97 DOWN TO 89

Screwy Bun/creatine ratio resolved

Already normal Vitamin D level went up.

B-12 excellent

Next year will ask for a CRP test and homocysteine. (My insurance can only handle so many “extras” at one time. )

Thank you - I am so thrilled. My husband is relieved - he was worried about the diet, he thought I would ruin my health and waste away, my friend is one banana and two crackers away from keto, and if people on the forum can read this - they will know keto works. Hoping for even better numbers in the next six months. I also do a good one hour walk every day - can’t hurt.

@Regina it is so exciting! I would love to see more and more people believe this WOE. I am two months in and am a faithful believer! So many people could live healthy lives if they could open their minds and give themselves a chance. :heart::muscle:

And they should not give up after a few months. They need to try it. I was discouraged at three months, but now I am at six months and it is all coming together.

@Regina you are 100% correct! When I see here people saying “I could never go without bread or sugar.” I think to myself that is like somebody saying “I could never go without a beer everyday.”

Which is why we must show the world! :slight_smile:

@Regina We can convert one friend or family member at a time. This is working for us and will for those that stick to it. Once converted they need to convert a couple. And so on and so on.

Thanks for posting the numbers. You go girl!

You are so right. And now I feel I am in a position to convert. Keto has given me bragging rights!
