My name is Deacon Tom Mueller, I am an ordained Roman Catholic Permanent Deacon! I just wanted to take the time to say that the Ketogenic Community saved my life. I am only 5’6" and on April 2nd this Spring I had gotten up to 305lbs, my AIC was at 6.0 and my fasting Glucose was way too high, even though technically I was not a Type 2 Diabetic, I was certainly heading in that direction. My problem is with Sugar and Carb Addiction, I have struggled with addictions my whole life and I finally found a way through the Ketogenic Diet to break through my repetitive destructive behavior. I “pigged out” on Easter and the next day took the plunge. I am 80lbs lighter my Dr. is amazed, my triglycerides are down from 197 to 72, my A1C is down to 5.4, a 1.34 ratio!!! I am walking 3 miles a day and listening to all the old “2 Keto Dudes” podcasts. Richard and Carl - you guys Rock!!! And you are doing wonderful work - Keep it up!! Love you guys!! Thanks for the recipes. Even though the “God thing” is not up everybody’s alley, I pray for all of us all the time!!! God is pleased.

Good to hear from you; welcome to the forums!
I used to be a Benedictine monk for a while, so the “God thing” is right up my alley—don’t let my sense of humor confuse you.
Thanks for the prayers, and right back at ya!

I like Benedictine spirituality, plus I carry a Benedictine cross in my pocket, keeps the evil spirits away, for me that is Sugar and Carbs!!!
