So, Saturday 22nd September 2018 was my 1st Ketoversary, so I thought I’d share some changes I’ve had since I started Keto a year ago…
Blood Pressure: from 160/89 (on meds) to 136/83 (off meds)
Resting heart rate: from 80 bpm to 76 bpm
HbA1C: from 35mmol/mol to 38 mmol/mol (an upturn, but still in a good range)
Triglycerides: from 3.2 mmol/L to 0.8 mmol/L
HDL: from 1.31 mmol/L to 1.46 mmol/L
Non HDL: 5.9 mmol/L (this changed in 2018 from LDL and I am unable to see LDL for 2017 in EMIS).
Peak flow rate: from 500 L/min to 590 L/min (Asthma gone).
BMI: from 30.1 kg/m2 to 25.6 kg/m2
Waist size: from 34 inches to 30 inches
oh and 12.5 Kg lost 
Non-measurable observations.
Mood is improved, generally feel more levelled.
Sleep improved.
Plantar Fasciitis gone.
Occular migraines gone.
No days off work sick (first time I can remember never having at least 1 day off!)
More inclined to exercise (almost certainly linked to weight loss).
I’m so much happier about my body now and feel more positive about the future. I owe a deep debt of gratitude to @Richard and @Carl for making the 2 Keto Dudes podcast and for making a massive difference to my life as a result. I can’t see myself ever going back to those carb-abuse days now I know the damage it was doing to my body.
So what do you do on your Ketoversary? Go surfing obviously!..
