I’ve always considered myself a person who leans towards science, data, and controlled experiments. While I understand the basics behind keto, it doesn’t always work like I think it should.
For my first 8 months on keto, I lost 83 pounds. In the following month maybe 1 lb.
In the first three months my A1c dropped 2 full points, in the following 5 months it only dropped .2. Starting last month, and this month my average blood glucose reading has dropped about 15 points. Haven’t had an A1c yet but if I stay at the level I am now for 3 months I should test about 5.4, a one point drop.
So when my weight loss stagnated, my blood sugar started plummeting. I have difficulty wrapping my brain around how this all works. Why it does what it does. So even though I don’t understand how, keto works for me, it does.
I appreciate all the info I’ve received in this forum. I appreciate reading about other’s struggles and successes. It has given me encouragement to stick with the program. So thank you all.
