I finally had to get a hit in the head to get it...

Options
I had a stroke at 58 years of age May of this year....I immediately got BACK to Paleo eating...had played with it for a year and initially lost but regained due to 'cheats'... since May 18th have lost 49 lbs. My diabetes is 'better'..altho' still on 3 meds..my BP is 'better' altho' still on 1 med and still having residual equilibrium issues from the stroke. Patience is not my virtue. But hanging in there....cheated a couple of days this week and immediately felt the negative effects with gas, liver discomfort and increased dizziness....glad its such immediate repurcussions as it gets me back on track fast. LOVE Paleo

    I'm sorry to hear about the stroke, and you've taken that difficult situation and turned it into motivating yourself to improve your overall health. That takes a lot of strength and determination, and it's fantastic to hear about your progress. ~Lynn /Glucerna
