It has been a while since I have posted in this forum, but I thought I would come back to say "hi."

I have been keto since 2016 and used it to get blood glucose numbers and weight down. I got off diabetes meds, lost over 100 lbs (I have kept off), etc.

I had a doctor's appointment today, and he told me this diet was really working for me. Liver and kidney numbers were good and have improved. My A1C with no meds was a 5.9.

    AYYYYYYY! Good to see you!
    Glad to hear everything has been going so well for you!

    Food shortages and general stress related stupidity caused me to regain about 20lb over covid but I basically have most of that off now.

    Yeah, times have been weird. Pretty much activity level goes down with covid out there. There is stress with work. I totally get it. I started a new job March 1, 2020 just in time to navigate a transition to streamed/virtual and manage the details of lockdown. Anyway, we are emerging from it and tools are in place if wave #17 hits the community hard again.

    Anyway, I have totally established myself as a "picky eater" at church/work events, and no one is trying to push brownies on me these days. They know I will glare at everything on the reception table and get cheese cubes an some raw broccoli. No one gets feelings hurt any more when I don't try the potato casserole/whatever.
