I lost 50 lbs on my Keto diet and was able to get off all my blood sugar meds ( 4 metforman and 4 glipizides a day).

Low carb, under 30 grams per day, seems to be the key for me. It is a tough diet to follow though.

Thanks for your comments. I agree that the food pyramid is genuinely flawed. I too am using this site to chart my food and my macros. IT is the only way to really know haw many carbs and sugars I am taking in per day. A couple years ago I got up to 240 (my highest weight) and this is when the DR said I was pre-diabetic. I…
