  • Hi, I'm doing Keto diet because my dr recommended a very low carb, GF/grain-free/sugar+starch-free diet due to IBS/Leaky Gut symptoms, as well as insulin resistance (fasting BS normal still, but post-prandials were elevated). I originally described my "IBS" as the C kind, but over time I figured out the "C" was due to…

  • Hi, I'm from Houston, and have been putting salsa on my eggs to appease my TexMex cravings :bigsmile: Although I need (and want) to lose weight, my reasons for watching what I eat are health related. I'm trying to avoid a diagnosis of diabetes, so I've cut all quick carbs from my diet in the hopes of the next a1c (3-4…

  • Hi, I'm a middle aged female that might be a borderline diabetic, and would like to lose at least 50lbs -- that depends on what I look like at that weight, since I'm a bit over 5'9". My fasting blood sugar was ok at 93, but my H1ac was 6.3 when the OB/Gyn did bloodwork. I'd been drinking quite a bit of sugared koolaid, and…
