In April this year I was diagnosed a type 2 diabetic and I weighed almost 400lb. I went on Atkins and have followed the induction phase for 3 months straight. I’ve dropped over 100lb and my diabetic symptoms have completely gone. In addition my Dr told me my cholesterol levels have significantly dropped as well.
I owe it all to a low-carb diet.

l saw the early photo’s of you and basically saw myself right there. I was so overweight, it felt like it would never come off, and losing a lb or 2 would make no difference, so there was no point in trying. However, watching somebody drop over 200lb, and to see the drastic results you got, plus, after listening to your video about Atkins and diabetes, I decided id give it a shot, I was so low that I had absolutely nothing to lose. I just wanted to say thank you so much for changing my life. ;oD

The help, advice, guidance and support you give is invaluable, and your success is a constant source of inspiration. And my advice to anybody who has weight management issues, or indeed has diabetes, take an hour of your time, go through these videos, take the advice and try it out. It wont work overnight, but, if you stick with it, you will achieve results. you will see consistent weight loss, and your blood sugars will level off, often resulting in a suppression of diabetic symptoms. Good luck

I have a family history of Type II Diabetes (insulin-resistance, glucose-intolerance, etc) and became a “low-carber for life” in 2000. I’m convinced that my daughter’s eating disorder and my son’s ADHD as well as my own serious health problems, including GI distress, mood swings, brain fog in the PM, , were the result of 20 years of a low-fat diet.. I think insulin-resistance continues to progress, so I just keep cutting carbs and increasing fat. At 56, I am thin and in excellent health -

Now that you know it can be done, I can imagine that is a powerful motivator to return. I was amazed by the reported rapidity than a LC approach can stop some forms of diabetes need for insulin. Just remember why you backslid the first time, and make the plans on how to avoid them this time,
Thanks for comments and hope to many…

In April of this I was diagnosed with type ll diabetes. I weighed alomost 400lb. I was 28yrs old.
By following Kent’s Advice and sticking to a low carb diet, i’ve dropped 115lb of weight, PLUS by purposely keeping my blood sugars low, it gave my body the chance to increase it’s insulin sensitivity. A few weeks back I asked my Dr for another G.T.T (Glucose test for diabetes). It came back clear. I’m now officially non-diabetic!
D Thank you so much Kent!

@brandybeckydoc Let’s see my kidney function is good, my bladder never has a problem, my stomach (huh?), my hair has seen regrowth, and my health is fantastic. My marathon performance is getting better every year, and my heart function and cardiac risk factors have DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED. (I can use CAPITALS TOO.)
My own doctor could not be happier, and every annual physical uses me as an example for his other patients. It should be promoted from the mtn tops to achieve a healthy life.

I’ve been doing Atkins since 1976. And, I found if anyone suffers from anything hormonally, Atkins will balance all that out by removing all the bad carbs, and extra sugars out of your body..I like to call it my “Sugar Fast” LOL. I tell people I eat only real food and Atkins is fun! It’s not just bacon and eggs, cheese, fat, fat, fat..it’s also berries and veggies and flavor in your food.
And, HEALTHY. Atkin’s is one of my heros, and I miss him.
Thanks bowulf for your passion, you encourage us.
