What has 4 months of LCHF eating done for me?

Here's what:

On 5th July I weighed 20st 3.6lb. Yesterday I weighed 17st 5.6lb. I have lost 2st 12lb.

On 3rd September my fasting blood glucose was 7.7. Yesterday it was 5.3.

I have come down 2 sizes in trousers (26->22) and am on the verge of coming down into 20's.

I've stopped having acid reflux again.

My blood pressure has come down.

I feel great!!


To be fair, fasting has also been part of that picture, since the middle of August. But I haven't fasted the last two weeks, because of being on holiday. So, tomorrow, I'm going to fast all day. I'm looking forward to it, not least because I'm hoping it will help me break through a barrier in my blood glucose readings.

Generally speaking, my lowest reading of the week is the day after my fast. The lowest I've seen at all is 5.0, the day after fasting 3 weeks ago. But last week I had a 5.0 *without* fasting the previous day. I was quite excited by that!  I'm hoping one day soon to see a number under 5.  And the other change is to get my average and maximum numbers going down again. At first they were going down significantly each week, but the past few weeks the change has slowed to a crawl. I so want to have a complete week in which I don't have any diabetic readings at all.... or one in which more of my readings are in the normal range than impaired fasting glucose or higher.  I'm getting close.
