In one word...WOW. Great thread disc...Hi Everyone!<br /><br />In one word...WOW. Great thread discussion! I'm very excited for fretion! Don't worry, your glucose will eventually normalize; try to stay at about 30 grams of carbs a day, say, 10 grams per meal. As the weight continue to decline, your insulin resistance will lessen, and all will be fine; WITHOUT meds! but something tells me you already knew that :-)<br /><br />I am very proud of your docotr, she's right on. Has she read Taube's work? How did she come to the realization of the dietary truth; I'd love to talk to her!<br /><br />I am very humbled that such a phenomenol discussion is going on here, and on my Blog to boot! Thank you all so much!<br /><br />Dr JimDrJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06816843097842253829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958912724707946215.post-9876996756342950462009-11-13T06:09:31.699-08:002009-11-13T06:09:31.699-08:00Update!

Fasting Glucose still 106, but I haven't finished losing all the layers of fat, and my Dr. says that the belly fat layers are the most resistant, secreting a hormone that keeps insulin resistance high. She says that the most important thing for me to do is to <strong>keep doing</strong> what I'm doing limiting the carb intake, and we'll check things again in 6 months. She was very pleased to see that my HDL had gone from 28 to 44.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978122282649175092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958912724707946215.post-48976891528232438482009-11-12T09:13:19.145-08:002009-11-12T09:13:19.145-08:00First of all, congrats to Fretion - you're roc...First of all, congrats to Fretion - you're rockin' it out and we're all glad you're on board. I used to take Lisinopril and my previous doc (before Dr. Jim)told me I'd be on it for life. Yeah right. 3 months of lowcarbing and I was off the meds and still am. My wife, also one of Dr. Jim's lowcarbers, was on a statin. She can tell you about side affects but I saw it first hand. Now we can use the word horrendous. She's off all meds as well.<br /><br />Secondly, Horvath, Schmorvath....<br /><br />Thirdly, I've read Taub's book "Good calories bad calories," all 500 pages of it and it is chock full of all the clinical study you'll ever need to support the low-carb lifestyle.<br />Read it and it'll make a believer out of you !!<br />RonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671904666209047484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958912724707946215.post-40965595445513867712009-11-12T07:08:29.607-08:002009-11-12T07:08:29.607-08:00I quickly scanned the article yesterday.

If they didn't, their conclusions are baseless, regardless of the "reaches" they made. If it weren't so disgusting, it would be laughable.brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09087010559814701433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958912724707946215.post-17485163755929093282009-11-12T05:07:51.793-08:002009-11-12T05:07:51.793-08:00It's a shame that this type of misinformation ...It's a shame that this type of misinformation is still being propogated. With the prevalence of people being overweight and developing preventable diseases like diabetes, it should be obvious that we're doing something very wrong and it's a shame that so many people aren't recognizing the simplicity of what it is.Vin - NaturalBiashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809562425641087605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958912724707946215.post-46845969435413802192009-11-11T12:32:42.248-08:002009-11-11T12:32:42.248-08:00I'm a 46 year old 5'7.5" male.
For...I'm a 46 year old 5'7.5" male. <br /><br />For 20 years I tried to control my hypertension by following the diet that we're told to by the government. It failed miserably. At 40 I finally gave in and started taking Lisinopril for it. It worked to lower my BP, AND drastically improved my mood. However, I was now, at the age of 40, 265lbs instead of the 179 lbs I was at 20. <br /><br />My Doctor also soon after put me on a Statin drug for my, in his words, horrid cholesterol. For 3 months I literally couldn't finish a project. I was on the verge of losing my job my ability to think straight was so impaired. I'm damned lucky my grandmother saw a very brief (and now impossible to find) story on some news show (maybe 60 minutes?) about Statin's having this very side effect. I stopped taking them. <br /><br />My thinking cleared up. And, I started doing research for myself on diet, nutrition, etc.<br /><br />I really wish that YOU had been my doctor, would have made it a lot easier for me. <br /><br />I changed my diet. This time, I went the low carb, high fat route. Today, at 46 my new Doctor has recommended that I stop taking the Lisinopril, as my BP at my last appointment was 100/60. My weight is down to 217 lbs. <br /><br />She was also amazed that my previous doctor was at all concerned about my cholesterol which in her opinion looking at the old labs was fine. And, horrified that he WASN'T concerned about my fasting blood sugar of 106 at the time he was presribing the statins for cholesterol.<br /><br />I charted my BP for two weeks after stopping the Lisinopril, and it did go up a bit, to 116/70. I can't wait to see what the new labs will show when I see her tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978122282649175092noreply@blogger.com
