Getting Fatter Dieting

 

I have tried so many ways of eating, from Weight Watchers to Nutrisystem to Jenny Craig to Low Fat. I just got fatter and fatter. I was put on more and more blood pressure medication.

 

I had more and more arthritis, swelling, and pains. One knee joint was so bad I had a knee replacement. That set off another series of inflammatory issues and more health issues. Sad indeed.

 

Then, The Carnivore Diet, WOW!

 

I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to resolve my AI Hepatitis after my knee replacement. I also tried the ketogenic way of eating, but it wasn’t until I only ate meat did my issues start to change. And wow, did they change dramatically! I am no longer on any antihypertensive medications.

 

I take 1/2 of my thyroid medication every other day. No more joint pain in the knees, fingers, hips, or great toe, so I am no longer taking any anti-inflammatory medications. My anxiety dramatically improved. I can walk long distances again. My left lower leg no longer goes numb. I can actually stand without worrying about falling or stumbling when I walk.

 

Bloodwork

 

My post-Carnivore 90 Day blood work showed some improvements in a few of the lipids.

 

A1C level:

7/17/2017 – 5.9

11/17/2017 – 5.1

I am no longer pre-diabetic. I am tracking the dyslipidemia and coronary calcification. I will have additional testing for both next August.

I will continue to eat meat, drink water, coffee, and an occasional wine.
