My updated keto - carnivore story.
7/21/18
I had already given up was preparing for my death. I paid off all my debts. Said goodbye to family and friends. I told doctors I could not live like this anymore made out a living will with DNR. Then I watched the movie the magic pill https://www.netflix.com/ forced everyone else to watch it also. Started looking for everything I could find on keto.
I am 63 I have been on keto since the begging of June my weight is 257 I started at 272 I have been as high as 330 in years past haven't been below 200 lbs since I was 10 years old. I am tired of fighting the doctors I had type 2 diabetes over 35 years now. I was on 21 insulin shots a week plus oral meds.
I use a biPap it's on 21 over 17 it used to be 30 over 25 they told me the next step was a tracheotomy to keep me breathing. I also take meds for hypothyroidism. I suffered Candida 10 years nothing worked it always came back. Before I figured it out without a doctors help I laid in my recliner dead drunk from the brewing of alcohol in my gut which kept my sugars running between 400 and 600+. I missed out on the last 5 years of my husbands life he passed 6/29/14. I am sick of it all.
Today my sugar is 78 what a miracle I haven’t had to use my bedside potty for a month now. I haven’t used my walker for 6 weeks I am not taking any insulin anymore if keto didn’t work for me I was dead this was not life I was preparing for my own death. I just spent 3 years on a 600 cal a day diet did not loose one oz.
My endocrinologist and my M.D. said to raise it to 1000 cal. I gained back up to 285 in the first week. I have gained 13 lbs, but lost 9 inches I couldn't even walk was atrophying. I have started walking around Walmart pushing a cart my daughters think the weight gain is because I am changing muscle for fat. Both of them are loosing on keto and I now have some of my life back and that’s more important to me.
I am trying hard and I have my daughter
