[quote]eating only lean meat, vegetables, and limited fruit.[/quote]That’s not much different from what we’re doing. I’m not too concerned about the fat though, but I have limited starches/carbs big time. I’m drinking a lot of water also. I know some of it is water weight, but I lost another pound y...

No junk food in the house such as chips that I would munch on. That’s going to help a ton overall. I may not need a strict keto diet but we’ll see. [...

How long have you been on the carnivore diet? What changes have you seen with your weight, body makeup, and A1C levels? I know you don’t count calories on the carnivore diet, but what does your daily meal plan look like… maybe for a few days or a week? I’ve been watching some of the videos, and ...

Just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes

Posted by AFtigerFan on 4/22/24 at 4:58 pm

I've been prediabetic for around 14 or 15 years, and my A1C levels finally eclipsed the threshold and came back at 6.6. My doctor left it up to me as to whether or not I'd b...
