Carol Wells Shares Amazing Results - Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto

Hello Dr. Berg I have a bit of long story but I will try to give you the short version. I am a 5'7" Irish / English heritage woman. In 2014 my BMI had reached a 36.1 , my weight close to the morbidly obese stage. My doctor diagnosed me with Type 2 diabetes. I was some where between shocked and in denial as I have Diabetes in my family and I knew that I would hear these words one day. I wasn’t thinking that these words would come be before 60! At 16 years I was diagnosed at having hyperglycemic. When this day finally came, I knew that I needed to do something serious about my weight gain. How had I gained nearly 90 lbs!! I never considered myself an overeater. I had gained a lot of my weight while having my second child. I was not educated about the risks of over-gaining during pregnancy. I had gained 65lbs, in 1985, 20 months later in Dec 1986 I had my 3rd and final child and again over-gained. Six weeks before her birth, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes weighed 199 lbs. I thought that was over the top, little did I know what was to come. After having my children, I kept working out and losing here and there, but nothing significant. I maintained 20-30 lbs over weight and never knowing why. Without the knowledge that I have today I would have kept gaining the weight at little at a time. “Ten pounds in the spring. call it Winter fat.” “Ten pounds in the fall call it Summer fun... an excuse for everything! In 2012 at age 57 I went back to school. During study groups I ate chips. In class instructional lectures, it was cookies and don’t forget exam crunching hard core soft candy! By the time I had graduated I had reached an all-time weight of 239lbs! That’s 84 pounds overweight! In Aug 2014 I was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and advised to lose the weight NOW or go on metformin!! My worst nightmare! Again, I ignored the diagnosis and continued as per normal. I had developed a horrible case of eczema on my hands, to the point of bleeding, my breathing was heavy and labored, plus a whole host of other terrible symptoms, bed-sweats, unexplained high or low sugar reactions, even though I felt terrible, I again, did nothing. Then, I started getting pains in my legs. I thought it was a result of an overly hot laptop. I went back to my doctor, who would finally would not accept my lame excuses and sent me to a specialist. Feb 03, 2016 EVERYTHING CHANGED, I was sent to Dr. Poon Metabolical Clinic. http://www.poondiet.com I began learning about foods that caused my diabetes and what foods I could not eat. under any circumstances. “Who knew that I having a reaction to tomatoes!” If I wanted to get healthy, I needed to follow this diet which is mainly constructed of low carbs, low sodium, low sugar, with high protein. During the next 11 months I was able to lose 84 pounds. My diabetes was completely gone and so was the strange sweat meltdowns called hot flashes… ha ha! Many other symptoms also disappeared and I got healthy! In 2017 I had reach the Maintenance Phase and a small number of low carbs were added to my diet. I started having some challenges learning what my balance diet is. Today, at 64 years, I want to cry with happiness, I am currently a bit overweight, by 8 pounds and finding some challenges with balancing my intact of low carbs and allowed snacks which is all about balancing my diet. Everyday, I start my day out on Phase one of the diet and still need to work at staying in my lanes diet wise. I am willing to do this as I see the benefits. Ultimately, I am pretty healthy and glad that I have finally found the secret to how to maintain my weight issues.
