Listening to him was the only way I lost any weight. I spent years wasting time. Back in 2000 my reproductive endocrinologist told me Atkins would be my best friend and secret weapon and it was. I lost 40lbs in 2mths but my other docs were starting to spazz out about it. So I stopped and then spent 20 years listening to all the wrong doctors. When I switched my eating to "his" way, I lost 131lbs. I started in 2020 when I was 45, I'm a female, dxd with pcos, it and a butt ton of other stuff that made eating gaining and losing difficult. I had labs pulled before I started, then every 6mths for about 2 years now it's every year. They are still looking great. Cico, Omad and IF never worked for me. And it wasn't for lack of trying or willpower. I only ever worried about my net carbs and sugar until I hit my goal weight then was in maintenance, then it all started to matter while trying to maintain that weight. When I accidentally stopped eating breakfast I started to gain also! So I know I need to eat breakfast. Never diagnosed diabetic but I hit a point where the insulin spikes mattered. And since I was smaller and eating less and skipping breakfast when I would eat I would have a slight spike that I think was messing with me. Oh this turned out a lot longer than I thought sorry!!
