Despite all the armchair experts who say I’m going to get diabetes, I’m leaner than ever. More muscle, better energy, Perfect liver enzymes and fasting insulin/blood glucose.
Out of all the misinformed health dogma hurdles, switching from low-carb to high-carb was THE most difficult. So many “experts” absolutely CERTAIN that carbs are the reason behind all the world’s issues.
I spent like 3 years carb-phobic. Popping in & out of ketosis. Avoiding excess fruits. Taking buns off my burgers. I was strict af and had nothing to show for it.
Lost a bunch of muscle mass
Gained fat
Hair got worse
Looked like a shell of a man

• depressed
• fatigued
