Hey y'all! I am not new to 3FC. Just new to low carb. I actually haven't even started. I don't even know where to start. I have read so much that I can't take any more in. Here is where it starts... I was doing really well on WW. Losing about 15 pounds total...Then during a regular drs visit, I was complaining about being exhausted all the time. He decided to do a full blood work up. I was really shocked to hear the results. First, my Vitamin D levels are extremely low. The Dr thinks this is what is causing my exhaustion so he put me on a high dosage to take to get my levels back to normal. Second, my insulin levels are very high, putting in the pre-diabetic range. This is a very scary thing for me. I always thought that despite my weight I was fairly healthy. He has suggested a low carb diet to try and regulate my insulin levels. I was going to try ww/low carb but a lot of my ww foods that eat regularly are on the low carb do not eat list =/
SO I am going to be starting low carb ASAP. My problem is that I don't knwo where to start. I've gotten some info from atkins, I just don't know what system/plan is best. Anyone have a similar situation? Atkins? Paleo? Primal? Just counting carbs??
Please help!!!
