I considered my diet healthy and exercise rate above average as I am a landscape gardener. As I got into my autumn years I had put on a bit of weight and my blood pressure was prehypertension.
My GP has practiced over 30 years and taught other GP's for 20 years. After much research he changed the way he treats diabetes and pre-diabetes - obesity / weight loss - fatty liver - high blood pressure - abnormal lipids.
I am sceptical about diets having watched friends yo-yo for years. I have never been on a diet in my life and always believed "all things in moderation" worked for me. After much encouragement from my GP I gave in and tried the low carbohydrate, healthy fat (LCHF) eating approach he prescribes.
I lost 15kgs and have kept it off for over a year. My blood pressure came back to normal levels, I also noticed other benefits like my chronic reflux disappeared. I am still sceptical about diets but can not deny what happened to me eating LCHF.
LCHF eating is not a fade diet and has good science behind the theory.
