(17,880 posts)The drop in A1C and triglycerides has been great for me. My insulin resistance is also down dramatically. My GP did whine a little bit about my slightly elevated LDL, but from everything I read and what my Keto doctor told me it shouldn't be a concern. Also another big one was the drop in my liver numbers - this is very important for avoiding fatty liver disease and fructose is one of the chief culprits of that.
I strip the cheese, sauce, and toppings off slices of pizza when a crustless option is not available. I actually find I have little or no desire to consume bread or other baked products. Same for most grains. I have found an adequate substitute for potatoes in soups and crock pots in turnips and radishes. I cook up a big medley of mushrooms and vegetables (peppers, onions, zucchini, celery, and olives) with my steaks and chicken. My go to dessert is full fat Greek yogurt with blackberries/raspberries and flax seed. I probably eat more cheese than I should though.
