This is very interesting reading for me.
I love to tell this story...
A while back my doctor put me on meds for high blood pressure. Soon afterwards I started low carb eating and lost 25 lbs and blood pressure went back to normal and I quit the meds. At my next checkup (about 6 months later) she was surprised at the weight loss and that my blood pressure was normal, even without the meds. She asked what I was doing and I said low carb. She encouraged me to continue what I was doing because it was obviously working for me.
Some doctors "get" it!
