Last week I was told I am pre diabetic and this week that I have a heart murmur - probably aortic regurgitation. Omg am I scared! Waiting for echocardiogram. I have been on LCHF diet since January and have lost nearly two stone. I have cheated at times - I am a binge eater at heart. Since being told I’m pre diabetic I had made the decision to totally commit to diet - bought a blood sugar monitor so Im aware of what’s going on. My gp gave me a sheet about having sweeteners instead of sugar, eating potatoes etc so I’m not very trusting of her advice. Then the shock news about heart disease. My total cholesterol is ‘high’ at 7.7 but I have watched prof sikaris’ videos so not worried about that. Don’t want to change diet. I’m rarely hungry while eating like this. Don’t want to eat things I now consider unhealthy. Don’t think I can trust drs. But I am so confused! A LCHF diet doesn’t sound good for someone who already has heart disease. But I cant find anything on internet about this subject. I wish I could ask Prof Sikaris what he thinks. Has anyone been through this?
