Somewhere I lost a lot of weight - I was totally unaware of this, not trying to lose weight, just ensuring my blood glucose level was in the normal range. It was only when my clothes no longer stayed on that I realized.
There is so much emphasis on weight - I was put on diets when I still had a 24 inch waist, because I was too heavy for my height - I rowed boats, sailed yachts, went climbing, caving, indulged in a spot of archery and could swing across the climbing frame horizontal ladder in the local park - I did that morning and evening on work days and when I went into town at weekends. I had been a roadie for a folk duo and could dead lift a drunken guitarist off the floor. I was low calorie low fat high carb dieted into ill health, after decades of diet sheets - a few months on low carb and I went back to work servicing knitting machines, and I feel even better now. It's all about normal blood glucose - why it should be a secret I do not know.
