OT Low carb diet update.
- Thread starter The Spin Meister
- Start date
This is exactly the approach that has been working for me recently. I’m not tracking calories or setting specific weight loss targets... I’m just avoiding carbs as much as I reasonably can, and trying to walk more than 10,000 steps/day at least 4-5 days per week.
I have shed about 40 pounds since early September, and the following things (which had all been issues to one degree or another) have all shown improvement:
- Blood sugar
- Blood pressure
- Cholesterol
- Liver enzymes
- Chronic back pain greatly reduced
- Energy level
- Overall mood
- Ability to focus and feel productive
Things are certainly not perfect — I have a lot of work yet to do. But I turned 50 today, and I really wanted to set a more positive tone health-wise as I entered my new decade. I feel I’ve achieved that!
Good work, my friend. Wish I would have realized I needed to get my act together sooner. I started spring of 2019 when I was 57.This is exactly the approach that has been working for me recently.

We all have to start at some point, I think the important thing is that we do start. Thanks for your encouragement!
Even though the original post is from three years ago, it's great that the topic of low-carb diets and their effects on brain health is still relevant and engaging. The insights you've shared about the benefits of a low carb ketone diet for brain function are really interesting. It's remarkable how research continues to uncover connections between our dietary choices and our overall well-being. I'd also recommend to check out https://reverse.health/. It's a useful resource for anyone interested in exploring this further. It's encouraging to know that researchers are actively investigating ways to address brain aging and enhance cognitive abilities.

It's nice to see the bots have at least made it up to a Rutgers level education. When they first joined they made Pitt fans look decent.
