A Dietitian’s Journey

A Dietitian’s Journey

“A Dietitian’s Journey” (Part I) is my personal weight-loss and health-recovery journey that I documented on my low carb web site and which began on March 5, 2017 when I was obese, had type 2 diabetes for the previous 8 years, and extremely high blood pressure.

Two years later, on March 5, 2019, I accomplished all but one of my goals, and the last one I achieve 3 months later.

I lost:

    • 55 pounds
    • 12- 1/2 inches off my waist
    • 3 -1/2 inches off my chest
    • 6 -1/2 inches off my neck
    • 4 inches off each arm
    • 2- 1/2 inches off each thigh
    • I met the criteria for partial remission of type 2 diabetes 3 months earlier
    • my blood pressure still ranged between normal and pre-hypertension

After recovering from Covid the first time, I began hiking and posted this encouraging “mountain top experience” post as my 5-year update. That was the pinnacle of recovering my heath.  Unfortunately, my heath took a turn I could not have expected.

I maintained my weight-loss until becoming severely ill with profound hypothyroidism in June 2022 and that’s where A Dietitian’s Journey – Part II begins.
