I love when your body makes positive changes that are not just visual.

Did you do anything special with regards to carbs while you lost the weight?

YES!!! If you were on any statins for the Lipids, I hope the doctor will take you off of them now. Very impressed with your work on the A1C -- that has got to feel good to be out of the diabetic danger zone. Whole foods for the win!

Jen.Bruner, I do not limit my carb intake. I eliminated all highly processed foods. I now eat a mostly Plant Based diet; eating for nutrition and taste. Beans, Whole Grains, Nuts and Seeds, Fresh and frozen Fruits and Veggies make up the backbone of my diet. I do eat fish and chicken and eggs in small amounts. When I plan my meals, I start with all Plant based foods, then supplement Protein with animal based when needed, aiming for 35g per meal. I aim to keep my sodium intake below 1800 mg per day; Saturated Fat below 12g per day. I typically eat between 1600-1800 calories.
