KETO: The Cure Of Many Diseases
By: Adeel Farooqui
It was August 6th, 2021 morning when I woke up due to a headache, though I could not sleep well throughout the whole night. I checked my BP which is comparatively high at 100/145. This wasn't the first alarm of my degraded health as I was fatty weighing 114 KGs (over 250 pounds), having high Cholesterol history, NAFL, and within the sugar impaired phase. Mostly heartburn.
The waist size was over 43 inches though I am just 176 cm tall and aged around 48. So kept monitoring my BP which is swinging and not satisfactory so I decided to go through further medical tests. Lipid profile, Hb A1C, LFT, Fasting sugar, Fasting Insulin, and Vit D tests were examined and all were alarming and high in range. e.g. A1C was 6.6 and declared sugar patient, Triglyceride (TG) was 195 with HDL 46. SGOT (AST) was 75 SGPT (ALT) was 146, Fasting Insulin was over 29 and so one.
The doctor prescribed me metformin, statin, etc. I came home with heavy hearts but decided to avoid medicines at this stage and reverse all these diseases by changing my lifestyle.
I am an old fan of Dr. Eric Berg and admire his services for human beings through his lectures. So I started searching right food and exercises to change my current situation and apart from listening to various lectures of Dr. Berg, watched the lecture of Dr. Pradeep Jumnadas, Dr. Feng, Dr. Waseem & Dr. Khalid Jamil from Pakistan.
These videos literally changed my life and way of living. I still remember on the 21st of August 2021, I took my first keto meal and started gyming on 27 August 2021. Since then, I never looked back and the Keto diet became my normal meal now. Yes, I forgot to mention that Intermittent Fasting is an amazing habit and accelerates the benefits of the Keto diet impact. I do 16-8 IF from the start of my life-changing journey.
It does miracles, within 3 months my sugar HbA1C reversed and reached 5.6 from 6.6. TG is now 66 (earlier 195) with HDL 60. SGOT 16 from 75 and SGPT 22 from 146, Serum Gamma 50 from 107. Fasting Insulin down to 13 from 29 and C-peptide becomes 2.5.
Now, my weight is 87 KGs (191 pounds). Really thankful to Dr Eric Berg who really helped me to change my life. The way he explains things is awesome and unique as he wants to learn the science behind every recommendation, the food and the activity he suggested.
