Reply #96: Having suffered a case of "metabolic syndrome"

[quaker bill]

to include type II diabetes, very high triglycerides, low hdl, high ldl, and weight gain, a low carb/complex carb diet with much more fat and protien was essential.

I was on medication for most of a year, which was not entirely pleasant. Getting rid of all sugary beverages and refined or white carbs has been my path to cure the entire set of symptoms, get off the meds, and lose weight.
