First For Women

“I reversed my Type 2 diabetes!”

-

Mary Roberts braced herself as she tested her blood-glucose levels—she knew they might be high after eating her husband’s birthday cake the night before. But she wasn’t prepared for the number that flashed: 240, she gasped. I could have a stroke!

In addition to diabetes, Mary suffered from a metabolic condition, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, asthma and low immunity. She realized her eating habits were a problem, so when a friend suggested the website Ketovangel­ist.com, she decided to give keto a try.

Mary started eating Cobb salads, avocados, olive oil, salmon, almonds, sunflower seeds, even dark chocolate, and dropped 13 pounds in 13 days. Enjoying healthy Mediterran­ean-style fats kept Mary calm and fueled as she lost a total of 105 pounds in 22 months. “It was so satisfying,” she says. “I felt duped by all my previous low-fat diets. Saturated fats are healthy if you’re not eating carbs. I love the saying, ‘Don’t blame the butter for what the bread did.’”

What’s more: Mary lowered her blood sugar from 240 to 80. “I reversed my Type 2 diabetes and I take zero meds now!” she cheers. “I put butter on my steak and I’m in better health than I’ve ever been!”

This journey exceeded all of

Mary’s dreams. “I’ve even had to have my wedding band resized three times!

Life is awesome!”
