I just completed a wellness check through my employer and it happened to coincide with my 1 year anniversary of eating semi-Peat-inspired. I get about 200-250 grams of sugar per day. Up until a few weeks ago, I had been eating larger amounts of fat but have since reduced it to about 45-50 grams per day (all coming from beef and coconut fat). Starch comes and goes, but the sugar is daily. I am intolerant to fruit for the most part, so my sugar is mostly refined (soda or sucrose).
I'm 5'11". One year ago, I weighed 190 pounds. Today, I weigh 179.6 pounds. My total cholesterol is 203 mg/dl. The "healthy" range is less than 200 mg/dl, however the science I have read shows that all cause mortality is lowest (especially in older people) at concentrations near 232 mg/dl, so I would argue that my cholesterol is on the low side.
My HDL is 46 mg/dl, the "healthy" range is greater than 40 mg/dl so this is good.
Additionally, I check my blood sugar regularly because I have HPA axis issues that result in hypoglycemia (found out that my hypo issues for the last 13 years are HPA axis related after seeing an endo recently).
My fasting blood sugar stays consistently somewhere between 70 mg/dl and 86 mg/dl. Never above this.
So, no insulin resistance as a result of this diet. It appears that my health has somewhat improved over the last year. Will keep a closer eye since I have lowered my fat intake to see what changes occur.
