Tell us about health benefits you have gained from following a lower-carb approach to eating. Have you been able to control blood pressure? Improve risk factors for heart disease such as cholesterol or triglycerides? Decrease heartburn or irritable bowel disease? These are just a few of the many benefits people experience from cutting carbs. We have separate pages about weight loss and blood glucose control. If you want to mention them here, that's OK, but if they are the main thing you want to write about, please do it on these pages.
