I honestly didn't think I would make it this far.
I wish I had some stats like fasting glucose, inches lost, etc. but I didn't think to do that when I started. I can tell you that I have lost 9 lbs! Which on a little frame like me is a lot. I didn't start this diet to lose weight, but that sure has been a nice side effect.
