I am a 52 year old male and have been on a low carb diet for about 18
months.
Currently 5'9", 180 lb.
Prior to that I was sedentary and overweight.
I initially lost and maintained 50 pound weight loss.
For the past year (after initial weight loss) I eliminated sugar, refined
flour products, and high starch foods like potatoes and rice from my diet.
I take a daily multivitamin/mineral supplement.
I exercise regularly (walking 2-3 miles and jogging 1-2 miles) 5 days/week.
Just before Thanksgiving, I developed hip pain while jogging.
Long story short, my hip was fractured.
Surgery and installation of pins was required.
I'll be on crutches for at least another 4 weeks.
Bone scan shows moderate loss (2.1).
Is anyone aware of a relationship between low carb and reduced bone density?
The research I have done so far actually indicates some potential benefits
wrt bone density.
While I have not been drinking milk, my vitamin and cheese intake should
have been providing adquate calcium.
Thanks in advance for any information or experience you may have.
