These photos were taken 2 years apart, I'm now 16 months into my LCHF journey. HbA1c remains at 29 (non diabetic) and I've lost 11 stone in total over the last 2 years. So yes, I'm going to say that (for me at least) LCHF definitely works! :D

Yep, I'm still struggling a little to be proud of what I've achieved instead of just feeling so ashamed of the state I had gotten myself into, but I wanted to share a good news story just so people know it IS possible. Prior to taking the LCHF plunge I'd been trying desperately to lose weight with low fat and calorie counting but was SO ravenously hungry all the time and the more low fat carbs I ate, the hungrier I got.
I gave an 8 stone person a piggyback the other day and nearly collapsed under the weight of them - it just seems unreal to me that I've lost quite so much! :happy::shy::woot:
