I would echo
@ianf0ster. After following a low carb higher fat higher protein way of eating I lost 5 stone in weight and 8 inches off my waist which I doubt could all have been all water.
I have absolutely no idea of the mechanism as to how that happened (school science was a long time ago and I am not sure that any part of this was covered then) but what I am certain about is that it happened to me.
There are numerous others on here who can say the same thing.
I also know that many HCP's are very sceptical of it even when presented with the living proof during a consultation as many on here can attest to.
I am off all diabetes meds, my HbA1c is down to the low 30's from 98 I have gone from 15+migraine days a month to 0 in 12 months so however it works all I know and care about is that it does work and is sustainable over the years I have left in this life.
