3rd July 2019 is the 1st anniversary of me starting a Ketogenic diet, which has enabled me to successfully lose 4 stone. Also, I have reversed pre-diabetes and no longer have high Blood Pressure. People on this forum have been a great help and truly inspiring - Thank You! :)

I tried really hard for six months or so to lose weight with calorie restriction "Eat less, Move more", but was unable to lose a single pound for two physiological reasons. However, losing weight on Keto has not been difficult and after shedding 4 stone my weight has stabilised at a weight I am happy with.

Here are three pdf files I've written/compiled which people might find of interest or helpful:

My Low Carb Journey Back to Health: Keto was the Key (How I came across Keto on the Low Carb forum and the essential science behind why it is safe)

Practical Tips for following a Low Carb or Ketogenic Diet (I hope some helpful pointers)

Is Elevated LDL Cholesterol (eg: from a Ketogenic diet) a Health Concern? (In depth look at cholesterol, heart-health and LDL)

What an inspiration! Well done, thank you for posting - it's helpful in so many ways to someone like me who aspires to keto but struggles. Every success story is another nail in the coffin of doubt and despair!

I remember feeling overwhelmed for quite some time at the start. I'm really glad to have been helpful to you in some way...
