Keto success story: “I wish I had known this 20 years ago”

sharon

Are all calories equal? Sharon says no! Although she eats much more food on keto, she’s still managed to lose more weight than when she followed a low-fat diet.

Sharon’s story

I was one of your success stories back in 2013 when I lost 70 lbs (32 kg), horrible psoriasis, joint pain and serious “down days”. I just thought I would update you ☺

It’s been nearly seven years now, I will never go back. I started a UK Facebook group and send hundreds of people your way every week. I can’t thank you enough for setting me off on this journey – it was certainly a leap of faith after all those calorie-restricted diets previously. I have never eaten so much lovely food, I eat between 1,800 and 2,000 calories a day compared to those terrible 1,000/1,200 ones that were just making me fat and miserable!

You have done a wonderful thing and set off a chain reaction that will hopefully echo for generations to come. I wish I had known this 20 years ago. Thanks to you and all your team.

Sincerely,
Sharon
