Is it impossible to exercise and build muscle without a lot of carbs? Hardly.

Here is Martina from the Swedish blog Health & Science. She eats LCHF without much dairy and lifts weights, and it shows:

Freddie at “Sweden’s fattest blog” has now been eating strict LCHF and doing strength training for 46 weeks. He’s getting ready for the final push. Will he accomplish all his fitness goals in a year as planned?

Here’s another spectacular story. 19-year-old Josefin had struggled with her weight for most of her life. One year ago she started LCHF, since then she’s lost 97 pounds. Impressive indeed. Now she’s blogging about her journey to inspire others:

I got another nice email recently from a man who didn’t mind sharing his story: Read more »

This is Tommy Runesson. In September 2009 (to the left) his weight was 386 pounds. Then he started eating strict LCHF, all the real low carb high fat food he wanted, mostly meat, butter, mayonnaise and some vegetables. He avoided almost all sugar and starch.

Today, less than two years later, his weight is 190 pounds. No hunger was needed, no surgery and no exercise beyond some extra walking during the second half of the weight loss. Pretty spectacular. You can see some more pictures and a video interview with him (in Swedish unfortunately) on my Swedish blog.
