Christine’s journey is nothing short of Amazing with a capital A. In only a year, she has lost 100 lbs (45 kg) and transformed her health with a keto diet and intermittent fasting.

She wrote to us before and told us how she did it (and it ended up being the second most popular success story of 2017). Above you see a recent tweet from her, and it looks like she is still doing fantastic.

Congratulations Christine!

Congratulations, Christine and thanks for sharing! I love keto too and am so glad I found it. I still have some weight to lose, but it's coming off steadily and I feel better every day. I can't ever get the 50+yrs of mainstream dieting back, but I know this is the final 'battle' to control my weight. It still amazes me that a ketogenic/low carb way of eating has a built in appetite 'block', if you will. Not having to deal with tormenting carb cravings every day and night allows me to eat to full satisfaction and be done with it while losing weight.
All the best!
