Share your storyDown 100 pounds thanks to low carb and intermittent fasting
, medical review by Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, MD
in High blood pressure, Intermittent fasting, Keto, Success stories 
Mark has lost 100 pounds (45 kg) and gotten rid of his high blood pressure with a low-carb diet and intermittent fasting. And he continues to experiment with his low-carb lifestyle. Now he’s getting leaner with only one workout per week:
Dear Dr. Eenfeldt,
After seeing your recent tweet regarding success stories w/ LCHF, I felt compelled to send you a pic of my transformation. From the 290s (132 kg) down to the 190s (86 kg). No more HBP meds!
I started low carb in Nov ’16 (discovered DietDoctor.com sometime around the first of the year)
I began intermittent fasting in April ’17
I have been weight stable since October ’17
I have been playing around with different LCHF/keto/IF approaches recently and slowly whittling my weight down, while gaining muscle (only ONE workout per week), and getting leaner.Again, thank you for all the work that you and the Diet Doctor team do!
Respectfully,
Mark

Do you have a success story you want to share on this blog? Send it (photos appreciated) to andreas@dietdoctor.com, and please let me know if it’s OK to publish your photo and name or if you’d rather remain anonymous.
It would also be greatly appreciated if you shared what you eat in a typical day, whether you fast etc.
If it's an indictment of modern medicine and the sad state of human health, then I concur. Doctors should be seeking truth. Forty years of misguided dietary dogma have steered us straight toward an extinction-level event. It's time for the fat-phobic lies to stop.
If the comment by Mckim was directed toward LCHF, Keto, Fasting, or any of the people that have found success with those programs, then I would be very interested in learning more about what prompted the seemingly negative comment.
