Before and after

After having ignored her health issues for a long time, Joy (The LCHF dietitian) finally decided to start following the low-carb diet she recommended to her clients one year ago.

This is her story and health improvements on her one-year LCHF anniversary:

So far, I’ve lost;

32 pounds (15 kg)

8 inches (20 cm) off my waist

2 inches (5 cm) off my chest

3 inches (8 cm) off my neck

1 inch (3 cm) off my arms

1/2 (1 cm) inch off my thighs

I no longer meet the criteria for type 2 diabetes

I have blood pressure that ranges between normal and pre-hypertension

I have ideal triglycerides and excellent cholesterol levels.
