Before and after LCHF
Johanna Engström has had a fantastic journey. She was inches from having gastric bypass surgery, but decided at the last minute to try LCHF instead. Fast forward around one year and she’s lost 112 pounds! And her internal organs are still intact.
Truly impressive:

Thank you Dr. Eenfeldt for all you do to spread the word.
They look 2 different persons. I checked her Facebook profile but cannot see anything.
Thanks.
In that time I have known 9 people who have gotten some kind of bariatric (which, not-so-ironically, my spellcheck keeps wanting to change to 'barbaric') surgery. ONE has had long-term success, and he was a male in his mid-20s. One actually almost died just last month because they had to go in and repair something minor five years later, severed a major artery on the way out, and she lost 6 liters of blood as they frantically called every available surgeon in to repair her. I don't remember the specifics now, but I had googled it when I got the news and what happened to her has a 90% mortality rate. People should NOT be cutting into their bodies and rearranging perfectly healthy organs. Lose the weight with LCHF and save the money for a face lift! :-)
It is startling how easily doctors recommend gastric bypass compared to how reluctant they are to suggest trying LCHF. Why it's not standard protocol to attempt LCHF first is absolutely baffling, and depressing.
Congratulations to Johanna for her success. She will be an inspiration to countless people.
