Are all calories equal? Sharon says no! Although she eats much more food on keto, she’s still managed to lose more weight than when she followed a low-fat diet.
Sharon’s story
I was one of your success stories back in 2013 when I lost 70 lbs (32 kg), horrible psoriasis, joint pain and serious “down days”. I just thought I would update you ☺
It’s been nearly seven years now, I will never go back. I started a UK Facebook group and send hundreds of people your way every week. I can’t thank you enough for setting me off on this journey – it was certainly a leap of faith after all those calorie-restricted diets previously. I have never eaten so much lovely food, I eat between 1,800 and 2,000 calories a day compared to those terrible 1,000/1,200 ones that were just making me fat and miserable!
You have done a wonderful thing and set off a chain reaction that will hopefully echo for generations to come. I wish I had known this 20 years ago. Thanks to you and all your team.
Sincerely,
Sharon
