Thank you so much for giving me my life back

July 27 2018 by , medical review by in Success stories

Joyce gained a lot of weight due to stressful working conditions. Fortunately she found the keto diet. Here’s what happened in just a couple of months:

Hey,

I felt I should share my story to motivate someone to hopefully try the low carb diet and regain their self-confidence as I did. I am 25 years old and gained a lot of weight early this year due to stressful working conditions. I was 95 kg (209 lbs).

I am so excited and so much more confident with myself.
I started the low-carb diet in the last week of April and added in two days of 15 minutes workout just for stretching as I have a desk job and have not gone back since.

I checked the scale this week (second week of July) and I am down to 80 kg!!! (176 lbs). I have gone down from a size 16 to a size 12! My goal is at 75 kg (165 lbs) so I still have 5 to lose, but I am so excited and so much more confident with myself. Thank you so much for giving me my life back. xoxo

Dr. Ken Berry wants us all to be aware that much of what our doctors say may be a lie. Maybe not an outright malicious lie, but much of what “we” believe in medicine can be traced back to word-of-mouth teachings without a scientific basis.
