I have been doing high fat / low carb for over a year now. The results?
Weight from 245 to 155
Blood sugar from 340+ to <100
Joint pain completely gone
Gingivitis completely gone
Psoriasis greatly reduced
Overall health greatly improved.
Congrats!!!
That's about ten pounds per month. Quite an achievement.
I'm seventy now I haven't seen 155 for about 30 years.
I adopted a low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet about eight months ago and have lost only about one and a half pounds per month; which I consider great. At 5'-9" I topped out just above 200. I'm now just below 190.
What I like about the diet is that I don't have cravings like I did when I consumed a lot of carbs. It's not hard to continue eating like I am doing now.
If I am down below 170 a year from now and can maintain that, I will be extremely happy with the results.
