Linda Gardner's Blog: “People Who Know Me Are Astonished!”

Before and after

Scott encountered a weight-loss plateau, but decided to use the Diet Doctor function “Ask the Experts“. He was adviced to push through the plateau – and here’s what happened:

Dear Dr. Eenfeldt,

Belatedly, thanks for the information and encouragement about weight loss plateaus you offered me on your Ask the Experts page. It’s helped me stay on course and ride out a couple of additional plateaus.

I’ve lost an average of 6-7 kg (13-15 lbs) a month with LCHF, IF and moderate protein – far more than I had expected.

Since then, I’ve lost another 10 kg (22 lbs), bringing the total to 28 kg (62 lbs).
Since starting in July, I’ve lost an average of 6-7 kg (13-15 lbs) a month with LCHF, IF and moderate protein – far more than I had expected. My A1c has fallen from the high pre-diabetic range to a healthier 5.2 mmol/l (94 mg/dl).

I’ve had plenty of energy to continue resistance training 3-4 times a week, and the lifestyle change and weight loss have helped me improve the intensity of my exercise. I’m beyond happy with the changes so far, and people who know me are astonished!

One note in closing: I’ve had no symptoms of asthma since July when I changed my diet. Though I suspect this is because one of the many carbohydrates I stopped eating was wheat flour, I can’t be sure.

Thanks again,
Scott
