Errata:

Richard mentioned for each 1% increase in HbA1c there is a 22% increase in diabetic complications, the actual value is 21%.

Daisy Brackenhall

I am a 40 something Brit and have lived in France for the last 13 years. I have been overweight or obese for most of my life. I started on the big change with weight loss surgery about 8 years ago. After years struggling with a gastric band, I had my gastric sleeve a few years ago and started finding out about LCHF soon afterwards. It has taken a couple of years for me to become keto but I am so glad I have. I was surprised to find that the extra reduction in carbs has significantly helped with carb cravings as well as my emotional eating habits. I also have Hashimotos, depression and migraines. The latter two have been improved monumentally since I have been eating keto. I love being part of the 2KetoDudes' new adventure on the forum and am also very proud of the Facebook page I started. I cannot claim ownership though - that goes to the great women who make up the members.
