I wanted to try something different, improve my health – walk longer distances without feeling breathless. Other diets were quite costly, I found them hard to stick to and frankly, once the diets were over, returning to eating everyday foods only made me gain weight again… more so than prior to starting the diets!

The appeal was being able to eat “normal” foods and not having to purchase specific specialist costly products. Years of yo-yo dieting and more recently, more weight gain! Fed up with my increasing clothes sizes – yet refusing to get rid of clothing, I could no longer fit into; convincing myself, I’ll wear them again! I had seen Ken Barnes’ post on Facebook about the low carb high fat diet. When I read the results people were getting, I thought I would give it a try.
