I am a 48 yr old wife and mother of three adult children. I had previously weighed 215 pounds after the birth of my last child some 18 yrs ago...I started yoga, weight loss supplements and walking and eventually got myself back down to about 160 pounds. Well that was back in my early to mid 30's. I kept it off till I got re-married in 2005 to a cook!!! Needless to say, YES, I gained some of it back?! I divorced that husband in 2009 and like magic I lost weight again??!! This time I was down to about 155 pounds! Mostly due to ACV (apple cider vinegar). Well, lightening indeed does strike twice...I re-re-married again (to yet another cook!!!??) in 2014 and you guessed it...my weight began slowly creeping up to my current weight of 190. I have tried everything from weight watchers, to apple cider vinegar, to lemon juice, fresh garlic, golden milk, chia seeds, cinnamon, walking, calorie reduction, the Master cleanse, and even Intermittent fasting....so I'm exhausted, frustrated, menopausal, and just plain tired of it all...then I happened upon the Bulletproof phenomenon and subsequently LCHF. I have also tried Atkins way back in the mid 90's and didnt particularly care for it, as I had hypoglycemia during that time and it did not agree with my system at all. I am 4 days into BP & LCHF and I dont seem to be having any symptoms of hypoglycemia. I dont have cravings, and surprisingly dont miss sugar?! So I'm going to give this a shot at least until the end of the year!
