Exhibit #43: Anyone who suggests #keto isn't sustainable is itching for a fight.

Exhibit #44: Recovery via a long but successful journey.

Exhibit #45: I am particularly fond of T1D success on a lower carb diet.

Exhibit #46: I thought I'd added Dr. Gray before now. What a turn-around. Enjoyed hearing your story on LCMD podcast.

Exhibit #48: Congratulations Barbara!

Exhibit #49: Congratulations! Two years going on 50.

Exhibit #50: Congratulations Mark. 100lb+ loss. Looks pretty sustainable to me.

Exhibit #51: Congratulations Vic! Ho ho ho.

Moderation Santa vs Keto Santa 🔥That is lit! 🔥

Exhibit #52: Dr. Tro's journey and results are a beacon to us all, guiding anyone who wants help toward success.

No one is beyond help. No one is beyond hope.

Exhibit #53: Congratulations! 8 stone is 112 pounds. This time, Pioppi diet by @DrAseemMalhotra did the trick.

Sustainable? Heck yeah: 2.5 years so far.

Exhibit #54: Congratulations Gina! I am especially fond of the T1D success stories. That's doing things the hard way, IMHO.

Exhibit #55: Congratulations Jess! Success with carnivore.

Exhibit #56: Keto for the win. Focus on better HEALTH.

Exhibit #57: Keto IF Results | What and when you eat matters as much if not more than how much.

Exhibit #58: This is an UPDATE to an earlier exhibit (before I was numbering them). Way to go Eranda! Lowcarb Fasting

Exhibit #59: Congratulations Lou Lou! Keto + IF strikes again.

Exhibit #60: Congratulations Ben! Keto/Low-carb + fasting wins again. Great list of helpers too.

Exhibit #61: Congratulations Prajyot, after just three weeks? Wow! Can't wait to see your 90-day follow up.

Exhibit #62: Congratulations Christine! Low-carb + Fasting = 100+ lbs lost. Fantastic!

Exhibit #63: Congratulations Gina! T1D controlled with keto/low-carb. T1D deserve normal BG levels. Institutional A1c "targets" are way too high, but must be to protect those consuming tons of carbs from hypos.

Exhibit #63, Karen from Facebook. Down 200 lbs on low-carb diet. Underscores the diet's essence is ↓carb, not ↑fat.

h/t @lchfRD

Exhibit #64: Congratulations Chris!

Keto for the win. Again.🥱

Exhibit #65: Congratulations Maria. Such a difference after only 30 days. T2D resolved.

Why is ADA A1c T2D target still at <7.0?

h/t @DietHeartNews

Exhibit #66: Congratulations Cory. Systemic improvement like yours is the best kind.

Exhibit #67: Congratulations Lou! The weight loss is great. But the best part?

"reversed chronic disease"

Exhibit #68: Well done Elizabeth! Down SEVEN dress sizes. Boom! 🔥

Exhibit #69: Congratulations Andrew. I am especially fond of T1D success!

Exhibit #70: A double header in the 100#+ LOSER club, and well deserved. Congratulations Doc! Well Done!

Exhibit #70 (cont'd): 🥳🎉🪅🍾

Exhibit 71: The dreaded "keto clothes" effect, wherein all your close become way too large and need replacing. Well done Helen!

Exhibit 71 (cont'd): The health improvements are numerous and symptoms can return if we slack off …

Exhibit #72: KetoCloset strikes again … Congratulations Dan! Feeling good feels so good.

Exhibit #72: High carb low fat "healthy" diet fails … AGAIN.

Congratulations Ruth on your transformation.

And kudos to @lowcarbGP and @jen_unwin for their guidance and support. There is a special place in heaven for the healers.

Some of these quote tweets have disappeared. That's too bad.

In celebration of 75 success stories (there must be 100s or 1000s more out there), here's a threadreader unroll to memorialize these wonderful achievements.

threadreaderapp.com/thread/1307605…
Exhibit #76: Keto success strikes again! Great results Eric! Looking better and feeling better is its own reward.

Exhibit #77: John finds Atkins, and gets his health back. Great line: "Regular food tastes better, a missed meal is hardly noticed, and junk food loses its luster." Well done.

Exhibit #78: Go against medical advice, loose 168 pounds. Way to go Em!

Exhibit #79: Four years and counting, marathoner PhoneBoy:

Exhibit #80: Down 115lbs. Better every day.

Exhibit #81: Four years and counting, going AMA (against medical advice)!

Exhibit #82: Well done Patrick! Amazing recovery.

Exhibit #83: Well done Tami and I love the attitude! #scavenger #carnivore

Exhibit #84 Congratulations Ruthann! What a difference. It is such a shame folks have to disregard HCP dietary advise to get well.

Exhibit #85: Congratulations and well done! Yet another case of "doing the opposite" restored health.

Exhibit #86: Meet the Master: Chris Cornell. A nice guy and a model low-carb transformation. Well done Chris, you are a beacon to others just finding out about the low-carb diet alternative.

Exhibit #87: What a transformation Brian. Well done. Another nice guy and a model to those who need help, need an example, need to know "this diet works."

Exhibit #88: Not every victory is profound weight loss (and a ton of other better). Sometimes the change is on the inside, like lowering HbA1c ~3%. Good on you Abigail.

Exhibit #89: Another heal for #keto #carnivore. Congratulations on this laundry list of improvements!

Exhibit #90: Wishing Accountable continued success. Well done!

Exhibit #91: LCHF Runner. Sometimes it's 80 lbs, sometimes 20. It's not (just) the weight that gets better. Well done!

Exhibit #92: Long term (10y) success. Congratulations Tami! Anyone who says LCHF isn't sustainable should get out more!

Exhibit #93: Congratulations Sandra!

"Never any gnawing hunger"

Exhibit #94: Congratulations Steve. A common and heartwarming story. The nasal cannula in the before picture is a nice touch. We focus on weight loss sometimes forgetting improvements in health. Well done! Great list of helpers too.

Exhibit #96: Congratulations RuloKeto! #lchf #keto works even in languages other than English! 😉

I just realized "abro hilo" is "open a thread???"

There's much more here, scroll down!

Exhibit #97: Congratulations Linda and Tom. Keto couple success stories are my favorite. Kudos to @DrEenfeldt

Exhibit #98: Congratulations Chef! #Keto/#LCHF chocks up another win. So fine getting both older and healthier.

Exhibit #101: Well done! So many benefits, this time on #carnivore

Exhibit #102: Medice, cura te ipsum

Physician, heal thyself

Then heal others!

Exhibit #103: Congratulations! Whole real food, low carb. Kudos to the helpers.

Exhibit #104: Sometimes, the "standard of care" is neither a good standard, nor good care.

Exhibit #105: Congratulations Roxana! And you're doing so much to help others too at @REV_Insulin_Res Image
Exhibit #106: Well done Chris! T2D is NOT a progressive, irreversible disease (unless you follow the standard of care guidelines that is).

Exhibit #107: Congratulations Vic! What a difference two years makes — on keto!

Exhibit #109: Some of the best outcomes, IMHO, are when folks can stop drugs. Well done Lola! (You go Nick!)

Exhibit #110: #keto #lchf #nsng 3 years. Congratulations Karen!

Administrative Note: As this list grows, I may post success stories from the same person more than once. I don't care. Good on them!
Exhibit #111: Well done Claire … #LCHF #Banting You have come so far — I love these journey tweets.

#GatedEating has demonstrated that I can lose weight—and keep it off—by extended fasting. That fasting is either coffee only, or a minimal amount of protein for several days each week. I have yet to demonstrate holding a particular weight, but that is mostly because I am 1/
trying to reach a target waistline and am not satisfied holding the current weight. Hunger is under much better control that pre-LCHF days, and emotional eating is also better controlled now. I must not lose sight of these accomplishments despite remaining above goal weight/size.
I had a DEXA scan last July, which revealed 3.6 lbs of visceral fat. My goal since then was to lose excess fat (determined more by waistline appearance than the scale), and have another scan this July to determine the remaining amount of visceral fat. 3/

Chakers (flattened chaffles to emulate a cracker, like matzos)

Because of the time in the dehydrator, I like making in a large batch (they keep in the fridge, and can be frozen)

I use a 5lb bag of shredded mozzarella

One batch:
200g shredded mozzarella
2 lg eggs
combine
Spray iron with olive oil (I have a sprayer)
Cook on high for ~6 minutes
Size and time depends on your iron

Chaffle -> Chacker

Place hot chaffle on cutting board
Flatten with meat pounder or equiv tool, gently or it can come apart
Place on dehydrator rack with the others
Dry the batch in a dehydrator overnight (needs a good 20 hours with my machine).

A temp of 140-160 doesn't seem to make much difference to the finished product.

Handle gently, or they will crumble.

How to break your nose in four easy steps:

1) Purchase a nice folding chaise lounge to sun yourself on.
2) Midway through your lie out, stand up and nudge the chaise toward the head end and unbeknownst to you, break over both fold out legs toward the center of the chaise. Then put both knees on the chaise, head facing forward.
3) Let your weight forcefully collapse the chaise, catapulting the head section upwards. Be sure to leverage the back height adjustment as a convenient fulcrum. Be sure to keep your nose at the right height. Positioning is crucial here. 💥

Matzos Hell

THREAD

For some reason, wife started buying a box of matzos at the grocery. She likes the cracker with the cheese in the mid morning. She's been doing the crackers—albeit a minimal quantity—for about 8 weeks. Instead of climbing the walls over gut permeability

and subclinical non-celiac wheat sensitivity, I've been searching for an alternative. Well, two things happened.

First, recent blood test results show a reversal of her TRIG:HDL ratio. Before the wheat, Trig: 53, HDL 68, Trig:HDL 0.78. Results to (not) die for. Most recent
2/
results, after the introduction of the wheat, Trig: 66, HDL 58, Trig:HDL 1.14. Still not at the "don't buy green bananas" stage, but not as good. Fasting glucose was 110 as well.

Second, amendable to alternatives, I had the idea to make an egg+mozzarella cheese chaffle, smash

What to do about COVID-19 right now …

And for the next COVID, and the next, and the next …

If this sounds like fat shaming to you please note, I cannot help the pertinacious reader.

"[I]ncreased bodyweight is the second greatest predictor of hospitalisation and a high risk of death for people suffering from COVID-19. Only old age rates as a higher risk factor.

the excess hospitalisation and need for treatment of the disease. Reducing one major risk factor, overweight, would have resulted in far less stress on health services and reduced the need to protect those services from being overwhelmed.

Ever since listening to @IreneSDavis on the @PeterAttiaMD 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 podcast last September, I've lived in three @XeroShoes models: For every day, a pair of TerraFlex, Xcursion for walking in wet conditions, and Alpine for colder snowy conditions. Added a set

Here's to the bright side of social media and those willing to share their expertise, without which I would have never known about minimalist footwear.
