Alex is 33 years old and has been a type 1 diabetic since she was 3 years old. She found Dr. Bernstein's book when she was 26 and started following his methods the next day. Since then, she has reversed most of the long-term complications that she was told were progressive and irreversible and has turned her health around completely. Now, she is very active in the online diabetes community, helping other diabetics find their way to what living a good life with type 1 diabetes looks like for them.

Bradley lived off a high-carb diet for most of his life. Despite a very active lifestyle in the military, he always struggled to keep his weight down and suffered from back injuries and sciatica over the years for which he had to receive surgery at 28. On his last deployment overseas, he experimented with fasting and keto before transitioning almost completely to carnivore by the time he came back home. Basically, he came around to doing the exact opposite of the Army's nutrition advice and ate all the red meat and eggs he wanted. The result was that he pretty quickly lost 20 pounds and the lingering sciatica he had from his laminectomy surgery, something I thought I was stuck with for life, completely disappeared. Freedom from pain has allowed him to lift weights on a daily basis and he is stronger and sleeps better at 32 than he ever did in his teens or 20s. He only wishes he had discovered this diet earlier in life so he could have avoided a lot of annoyance and anguish.

In 2019, Treflyn decided to turn his back on the way that he had been eating and living. He had always had a tendency to put on weight. And like most people, he had managed to lose weight but also to put it on again. Since he has been on a one-meal-a-day regime, he can say that it has changed his outlook on getting healthy by understanding what makes him gain weight. Along his weight loss journey, he met Dr. Joanne McCormack who is an advocate of the Low Carbohydrate Diet, as a result of this he started running multiple weekly support group meetings for her. He was invited to speak with a group of Doctors and spoke alongside Dr. Joanne McCormack and Drs. David and Jen Unwin, who are pioneers in the low carbohydrate community. With all public meetings having to close in May 2020, he set up a Facebook group called KEEP FAT CLUB which he renamed to LOCALOFA (LOw CArbohydrate LOw FAt) which currently has 2000+ international members and he has a YouTube channel called WARRINGTON LOW CARBOHYDRATE GROUP which currently has just under 9,000 subscribers.

Visit https://www.dartagnan.com/ KasumiKriss was a top tier soccer player in The Netherlands when she became Vegan in 2014. Within months, aching joints and declining energy levels sidelined her soccer career, and slowly ate away at her life. While her skin aged, her hair fell out, and while she lost her period on more than one occasion, she pressed on with her vegan diet until she finally reached a breaking point in 2018. Embracing the carnivore diet in 2018, Kristel experienced a personal renaissance. Her energy levels, mental clarity, and physical health rebounded, and her hair and skin quickly followed suit. Now, after four years on a Carnivore and Animal-based diet, Kristel has been living the best, and healthiest years of her life.
