Oh, I've just clicked on those links and I've realized that I'd read those two stories before! It's nice to connect these stories to the real people here on this forum. And a huge inspiration, as well.
Funny, I was at the gym about 2 hours ago on the elliptical and I was talking to my friend who was working out next to me, telling her what I'm doing and how I fight these late night carb cravings. Suddenly this one lady approached me and said she overheard me talking about these things and she said "try Keto, my husband and I lost ton of weight doing that and I don't care about sugar any more at all". She looked like she was in a top shape, mid 40s, you would never be able to tell that she had any weight related issues in her life. Anyways, we had a nice chat and I told her that's exactly what I'm doing right now. It's incredible how supportive the "low carb" people are once they hear about your struggles. Amazing.
