NSV-Blood WorK Results

LatinaGordita

I wanted to share my blood work results. I started a low carb high fat keto diet late October 2013. I have to say that at first trying this diet I was concerned about what would happen to my Cholesterol. I was that person that thought animal fat makes you fat and puts you at risk for heart disease. I spent 9 years being vegetarian before I went keto, and was over 200 lbs those 9 years. I will let my blood speak for itself.

The numbers don't lie. While there are many reasons to lose weight, none can trump better health. Great work.
