Or one who is open-minded. Hopefully there’s some out there…
I’m a bit confused regarding, what I assume is, your before and after pics, Your profile says you lost 19 pounds but the two pics look to be a difference of at least 80-100 pounds. I’m guessing the weight loss in your profile is not updated… so how much have you actually lost since May of this year?
And congrats on the transformation. 
Wish we could give you more likes. You’ll help so many people. Looking amazing btw.

I lost 20 lbs of the 30 I wanted to lose in the first 2-3 months of keto. I added fasting, intermittent and extended, and gained back 5 lbs in rebound eating, especially almonds. But my girth has continued to shrink amazingly. My ketones by finger stick stay present, from 0.5-3.5 mmols. I’m working out every 2 mornings with quick intense circuits of free weights with enough breaks to let my heart slow. Life is good. Thanks for your interest. It’s really only 15 lbs between those pictures. My goal has become more ketosis than scale-weight loss.
No Fricking way that is 15lbs only. There’s 15 lbs just in the moobs- belly is a bonus!!
Hey Dr. Marc! Thank you for sharing your amazing success story here. You are an inspiration, hope you still attend doctor conventions to spread the word. “page 4, Julie”
Ha. I’m not complaining. I’m sticking to under 20 Grams of carbs, under 100 grams protein, lots of butter, olive oil, MCT oil. I don’t miss bread, pasta, even popcorn, which I was addicted to. I have tried to lose even a few pounds for years and always gained a little instead because I got hungry and I liked ice cream. Now I eat mostly once a day, make sure I eat broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, but not over carb limit. Plenty of water. Cup of bouillon a day for salt. Finally blood pressure dropping after 6 months but have to use mostly decaf coffee. Starbucks has decaf espresso.

Aside from my weight and size loss I’ve learned that I treated diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol wrong for an entire career.

The difference between the two photos is remarkable in that it’s only a 15 pound loss. I’m very pleased to hear you have your keto priorities in order. It’s all about the journey, not the destination. 
I had this same experience. Just knew I was going to struggle, but now I don’t even care.
Dr Marc, I’m new to posting here. I’m trying to upload a picture for you to see. I have been Keto since Jan 2 2018. My Dr doesnt “get it” I have lost 67 lbs and feel AMAZING!
She is worried about my LDL and, of course wants me to get on statins. I refuse. What more should I be doing? If ANYONE has any ideas, I appreciate them.
I’m also hoping my picture uploads…
Lori, I have found it necessary to search for a keto-enlightened doctor since my statin reliant physician has not had time to take from her busy practice to examine the role of insulin in heart disease. I understand because I was her, not getting that multiple feedings of sugar and starch in a day keep insulin levels high and promote insulin resistance, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, coronary disease, kidney failure, and vascular disease, to name a few damaging side effects of my former dietary ignorance. I don’t blame her. It’s hard to take time and it’s not mainstream medical practice, but I won’t take a statin to support mainstream medicine. Ultalabtesting.com lets you purchase an advanced cholesterol panel and I found that my high Total cholesterol and LDL were of the healthy pattern. You may have to Google to get the exact interpretation. I did. My doctor doesn’t know there is a healthy kind of LDL and, sadly, acted like I was a mental defective. I’m going to pay for a consultation with a doctor who is informed and enthusiastic about low carb, high fat, intermittent and extended fasting. He’s 3 hours drive away.

Also new to posting, I’ve been drinking acv morning and night (2Tbsp each) based on this video from 2 fit docs.
I’ve been doing it for over a month now and will be going for tests in a couple of weeks for my n=1 results. I’m not concerned about cholesterol but my doctor is, so to save the hassle I’ll see if I can bring it down some. I’m not going to take statins I’ll switch doctors first.
I mix up a keto friendly electrolyte drink so it’s not straight acv.
2 Tbsp acv
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 tsp cream of tartar (Potassium bitartrate)
1/2 tsp salt (Redmond’s real salt)
Stevia to sweeten
Water or sparkling water as required
