I’ll try to keep this succinct and pithy! 
Charley here. Behind the bulging front lines in the ginormously obese state of Alabama.
I’ve been keto (and spontaneously, deliberately irregularly, Fasting) since the new year and started back practicing taekwondo after a 20 year hiatus at the same time. (I’ve taken class at every stage of LCHF-IF, but the best performance for me was after 2-3 heaping tablespoons of coconut oil blended into coffee, even decaf [sparring with more boundless energy than as a teenager is just mind-blowing])
SV: I just need 9 lbs or so to be considered a ‘normal’ BMI and get insurance/work off my back for good. All metabolic/lipid markers improved as we expect. My weight peaked at 257 over the past few years is 190 now and and slowly dropping.
NSVs: 40 inch waist to 33 now on a 5’11" frame. Confounding carb burning sparring partners. Fattening Kindle content list of books related to this WOE, and now I’m hooked on this podcast thing. To the point where I’m compelled to pledge at Patreon even!
Issues: Degenerative arthrosis in all Lumbar and Sacral discs, have had laminectomy at L5-S1, and scar tissue causes chronic pain. I’m now a patient in a multidisciplinary clinic, who practice LCHF 
but let’s say some things just can’t regenerate fully. If you can avoid scar tissue, then do. If you can’t, then remodel it like a maniac.
Alrighty, enough about me, thanks y’all for providing this resource and I will do my part to not poop on it enhance it where possible!
