Fit, not Fat

1 Conversation

An hourglass.

About two weeks ago I changed my diet. I decided to try the LCHF way because it suits me best.

Four days ago, I eventually started adding some regular exercise in form of cycling to my diet, since my weight doesn't budge - although I don't eat any sweets, potatoes, pizza, pasta or bread, and generally nothing that contains fructose or carbohydrates.

Today, Willem told me that he has started exercising too, and that we could encourage each other. Willem's diet is lots of fruit, vegetables and fibres, medium fat, proteins and carbs.
