Of the respondents, more than 500 had been low-carb for over 2 years.<\/p>\n<p>While many of the respondents started a low-carb diet for weight loss, they also reported other physical and psychological improvements. 51 percent reported having high energy levels (compared to only 4% before low-carb). Use of various medications reduced by more than half, and eight out of 10 respondents reported improved self-esteem and overall happiness.[\/vc_column_text]<a  itemprop=\"url\" href=\"https:\/\/lowcarbaction.org\/category\/stories\/\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color='#005b94' data-hover-border-color='#005b94'  class=\"qbutton  white default\" style=\"margin: 20px 0; \">Read Our Long-Term Low-Carb Success Stories<\/a>[\/qode_elements_holder_item][\/qode_elements_holder][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1646181185755{padding-top: 6vh !important;padding-bottom: 6vh !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: contain !important;}&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; el_class=&#8221;background-right&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2>Latest from Twitter<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator type=&#8221;small&#8221; position=&#8221;left&#8221;][vc_column_text][custom-twitter-feeds][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1585337664702{margin-top: 10vh !important;margin-bottom: 2vh !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; angled_section=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; background_image_as_pattern=&#8221;without_pattern&#8221; z_index=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1610041735394{background-color: #f0f1ef !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;ab-remove&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1596830997092{background-image: url(https:\/\/lowcarbaction.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/hero-form-bg.png?id=2899)&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"full_width.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<title>Low-Carb Action Network -
