The Fat Ginger Nerd By Brendan Reid
Many on this forum have known Grav, and admired his thoughtful writing, since he joined here in 2016. His success story was first published on DietDoctor and in our success stories section in January 2017. https://forum.lowcarber.org/showthread.php?t=476150
Today, only a few days from publication of his first book, The Fat Ginger Nerd, A Weight Loss Story, Diet Doctor has posted the follow-up on his continued success.

Quote:
If Brendan Reid could invent a time machine, he would go back to his overweight teenage self, sitting alone playing video games in his bedroom, and tell him about the low-carb, keto diet.
More precisely, he would give himself a copy of the book he has just finished writing, The Fat Ginger Nerd, which describes his lifelong struggle with his weight, and his transformation, losing 122 pounds (55 kilos), after ditching the carbs.
“Had I known at that age what I know now, my life could have been so completely different,” Brendan writes in his moving, eloquent book, which will be released at the end of February 2022.
But since time travel is not possible, Brendan hopes, instead, to inspire and help modern-day overweight kids who are bullied and isolated, like he was. Or help the adult versions of those individuals who still carry the pounds and the hurts of those years.
He understands how they are feeling. “It is almost like looking at myself in my earlier years.”

If you don't already know Brendan, and his beautiful writing style, there are posts to sample on his blog, and I highly recommend purchasing his book.
