Dr. E. and his website helped us to lose 40+ lbs so far... We tried everything else. My husband was diagnosed with Type II diabetes and placed on the pharmaceutical regimen... weeks after starting the Ketogenic Diet, he was able to come off the meds... We are believers and this is now just our way of life... Thank you Dr. E

Found this site after I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and when my cardiologist told my wife the reason was, "He's getting old and fat" (I'm not THAT old). So started this diet using the tools and recipes on the site and went from approx. 216 lbs@ 5'10", to 195 lbs over about 3 months. I use many of the recipes from the site and often (even today) view some of the videos online when I want some encouragement. Through this site I have discovered other resources and other local area physicians (like Dr Westman) that I have been able to attend conferences and listen to their lectures. I find the site informative and not just a bunch of opinions that any ready can upload - it's actually useful information.

Diet Doctor is fantastic and worth joining as a paying member! I had cancer and when my treatment ended I was told about by a friend about LCHF as an anti cancer, anti inflammatory way of eating. My husband who is a Medical Doctor said " let's try it as you don't have anything to loose." So we did and joined Diet Doctor as a monthly paying couple. We wanted to hear all the full talks from Doctors and others from around the world plus get all the incredible recipes and up date news. In three months I lost seven kgs, my blood markers had improved greatly, I was off satins and my blood pressure pills were halved as my BP just kept falling! I felt great.
We have been doing it for five years and have just had my five year cancer clearance and am no longer on any anti cancer drugs YAY!
During the past five years we have introduced so many of our friends and colleagues to Diet Doctor and they like us have found it to be so informative! It has helped changed their and our lives and health forever. It is amazing because it is so honest and only wants to promote eating real food for good health. I would recommend it to anyone who is tired of processed junk foods which are so readily available and are slowly killing all the people of the world

Love my new body
October 27, 2018

Since finding Diet Doctor New Years Eve 2017 I have been eating keto. I have since lost 15kg without much effort, I am loathed to call this way of eating a diet as such, because this is now how I eat for the rest of my life. Through this site I have learnt so much both practical and theory, but still find a lot of opposition to my way of thinking. People are still trying to tell me to eat low fat and exercise more to lose weight. I'm living proof that low fat does not work long term. I love that Diet Doctor has all the information you need in one place, this is my go to site.

I have spent my life in healthcare. As our understanding of the importance of controlled carbohydrate diets unfolded I witnessed many battles within the professional ranks. The public and our patients have been misled for 40+ years. Diet Doctor has had the courage to challenge the mainstream. Cannot speak more highly than that. Courage to alert us that the low fat thought police got it wrong!

It was just by good fortune that I stumbled across the Diet Doctor site a few years ago.
I was desperately looking for help to lose weight and manage my blood sugar. I was so impressed by the simple, clear and honest information on LCHF. I began right away and was amazed by the good results. I was a woman in my late 60's and had been over weight for years. I lost over 50 pounds, and now have normal blood glucose readings. The Diet Doctor site continues to grow and improve. I love it. I have recommended it to friends and family without hesitation.

There are some incredible doctors, scientists and specialists around the world who have made inspirational improvements to patient's health through diet alone. The Diet Doctor brings many of these people together and gives me access to their knowledge and research without having to worry about credentials and credibility. The recipes are great, interviews are excellent as are the movies. I love that there are no commercials or cash for comment.

Helpful and informative
October 24, 2018

I find Diet Doctor an invaluable source of information, recipes, tips and success stories for the keto lifestyle. When you google anything about keto the amount of info there is can be overwhelming, so when I found Diet Doctor I decided that it would be my go to.
This is because the info is supported by doctors and I find the advice and information are always balanced and backed by experience, science and sound knowledge.
It has helped me lose 70 pounds too, so must be doing something right!

I was LCHF before the Diet Doctor site began, and had already dropped the 10kg that i had been struggling with for decades. So I was really delighted when it got underway. It's a true one-stop shop, with videos, films, recipes, success stories and most importantly, activism. The calm, respectful and evidence-based approach is excellent. I love it, just wish you could get a cheaper annual rate.

My husband and I been on the LCHF diet since almost 3 years and the dietdoctor.com website has always been our go-to ressource for information on the diet and their recipes (we love that their recipes are both in metric/imperial units and that the ingredients are calculated based on the number of servings you need!) as well as the videos/films helping us understand the latest research on the keto science.

The information provided by DietDoctor.com is cherry-picked and misleading. Their articles always seem to accentuate the benefits of low-carb diets without taking serious consideration to potential health risks.

What if the low-carb diet isn't healthy or effective for a specific individual, then what should they do?

DietDoctor.com has no answer for this question, potentially leading at-risk individuals down a path that can devastate their health.
Even the website name itself is very misleading. By calling your website "DietDoctor", you are assuming the responsibility of understanding the benefits and risks of many different diets for various populations and conditions while maintaining an unbiased take on them all.

Instead, when you go to DietDoctor.com, you are overwhelmed with information about low-carb dieting and that's it. This can lead consumers to believe that low-carb and keto diets are the only way to improve health and lose weight which is not backed up by the research literature and goes against medical consensus.

Hi Matt!

Thank you for your feedback. I'm very sorry to hear that you've experienced our site like that. We try to stay as objective and unbiased as we can, for example by not allowing ads, not selling products, having no affiliate collaborations and taking no industry money.

We do attempt to take health risks as seriously as we can. For example we have a section about known side effects of a low-carb diet, and how to handle them. We also try to make it clear who need to be careful when starting a low-carb or keto diet, who would need medical support, and what extra considerations are necessary in specific cases. See for example these pages:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/side-effects
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/with-diabetes-medications
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/with-high-blood-pressure
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/when-breastfeeding

There are also many myths surrounding low-carb and keto diets, and we try to make it clear what health risks are supported by science, and which are not, or even disproven:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/fears
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/science

We do not believe that low-carb or keto diets are the only way to improve health or to lose weight, there are clearly many other diet and lifestyle interventions that may be helpful, and in some situations more helpful. We try our best to make it clear in what situations it may be worth testing a low-carb or keto diet, when there is good support from scientific studies and extensive clinical experience to support its use:
https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb#benefits

I would be very happy if you could let us know specifically how we can improve, and what potential health risks you feel we may underestimate or that we need to improve our information about.

Best regards,
Andreas Eenfeldt, MD
