I'm not overweight but really want to overhaul my eating habits out of sheer VANITY!!!

Just wondering if anybody looks noticeably younger (skin, wrinkles etc)?? I'd be perfectly happy to hold my ageing fizzog at bay, but would love some inspiration!

Yes, I look younger on low carb. Everyone I know commented on it!

Yep, better skin, hair
It's all the water and lack of sugar I think

Me too ! I think that the additional fat is key, plus water and a general emphasis on fresh, unprocessed foods. I was doing a low fat diet (ok it was slimming world) and the main reason I've happily switched to low carb was that I looked 'tired' all the time. 10 days in and I'm already seeing improvement.

Can't believe the difference in my skin! I've always had dry skin and needed to moisturise 2-3 times a day, and use a heavy night cream. My skin is now so soft and dewy, with all the luscious cream, butter, avocados, olive oil and water! Oh, and the huge salads.

Skin and hair definitely better.
