Low Carb Lifestyle Support Sessions

The Fiteracy Low Carb Lifestyle Community Group has been created to assist people wishing to learn more about the benefits of low carb lifestyles for both physical and mental health. The benefits of a low carb lifestyle are continuing to be proven through an evidence base that is NOT funded by big pharma or the food industry. This page features a number of health professionals including dietitians, physiotherapists, a GP and myself an exercise physiologist. The page has been created to assist people who are both passionate or new to learning about low carb.
