I had been fairly slim most of my adult life, and could lose easily by cutting carbs. However, menopause brought with it a 50 pound weight gain that proved very resistant to any effort I made. I tried WW, Atkins, Dukan, among other diets plans. I started utilizing Keto and IF on 12/26. The first week was an adjustment period, but hunger was not NEARLY as bad as it has been on the many other diets I have tried. I was able to lose 25 pounds in the first 3 months! Over the ensuing 5 months, I ...

Keto has completely changed the quality of my life. I had heard of Keto before but as I have Celiac Disease, I wasn’t interested in restricting my diet any more than I already did having to entirely avoid gluten already. I lived a miserable life health-wise and had for many years. I had a body filled with inflammation, digestive issues, pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, gall bladder issues, depression, and anxiety. I was exhausted all the time and was sick and in so much pain I basically ...

I started my Keto journey at 194 pounds and a size 16. I had just turned 30, worked full-time, attended school at night, and was married with a toddler. I didn’t think I’d be able to have the time to do this. I started by committing to a week of Keto and would quit if nothing happened. Almost immediately I started feeling better. My joint and heel pain went away, I had more energy, and I started to lose weight. In August of the following year, I hit my lowest weight of 139 pounds (55 pounds ...

I think I first saw mention of keto on the hypothyroidism subreddit. I became curious first because my doctor had already told me I needed to restrict carbs and second because this hypo sufferer on reddit claimed keto allowed her to lose a ton of weight easily. I was duly suspect. The only time I had been able to lose significant weight was with a Herculean effort in college. I ate a starvation diet, tracking my calories through Weight Watchers. I exercised religiously. I didn't go out with ...

It all started several years ago. I have been overweight or a little chunky basically all throughout my teens. When I was younger, it wasn’t a huge issue because I was active and played sports. Once I got into high school, I moved away from sports and got into art. I was less active but still loved to eat. When I was 18 and in my first year of college (2012), I had reached 200lbs. It was at this time that I met my current husband. We went out to eat often and otherwise stayed home, so the ...

I’ve been doing keto for a while now. Not for myself but for my 6 year old daughter who was having up to 28 tonic-clonic seizures a day. We tried a bunch of medications and even a surgery but nothing worked. They got progressively worse. In April we started her on keto with the help of a nutritional team. 4 days after starting keto she stopped having seizures. She has been seizure free since. It has been a life-changing journey for my little girl. She is nonverbal and has had seizures since ...

At 42 years old and being overweight my whole life, I was recovering from a car accident and gaining evenore weight. I saw a friend was having success with a low carb diet, and asked her about it. She told me to start by checking out this website, Ruled.me A few minutes in and I was hooked! I eliminated sugar from my diet right away, and started doing more research into Keto and what foods I should be eating along with tracking macros. I saw immediate success, and I have never looked ...

My story starts like a lot of you. For decades I had used food as a coping mechanism for stress, depression, and anxiety. Eventually I ran into health issues including sleep apnea, pre type 2 diabetes, sky high blood pressure, and kidney stones. After doing some heavy research, I decided to go into the Keto diet. As a Strongman competitor, I had the exercise part down pat. My major issue is I was always hungry. I could eat every hour with no issue. I needed help with being satisfied with my ...

In August, I got what my doctor called “the last talk”. My lab work was a disaster, and if my A1C got any higher I would be diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. I went home that night and knew I had to make a change. My wife’s friend had lost a significant amount of weight so we asked her how she had done it. She introduced us to keto. I was skeptical, but my wife and I both committed to doing keto for 60 days. We started in October. When I went back to the doctor in January the following year, my ...

At the end of the year, I realized I had been so busy with being a Mom, wife, friend and employee that I had let myself go. I didn't like how I felt or how I looked and decided I would go into the new year putting myself care first. I found out about keto through a Paleo Facebook group and haven't looked back. I started at almost 300 pounds and in 2 years have lost 145 pounds. After those 2 years, I started lifting weights to help with building muscle and loose skin. I started using Instagram ...
