No matter what diet I tried or how much exercise I did, I didn't seem to lose weight. I could lose a pound or two with excessive dieting and training, but as soon as I slowed down I would gain it back plus interest. I started keto with mild hopes for dropping a few pounds and trying to "reset" my metabolism. I followed the plan, stayed within my macros, and had zero cheat days for three months. I went from 194 to 164, and managed to keep it all off through the holiday season and still ...

I had never even heard of keto until about a year ago. A friend of mine was having good success with it so I thought I would give it a try.

Keto has become a lifestyle for me! I have told everyone I know about it! I'm wearing sizes I haven't worn since high school. I feel like it's easy to maintain. 1. ...

Take a look at my blood tests 6 months after starting keto. If you want to crush carb addiction, get healthy, get stronger and ...

I have been active, involved and passionate about sports since I was young. In high school, I was the first female on the wrestling team and was varsity for three years. I attended wrestling camp in summer, and was given nutrition seminars and taught the food pyramid/low-fat school of thought. It was drilled into my way of thinking that fat is bad...I drank skim milk, ate lean protein like chicken and fish, and deprived myself of lots of junk food that most teenagers eat. Making my weight ...

My Keto journey began with an insurance blood test in March, 2017. My premium quote was tripled due to my weight and blood results. Weight was 235 lb. My a1c was 6.1. I was deemed obese and pre-diabetic. I was taking high dose Lipator for cholesterol, High dose of Protonix for gerd/acid reflux and a beta-blocker for blood pressure. Breathing was strained and I couldn't make it up a set of stairs without becoming winded. I was eating 20-30 ibuprofen a day for joint and back pain. By November, ...

I started my weight loss journey in February 2016. My 52nd birthday rolled around and I was still over-weight. Starting out at 283 lbs. My daughter Jessica started cooking healthy meals for me for about 4 weeks to help keep me get on track. After that my sister DeeDee, and I joined an 8-week kickboxing class (Paul Bowman/No Excuses Ladies Bootcamp). It was here that Paul introduced me to Keto eating. I was amazed at how easy it was to do. But, most of all...I was enjoying what I was eating. I ...

My entire life I have been overweight. When I started the ketogenic diet I was at my all-time high of 270 pounds at 6 feet tall. One morning I bent over to put my shoes on and couldn’t breathe. I decided it was time to make a change. With diabetes and heart trouble running in my family I knew it would have to be a major one. I got some information on keto and decided it was the way to go. I was a full-time college student at the time and working 2 jobs so it was difficult at first but once I ...
