Keto guide intermittent fasting (Page 5)

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’ve always been the fat kid and have struggled with my weight my entire life. It wasn't until I started to get really serious with Crossfit and a lower-carbohydrate existence that I started to actually transform not just my body, but my mindset as well.

I now weigh 260lbs, no longer have diabetes and am off all medications. I read everything I could find on keto on the internet, made it a goal to read 1 keto-related article a week to increase my understanding. I kept small goals - in the beginning, it was to lose 5lbs a month, walk around the block without getting winded when ...

I'm a 74 year old woman who started this lifestyle about 18 months ago after watching a TEDx talk by Dr. Sarah Hallberg on reversing diabetes by breaking the rules. At that time I weighed between 185 and 190 pounds and I'm 5'6". Although not diagnosed with diabetes, my blood sugars were high and I was likely insulin resistant. I also had some other health issues - arthritis in my foot for which I was taking over 1000 mg of naproxen for pain and irritable bowel syndrome. Since starting my weight ...
