I LOVE KETO!
As of this morning, I’m down 30 pounds! THIRTY pounds. Gone! I think my son weighed 30 pounds when he was 3 or 4. I just think of all that extra pressure I was putting on my body by carrying that extra weight all day, every day. I have to thank it all on the Ketogenic Way of Eating. It has been a life-changer for me. For reference, I am 5′ 7″ and 44 years old. I’ve gone from a L/XL in shirts and dresses to a SMALL and from a size 16 Levi’s to a size 8 Levi’s!
I started this journey on July 2, 2018, and have traveled on vacation, visited Disney twice, and have not had a cheat day. 13 weeks and 30 pounds later I can tell you that this WOE works. I feel like I’m always full and after the first few weeks, there were no sugar/carb cravings at all. I don’t miss bread and I was never a chip person. Sometimes I miss ice cream, but I’ve found some alternatives and I say that I like the way I feel more than I’ll ever like ice cream.
Here is my daily log from Carb Manager, what I use to track my daily macros and make sure I stay on track for the keto way of eating.
