I have yo yo dieted for many years, and boy do I love a great competition. So I would join as many weight loss competitions as there were and I won a few, only to gain the weight back! Then my health started to suffer, GI issues, heart arrhythmia, and I needed to get a hysterectomy. I gained lots of weight. At my highest weight ever I blamed my gain on my health issues, when all along my health issues were a product of the weight I had gained. I found every time I lost weight I limited carbs, ...

So yesterday marked a pretty awesome NSV. I've been living a keto lifestyle for a year and a half. In that time I've had countless improvements in my health. I've lost over 100 pounds. I've cured my sleep apnea and haven't used a cpap machine in a year. I've shrunk my waistline by 10 inches from a 42 to a 32. Found my energy and focus improved. Taken my blood pressure from life threatening levels to completely normal. Gained more control over my mental health. Improved ...

My weight loss story started back when I was probably 13 and my mother took me to Gloria Stevens (weight loss salon) and they would shake maracas when you weighed in if you lost weight and the whole place would clap for you. It was like a circuit exercise salon I guess is the best way to put it. I went to Diet Center when I was in high school and went down to 144lbs. before graduation. Then, a few years later I joined Weight Watchers for the second or third time to lose weight for my ...

1 and a half years ago we gave up on having kids. We did 3 rounds of IVF, it turned out I have PCOS and my body was in full protest of all the hormonal injections. I already was overweight, but after IVF I weighed over 250lbs. I got depressed I wanted to make a huge change. So I turned to keto. Within a few months I was no longer depressed and I saw the change in my body. It was after I lost more than 60lbs that my body really started to look different. Now I've lost a 100lbs, still keto, ...

I’ve struggled with my weight my whole life, but I was my biggest (over 200lbs) after having my three amazing boys (singleton and twins). I started Keto for a few months to get ready for a wedding last year and I felt amazing. I had lost 20lbs, but my old eating habits came back. Along with my old eating habits, the depression came back too. I finally dug myself out of the hole I was in and started keto back up for the New Year. I crushed my goals, ran a handful of 5ks, competed in a tough ...

My story began when my wife got pregnant and we had twin girls at the age of 44. I’m a local truck driver who works 10-16 hours a day and had diabetes and high blood pressure. My doctor told me that if I ever wanted to walk my daughters down the isle I would have to lose weight otherwise I wouldn’t live long enough to ever see that happen. I started Keto when I weighed 307lbs 8 months ago and continue to do so till this very day. I no longer have high blood pressure and my diabetes has been ...

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 ...
