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 ...

Soon after graduating high school, as a freshman in college, I met a guy; who today is my Husband of 14 years. In the early years of dating, he introduced me to things that I never ate growing up; like McDonald’s, Arby’s and a “meat” substance called SPAM. We ate out most nights and ate whatever we wanted. The only unfortunate thing is all this eating didn’t really affect him, because being in the military he was required to work out and maintain a maximum weight. But of course, very quickly ...

I started exercising and "dieting" at the beginning of Feb 2015. Starting weight right around 270 lbs. 21 Day Fix, T25, Turbo Fire. Hyped! Lost 36 pounds over the year. Great, great feeling. 2016. Gained a few back. Still exercising. Started running. Pretty much nothing else happened weight, size-wise the entire year. Bring on 2017. Started year around 240 lbs.

I had years of stomach issues a friend at work said she did too and Keto solved the issues...I rolled my eyes only to go to my gastrologist the following Monday to hear her say Sue I want you to try Keto. The rest is history. I am her spokesperson and living proof it does work. Medication free and 85 lbs less in one year! She had tears...me too :) 1. What tactics did you employ to help you get to your goal? The first thing I did when I started was to take several trash bags and ...

I started doing Keto diet after hearing Joe Rogan talking about on his podcast. So I did some research on how to go about learning the Keto way of eating. It was a very easy way of eating and very satisfying for me. It has worked amazingly and been the best thing I have ever done. I have tried so many other diets with no success but Keto was this amazing method to change my life around. I started October 6 2015 I was 610 pounds. I am now 251 pounds. 1. What tactics did you employ ...

After nearly 4 years clean from drugs and alcohol, I had switched addictions to food and put on around 200 lbs. In the end, I weighed just north of 400 pounds and was facing bariatric surgery, when I had this sort of breakthrough epiphany (after a dark moment of suicidal depression, and a few weeks later this chance encounter with a beautiful female friend from high school) where I realized that I was in control of my life; I was the one who got myself into this situation, and therefore could be ...
