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. Saw 1 Instagram post about losing 8 lbs in a week on this keto way of eating. Never heard of it. Researched and jumped in head, feet, ...

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 ...

On February 1st, I will be exactly one year into my Keto way of life. In that time, I have lost 83 lbs. although that is something to celebrate by itself, I also accomplished other things. I was a type 2 diabetic when I started this journey and now have completely been able to give up my Metformin as well as my twice daily insulin shots. I have also gone off my blood pressure meds as well as my statins and antidepressant. I have gone from absolutely no energy to days filled with everything ...

I am 60 years old and I have been overweight all of my adult life. I have tried a lot of the same things that most folks try to lose weight and ended up in a vicious circle of dieting. Eventually, I was morbidly obese at about 380 pounds (6'2" tall). In early 2016 I was at about 355 pounds and fell hard in our living room in the middle of the night and had to crawl on bad knees to the couch so I could get up. That was the last straw and I told my wife in the morning that I was going to lose ...

Down 80 lbs since discovering keto and ruled.me. Keto helped me go from a life of being obese to finally hitting the “normal” category for weight. I literally am the weight I was in 5th grade. FIFTH! I’ve been overweight my entire life! Not only have I lost the weight, but I have found huge relief from joint issues and burning pain that used to be my morning norm. No longer! I was able to sustain a lower-carb diet all through my last and final pregnancy and it was the easiest pregnancy ...

In September 2017 I weighed 242 pounds, and I was very unhealthy, depressed, and emotionally miserable. I had tried and failed to lose weight many times - every attempt left me hungry and exhausted, so I always gave up. I stumbled across the ketogenic diet and decided that I could either stay miserable or give it a try and even if it failed I was already as unhappy as I could possibly be. To my absolute surprise, keto changed my life in every way possible. It was sustainable, energizing, and ...
