It Begins
I started Keto about 2 months ago and have already lost 20 lbs. Well, I just gained 2 back because I went on vacation and splurged a little, but now I'm back to my new lifestyle.
This is the EASIEST diet I have ever been on. And I shouldn't call it a diet. It is simply a different way of eating. I thought I would never make it on this plan. I mean, no sugar?? Really? Impossible! But, what I have found is that the fats I eat satiate me to the point that I don't even miss sugar. I never would have believed it.
It does help that my husband is on the plan with me. In fact, it was his idea. I never would have even tried it - I mean, again, no sugar??? - but we had both gained so much weight we needed to do something. He researched a lot of different plans and decided he wanted to do Keto. I figured, why not? I needed to do something, and having a partner should help. So I did!
I had lost 25 lbs several years ago on a conventional diet. And like all diets I tried before, it took forever to get it off, with lots of work, pain, and deprivation. Guess what happened? It came back with more (as has happened with every diet I have done over the years).
Keto is different. It's not hard. It's not deprivation. Some of the meals I eat are downright decadent! I'm never hungry, and the weight is just peeling off.
I should also mention, I'm over 50 years old, which makes this even more amazing.
So this blog will be a log of my successes and failures and thoughts. I'll share recipes, my ups and downs so that hopefully, you too, can be inspired to try Keto!
