Daisy Lost 78 Pounds in 10 Months with Keto 

Life before keto: 

Daisy Friman’s keto journey began when she found Dr. Berg’s videos during a keto internet search. In January 2018, Friman’s doctor suggested losing weight to help with some of her medical issues. At the time, she weighed 188 pounds (85 kg) at only 5’1″ (155 cm) tall. She had thyroid issues, prediabetes, inflammatory skin conditions, and stomach problems. 

“I have been on multiple antibiotics and medications for my skin since I was 10 years old,” she said. “Those medications did nothing good for my stomach either.” 

Friman also suffered from feminine issues, including hormonal imbalances and more. She was moody and tired and found it difficult even to walk her dogs. These were the things that were making her life tough when she decided to start keto. 

After starting keto: 

In her keto journey, Friman learned about the effects of alcohol on fat burning, which was a major takeaway from Dr. Berg’s YouTube videos. She also took it as a blessing that she didn’t have to eat five to eight times a day to lose weight. 

Challenges: 

“I did not have any support at first. In fact, many people were against this,” she said. “Many laughed, others got mad, and one even screamed to my face that ‘keto is sick.’ I found my keto family on Facebook later.” 

Other people’s attitudes toward keto were the hardest part for Friman. Yet every day on keto, she felt better and her skin improved. She began to have a “light feeling.” 

Health improvements: 

In ten months, Friman lost 78 pounds (35 kg), which was her weight-loss goal to begin with. “I feel amazing,” she said. “My sugars, and other values are normal now. I actually like sports and have so much more energy.” 

“The only thing I would do differently is take more before pictures!” she said. 

Favorite way to exercise:  

“I have started to train for a half-marathon,” said Friman. “I fell in love with running.”
