2.5 Months on Keto: A Busy Mom’s Life-Changing Health Turnaround

How did you discover keto? 

My mom, who is diabetic and was trying to come off Fat Storing Hormone, sent me a video of Dr. Berg explaining Fat Storing Hormone resistance. As I was trying to help her, I kept hearing him mention this keto diet, and I kept thinking, “What in the world is this diet?”

So, I became obsessed with learning from Dr. Berg, and that’s when I decided I needed to do this for myself.

Did you have any problems with your weight or health before going on keto?  

At age 28, I began to feel sick every single week. I would start shaking, and a lot of times my vision would go black and I would lose balance — and I had no idea why.

My blood pressure would spike to the 160s, I had migraines every week, and I had acid reflux along with a lot of stomach pain — so much that it would keep me up at night.

How has your health improved since you started keto?  

I no longer have any of those symptoms — I mean, they literally went away!

I’m as healthy as I’ve ever been, my hormonal levels are changing, and this even reflects in my menstrual cycle — it’s crazy, but a good kind of crazy, lol.

I’ve only been on the ketogenic diet for 2.5 months, and that is what the photos reflect — I’m not done yet. I’ve lost 26 lbs so far and I feel great!

I mean, not only with how I’m looking on the outside, but I feel great health-wise.

How does an average day of eating/fasting look for you on keto?  

I can fast for long hours without feeling hungry, and the diet itself made my life easier because I’m a busy mom, and I don’t have time to be thinking about eating six times a day!

Any other details you want to share?   

I will never go back to eating refined carbs, gluten, sugar, and all the other junk ever again!

By the way, my husband loves to garden and raise chickens, which I HATED with all my being — and now that I’m educated, I actually love it and can appreciate all he does.
