The Ketogenic lifestyle may be something new to some, but it's been around for at least the last 100 years! Our ancestors ate a high fat diets of butter and meat, intermittent fasted, and were often in ketosis. The availability and types of foods have changed drastically the last 50-100 years as we moved into a highly processed grain and sugar society. Suddenly we found ourselves in Drs offices with a slew of maladies that appeared suspiciously just as our our diets changed.
I was a processed carb lover who ate pasta almost daily, juice was an essential nutrient, and loved a low-fat fridge. Over the last 10 years I gain 100 pounds thinking I was doing everything right. Then Nov 25th came and I injured myself responding to an emergency at work and was unable to return to work still to this day. I went to the Dr to get checked out while I was there they did a routine work up as well. When the results came back it was like a slap in the face from Mike Tyson, they said I was morbidly overweight at 297, PreDiabetic with high blood pressure and Cholesteral, I said to myself that I had to do something ASAP! Thankfully, a good friend and mentor introduced me to and I was blown the Keto Life. I jumped right in with both feet, thankfully with the support of my family, and continued to research the lifestyle as I made changes to what was in our kitchen. My meals now focus on a native diet with an emphasis on low carb, high fat. The result? 12 weeks into my journey I have lost 35 pounds my blood pressure is down 40 points , my cholesterol is normal I am no longer prediabetic and I have more energy than I have had in 20 years.
The Keto Now For Life page shares my journey to lose a 100lbs while being able to stay home with my kids, cooking real, keto foods, and living life to the fullest!
Keep Calm and Keto On!
