‘Turns out the 40s are the best years’

Has exercise helped Crystal lose weight? She doesn’t think so, but she’s become more active as she’s lost weight. Now she enjoys walking with her family and lifting weights with her husband.

Crystal’s top tips

Here are Crystal’s top tips for people starting keto:

1. Write down your reasons for starting and any benefits you reap over time. Remind yourself in tough times. It helps you push through until keto becomes the norm.
2. Plan for the unexpected. Keep appropriate foods at home and cook large batches so you can grab something quickly.
3. Be positive. Focus on all the delicious foods you can eat. If other people see how happy you are with keto, they will pick up on that and become supportive.
