Dawn was unhappy with how she looked and felt. Having tried lots of different diets without success she finally found the keto diet and decided to give it a shot. This is what happened:
Dawn’s story has been lightly edited for clarity.
Keto has changed my life drastically and only for the better. Mom of two boys, I was so unhappy with the way I looked and felt in clothes. I always wore sweaters or something to cover my stomach.
As I surfed the web, keto kept popping up, and my sister also mentioned it to me with someone else’s success story. I have to admit; I wasn’t easily persuaded. This way of eating looked too complicated, and I didn’t want to take the time to read up on it or make complex recipes. But I also had a reality check and knew something had to give. I had tried all types of diet pills and eating better, and nothing stuck or helped.
I started keto completely on March 1, 2018, using dietdoctor.com as well as following others on social media — it took a while to make sure I was getting it all right, I didn’t start tracking macros until April, and boom I hit ketosis! It was like magic started happening! Now through a pretty strict way of eating with a few bumps in the road (we’re human, right?) I’ve lost 85 lbs (39 kg)! I started at 245 (111 kg) and now weigh 160 (73 kg)! From a size 22 to 8! I still have more I want to lose and maintain this keto life for the long run!!!Thanks to keto, I now coach others who want to join this journey! And working on expanding service to tell everyone about keto!
