How I Found Keto
Since I was 12 I have been chubby. Sometimes over the years I would balloon up to a hefty size. I would then go to a doctor and take pills and shots and lose the weight. It was expensive. And the weight always came back.
This time I really became obese. I didn’t have the money to go to a doctor and I felt that I would be this way until I died.
Then when my husband got sick with diabetes and we searched for a natural way to help him. That is how we discovered the Keto way of eating. We learned everything we could about how to do it and started living the Keto lifestyle.
The weight came off quickly
I love sugar, potatoes, bread, cakes etc. That was why I couldn’t stay on a “diet”, I would always cheat. You can imagine my surprise when I discovered that eating the Keto way kills those horrible cravings that causes you to not be able to stop yourself from eating. That is why it isn’t as hard to stay on the Keto way of eating.
So after 7 months and 65 lbs. later, I have a few things you should know if you want the same success I have had.
When this picture was taken I had lost 50 pounds. I have since gone on to lose 65 pounds but I have given away my large size pants so don’t have a new picture.
12 Tips and Tricks to help your Weightloss
1. To know if you’re really ready to lose the weight go to this page and read all about the Lakhovsky Coil. Then make one up. It will do three things: Kill the pain over your whole body, relieve any stiffness you may have and will even-out your moods. If you go to the trouble to go get the stuff and make one of these up, then you will know you really want to take the weight off.
2. Study and read everything you can about Keto. I learned most of what I found out from YouTube, there are some really good videos, some done by doctors. You can also read about my journey here.
3. Find some way to take Apple Cider Vinegar. Taking it 3 times a day will make all the difference in the world about how much you lose and how quickly. I put just a tablespoon in about a half cup of water and drink it down quickly. It taste awful at first but then gets easier to take. You can read about the benefits I got from here. Also, there is a lot of info about Apple Cider Vinegar on the web.
4. It helps to get some kind of exercise. I dance, but I started after having lost about 45 lbs. I can remember Richard Simmons (the 60’s exercise guru) saying that if you can’t get up and exercise or go walking, just sit in your chain and get the arms moving. The rest will come later. This is how I do my dancing.
5. Remember, Keto way of eating kills your appetite and the “horrible” cravings. But you will still look at something and want to have it. The difference is that you will be able to say “no” and will mostly pass it up. If you do feel like you just have to have it, take just “one bite”, no more. If you know you can have the one bite you won’t feel as deprived.
6. Let’s talk about intermittent fasting. Intermittent fasting really helps to burn up the fat and keep your body looking good during and after you have lost the weight. It promotes HGH (human growth hormone) which is what the body uses to keep you younger looking. To find out how I intermittent fast you can read about it here.
7. Weighting and measuring yourself is a must. Some people feel that you should weight only once a week but I weigh and measure every day. I don’t want to wait a week to find out if I’m doing something wrong. You can read about how I cheat, to help keep me motivated, at weighting and measuring here.
8. Don’t listen to all the negative people around you. They will come up with every excuse in the world, why you shouldn’t be doing this. Just study more and become educated and just nod and smile at them, and don’t try and argue with them, just go on living your life how you want to. I have a website relationshipproblemshelp.org to help you get your mind in the right place.
9. One trick I do that seems to make a difference, is that I say in my mind that I have lost X amount of pounds (as if I’m saying it to someone else). Right now I’m saying, “I’ve lost 75 pounds” a few times a day. I keep the goal within 10 pounds.
10. I talk in my blog about the “Money Honey” which you can read about here. It helped me a lot to get motivated but it is up to you whether you want to go that route or not.
11. Just recently, over the past month, I found out about Fenugreek Seeds. They contain, according to the USDA, a variety of beneficial nutrients, including iron, magnesium, manganese, and copper, as well as vitamin B6, protein, and dietary fiber. It also contains antioxidants, powerful phytonutrients, including choline, trigonelline, yamogenin, gitogenin, diosgenin, tigogenin, and neotigogens. Most of the health benefits of fenugreek are due to the presence of saponins and fibers in it. What does that mean for you? Fenugreek Seeds are helping my husband with getting his hair to grow back and mine becoming much thicker. They help the nails to grow longer and stronger. The seeds have hormones in them and will help your body to look younger. You can read about what they have done for me here.
12. So that’s it! If you follow what I have done you too will be able to say I have lost 75 pounds or more too!
