It's my keto-versary!

macchiatto · November 2016

One year ago today, I started keto. I owe a huge thank you to everyone in this group as you've been a wonderful source of support and advice over the past year.

Highlights of my keto experience:
* Down 17 lbs and 2 clothing sizes since last 11/2.
* Been in maintenance since March. After experimenting with higher carb levels (still within LCHF) and bouncing back up a few lbs, I came back to keto and am much happier here!
* Won my Transformer DietBet last March.

That's what first got me desperate enough to try keto, but I ended up being very happy I did because of all the other benefits besides weight loss!
* Reduced hunger and carb cravings.
* Dramatically reduced joint pain.
* Reduced acid reflux (able to go off my prilosec) and other GI issues.
* Improved memory and mental clarity.
* Great blood work!

And these are a repeat, but my before and after weight loss pics. (The "befores" were taken a couple months before I started keto but I had only lost 3 lbs during that time.)
