Ketogenic Diet Results: Down 40+ Pounds In 4 Months

I have always been a slightly bigger person. Not huge by any means. Just bigger. I was always amongst the bigger kids in my class for example. Just a few extra pounds.
I was active. Hell my friends and I were always outside playing sports or playing in the woods. You know back when kids actually did that kid of thing. As the teen years came along I did slim down somewhat but I remember always being somewhat concerned with my weight and appearance. I had bodybuilding magazines around and longed to look like the men featured on the pages of Muscle and Fitness.
I did get into weight lifting and had many gym memberships over the years but never really stuck with it consistently enough to see any positive changes.
I also need to point out that I may have a level of body dysmorphia and I should probably see a professional about that at some point. I see myself as a huge blob. I hate looking at myself in the mirror and I loathe having my picture taken.
Sound familiar to anyone out there?

Great work Marty.
(Yes, we were 'free range chickens' when we were kids, weren't we? It's sad to see most kids miss out on that - growing up today.)0
