Keto success

My husband and I have been eating this way for just under two months. We switched to Keto because of his prediabetic state and I have fibromyalgia. I'd read that many people find pain relief by eating very low carb diets and I was getting desperate to find some pain relief that didn't involve pills.

As of yesterday, he's lost 18 pounds and I've lost about 12 plus both of us have lost a lot of inches. He lost 3" in his belly alone and gone from a 2xl to a size large! I'm extremely proud of him because he's never been one to watch what he eats but the pre-diabetes diagnosis scared him. I've gone from a snug 12 to a loose 10. My result so far with weight loss aren't as dramatic but my pain level went from a 5-7 (depending on the day) to a 1-2 so that part WAS dramatic! I can now do jiu jitsu, kickboxing and weight lifting and enjoy it because I'm not in pain and my recovery time is so much faster!

It's not magic, we tend to take in a lot fewer calories than we did before but we are both satisfied with the foods we're eating even though the calories are lower. The first couple of weeks are rough though and you need to make sure you're getting plenty of electrolytes or you can go back to feeling crappy even if it's been a few weeks.

Life long eating regimen? For us, most likely, yes. We may up the carbs a little bit after we're at goal or if our jiu jitsu and other sports suffer but it will likely still be low carb with targeted carbs for athletic performance.

Decided to try it too because of my insulin resistance and i am losing inches and pounds.I am never hungry and my energy levels are up so it is definitely working out for me.
