Keto

I've been doing keto 15 months to control migraines - it's magical for that!

I've been gaining weight slowly over the last year, about 35 pounds. I'd lost 60 pounds at one point, so this has been devastating. I tried so many things, but nothing worked. I had a kidney stone last week, and my doctor told me to lower my consumption of animal protein. I mostly ate meat and vegetables, and I rarely eat carbs, so that really only left fat. So, I did an internet search and found Keto. I started right before my birthday, Jan 12th, and I have lost 8 pounds! I do 2,000 calories, 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbs plus lots of water. My legs are less swollen when I get home from work, and I feel incredible. I track every macro and make sure not to fall below my calories, because that will lower your metabolism. I was floored. I got so used to nothing working, that I went into this expecting failure. Losing 8 pounds is nothing short of a miracle for me.
