THREE REASONS WHY I EAT KETO, FOLLOW ALONG ON MY KETO JOURNEY.
If you have been following me, you might be curious why I eat keto...or maybe you aren’t but I’m gonna share my keto story anyway. Although I did lose 30-40 pounds eating a keto diet, this isn’t just a typical weight loss story. I also eat a keto diet for energy and because the keto diet is anti inflammatory.
A few months after beginning a ketogenic diet, I noticed I could think clearer and had better mental focus. My joints didn’t ache as much as the inflammation in my joints and tissues started to decrease. There are many benefits of the keto diet besides weight loss. I now eat keto for inflammation, mental focus and energy.
If you want to hear how keto works for me, then watch this video!
It’s holiday time, so I thought I would combine my love keto and Christmas and do a KETO VLOGMAS! This month, my goal is to publish a keto holiday related video with you everyday leading up to December 25th. I plan to share keto holiday recipes, keto gift giving ideas, and tips for surviving the holidays when you live a ketogenic lifestyle.

Keto totally changed my life. I had congestive heart failure and diabetes, I weighed 270lbs. I combined keto and intermittent fasting and lost 90lbs, I am no longer diabetic and my heart function is perfectly normal. I need keto and honestly I need your videos because your cooking knowledge is better equipping me to cook delicious keto foods for my grandmother and myself.

I started for weight loss, but after losing the weight I’ve stuck with it to become a morning person! I’ve always hated mornings, but when in ketosis I wake up early and ready for the day! I have energy all day and enjoy the food and the clear thinking. So glad I found this. Wishing you continued success.

I have been keto for 1 week. I found your channel Annie a few weeks ago when I was doing research and you are a big reason I felt I could do this. I'm type 2 diabetic and have a 6 by pass two years ago and within months all the arteries failed. I have one stint in and that's all the surgeon could open and diagnosed with congestive heart failure. My PCP talked about ketogenic and carbs and now I'm on this journey to get as healthy as I can possibly be. Thank you for all you do.

Congrats on your weight loss. Loved hearing your story (and love your recipes too!). I am 59 and have been on keto for over two years. I went from 177 to 124 pounds. Diet and exercise did NOT work for me but keto did. I am not only thinner than I was in high school, but all the aches and inflammation are gone. I rarely nap, and my energy level is so much better. I will be 60 in a few months, but I am keto for life!

My story: I'd heard of keto for years and knew people who lost a LOT of weight with it, but I had a lot of misconceptions about it. My doctor had been encouraging me to do it for about 3 years, but I was convinced it was unhealthy. My mom is Type 2 Diabetic, and after years of meds and insulin has developed kidney disease. Having a new diagnosis of Type 2 (I've been pre-diabetic for 12 years) really made me take a hard look at my future - I didn't want to end up like my mom. So I began searching for a better way to take care of myself. I came across Ben Bickman and his KZfaq video The Plagues of Prosperity. After watching it, I knew I had to tackle my insulin. So, I decided to give keto a try for 1 solid month and see what happened. Turns out, I love how I feel, I've lost weight, and I'm waiting for the results of my lab work after 3 months on it! I love this! The first month had its ups and downs, but I feel so much better than ever. My tastes have changed. Now I crave veggies, protein and fat. Your channel played a huge part in my success- I can have the foods I've always loved, yet stay low carb and keep my family of teenagers happy at the same time! Thank you so much for the work you do. It's invaluable!!!!🥰

Hi Annie, I began Keto on December 7, 2018. I was about 40 lbs over weight. My adult daughter was battling STAGE IV colon cancer and lovingly exhorted me to take care of myself. I battled my weight for over 40 years trying every diet out there. None provided a livable solution, until I found Keto. I’ve lost the 40 lbs and continued eating Keto. I find my weight creeps up because of my lack of focus on macros. However, once i adjust my eating my weight and burning fat resolves. Since finding your channel I’ve enjoyed the breadth of your recipes and love the idea of prepping meals. I have to try more. Thanks so much for helping me on my journey. I love you winsome delivery, knowledge, and practical explanation of making complex instructions simple. Blessings.

I feel so much better when I am paying attention to what I put in my body, and I think my body likes it. I plan to make this time stick. Love cooking keto. I loved the part where you said you like taking photos of your food. I have been wanting to learn to take great photos and was/is very intimidating using the camera. So one day I woke up and said I can start doing my keto baking and take photo...a way to use my camera all the time. I did buy a few books on taking photos of food. Thank you

I started eating keto/low carb almost six months ago. I did it because I saw numerous videos that convinced me my inflammation and joint pain was because of the carbs I was consuming. Almost all the pain is gone. My labs have improved. I rarely need allergy meds anymore. I need less sleep and wake up refreshed and rested. I used to live on Tums because of nausea after meals. That doesn’t happen anymore. I’ve gone down 4 clothing sizes & so far I’ve lost close to 60 lbs. I also love cooking low carb meals, creating keto-friendly versions of recipes, & taking photos of my food. 😊

I really enjoy your channel! And thank you for telling us your story, it helps to motivate me. I started on Keto for weight loss, like you I was so addicted to carbs, I felt sluggish, I was having gastric issues and I simply wanted to be more healthy. I started following several face book groups and a few you tube channels. I started my journey last July, I wanted to get some weight off for my sons wedding in December, I’m over 40 lbs down, I feel better than I’ve felt in a long time. I’m 52 years old and I was having a lot of joint issues, skin issues, sleep problems, since doing Keto I’ve noticed I sleep better, my skin is much clearer and young er looking, I have no pain in my joints. I did cheat for Easter, I had way too many carbs and I felt horrible, I honestly could not wait to get back on my Keto diet, it reminded me really quick how bad I felt for all those years. I’m in a stall now, I want to get another 15 lbs off but I can’t seem to get there, hopefully I will soon! I’m just thankful to over 40 lbs less and feeling much better.

November 2020, my A1C was 6.5 and I lowered it to 6.0, by Feb 2021. I did it by walking 30 min 6 days a week( broke it down to walking 10 min after each meal), I cut out sugar and lowered carbs to 90 grams a day. I’ve lost 40 lbs too! Since I’ve been researching keto it’s opened my eyes to know this is what I must do for the rest of my life. Thank you for your great food ideas! I know I can be successful from here on out!

I was/am looking down the barrel of knee replacement surgery and was/am desperate not to have the surgery done. The surgeon sent me to a physio who, besides giving me exercises, did not pull his punches about how imperative it was to lose weight. At this I sunk into a depression and hubby suggested I might find hypnotherapy useful to get my eating under control (I had successfully used hypnotherapy for a few things in the past). It was the hypnotherapist that suggested keto. Oh boy, it has only been 4 weeks but I am loving it. My mindset has changed, I am loving the food and not missing the carbs one bit as everything else I am making is so great. I still have a Looooooong way to go on the weight loss, but if I can delay that knee replacement surgery by even one year then I am going to stick to this diet for the rest of my life.

I had a stressful job, hypertension, pre-diabetes, insulin resistance, joint pain, swollen legs and adult acne. Severe Bell's Palsy (from a hypertensive crisis) at age 60 helped me realize I had to change my lifestyle. Retiring early from the stressful job did not result in any improvement. Keto helped me lose from 270 down to 165 pounds, was able to ditch the blood pressure meds, swelling disappeared, skin cleared up and insulin resistance improved. After the first 75 pounds I was able to start a walking program again. I have slowly regained about 20 pounds by going low-carb from keto but I remain active and still feel good. While I still have a few occasional aches and pains, my life has improved greatly and I feel better at age 67 than I did for the previous 30 years

I knew about keto for a long time and sort of tried it before, but back in time wasn't many recipes out there or just very twisted/resticted ones that I didn't enjoy cooking/eating, but your channel looks really interesting. It really got me when you mentioned that keto is an anti-inflammatory diet, because I recently got diagnosed with endometriosis and from what I understood it's a hormonal based, inflammatory disease (plus much more...). So it actually makes me wonder if getting on keto properly would improve this condition. Anyway, thanks for sharing your story!

My journey with keto started with my three day episode with a migraine. I have had migraines since I was 15, however they weren't as severe as this last one. No matter what pills, tea, no chocolate... they would come back. As I got older it seems harder to recover from them. So when I was in bed with this last episode, I had enough. So I watched a few videos about migraines correlated to inflammation and that led me to keto. In four days it will be one month . But it this short amount of time I have seen differences in mental, emotional, and physical state that I can't see how I lived with bearing the pain inside of me for so long. Thank you. Sorry so long, but you asked for a story and this is mine. Thank you for you. You made it easier for me to prepare good food.

Very interesting for sure.👍 Hey get this, my triglycerides were 703 about ten years ago. Reduced my weight by 35 lbs. Oh and my stupid doctor said my total cholesterol was too high three ago. BTW the triglycerides are now between 70-80...I like the Undoctored book by William Davis.

I stumbled into Keto. July 2021 I was diagnosed with diabetes at the emergency room. To manage my blood sugar I began focusing on low glycemic foods and found the Keto lifestyle was easy and had lots of options. I manage my insulin easier with these food options.

You all on keto in the comments are so strong. 🥺 Been having a rough beginning on low carb and wondering if I'm even doing it right or if it's not for me. All I hear are good things so I'm going to try my best to stick it out!

How do you keep away the keto bad breath? I tried keto for a day and already I could smell it coming through my skin. Any ideas? Also have you heard of someone trying keto and their blood sugar spiked up? Not on dbx meds. Thanks! 💖 your videos!

I started because for about 2 years I have been telling my husband who is type 2 disabilities that we need to get healthy. Finally after 2 years he did his research and wantes to do it. We are just 62 days. We have listed 18pounds each. But we have gain so much energy. We ate good just had to learn to take out carbs which was easier then we thought

I have been on keto for one month I have only lost four lbs. We mostly did this to get of sugar and carbs, we do fasting till noon which we find very easy. I want to stay on keto for life but we really have eaten very well (healthy) so I wonder if that is why the weight is slow because of not much change except the sugar and carbs. I love your site it’s so informative and great recipes I have been using them my husband loves your pecan mug cake(makes them himself. Thank You ❤ We live in New Brunswick, Canada.

How much do you want to lose a month???? 4lbs is pretty good and healthy. You don't wanna lose a huge amount of weight in a short period of time. Keep it slow and consistent.

I started my journey on keto a couple of years a ago. I was about 220 struggled on it. And I thought being on keto wasn’t safe because I’m on thyroid meds. Can you tell me is being on thyroid meds alright on keto? Thank you for vedio’s.. I’ll have to look for those un buns at Walmart.

Hello. I have been on the keto diet for over 5 weeks, lost 2 pounds so far. Don’t know why my body is taking so long to drop more weight. I have not gone off the diet at all. I feel like I look better in the mirror, but not on the scale. I will keep going…

How long can you stay on keto? One thing I've realized is how devastating sugar/carbs are. It's a drug, a terrible drug that's so damn difficult to get away from; sugar is in everything now a days. Had that keto flu, it's more like rehab and withdrawal.

I eat a combination of keto, carnivore and omad right now. The majority of my foods is carnivore but it's hard to eat that way when I run keto recipe website and develop recipes for other keto food companies. Doing the combination works best for my lifestyle right now. 😀

I find Keto to be very difficult. I tried it for years and all the "alternative" ingredients never taste as good as real wheat products. Almond flour never seems to have the right texture or taste. I wish I liked Keto. I believe it DOES make you feel better and lose weight, but if it doesn't taste good to me, I won't eat it. What do I do?
