Keto Lifestyle

Imagine graduating high school at 115 pounds then 20 yrs and 3 kids later ballooning up to 217. That is 102 pounds...WOW! The above picture is my before and after pic in my journey of the low carb lifestyle spanning from May 16 2016 to March 10 2017.

Around April of 2016 I was disgusted. Disgusted with how I felt, how I looked, and how others viewed me. I decided at 42 I needed to do something about it. I first tried the GM Diet. A diet designed for GM employees that was rated a sure way to lose weight. My first week of doing this diet I gained 4 pounds. I was convinced I was doing something wrong so week two I made sure I was without a doubt following it to a T. Guess what? Yes, I gained 2 more additional pounds. I was horrified and pissed I wasted so much money on the foods for this diet to only gain weight. Back to Google I went researching diets. I then decided to give the Military Diet a whirl. If it works for so many enlisted it was sure to work for me. Epic fail. More weight I gained. In this moment of failure I was positive I was destined to be a fatty.
