The Keto diet is one of the easiest ways of shedding unwanted weight. In addition to weight loss, a person doing  the Keto diet may enjoy other benefits such as decreased levels in blood sugar and insulin, lower blood pressure, less inflammation, and a ton more energy, just to name a few!

For many people, Thanksgiving (celebrated every Novemver in the U.S.) is one of the best holidays in the year. Besides being a time to show gratitude, Thanksgiving is also a time when most people get together with their loved ones.

I've recently realized that i'm not always.  I don't think you should be 100 percent Keto compliant (I personally do lazy Keto most of the time, which just means not tracking), but you should keep a realistic idea of your carb intake.

I love Keto so much! I talk about it all the time: in line at the grocery store,at the dentist's office, at parties,at the liquor store (buying my zero-carb vodka).It doesn't matter where I am,I will talk Keto ALL day long to ANYONE!

Something funny happened on my way to losing 45 pounds living the Keto lifestyle. While my clothes were getting looser, my husband’s were getting tighter! It was a mystery--he wasn't doing Keto, but what was happening?

This has happened to me my entire adult life. Years ago, a friend and I vowed to lose weight together, ("For real this time!" We said.), so we joined a weight loss group. We were pumped! We were ready! We were in it to win it! We ate the same number of calories and the same types of food.

I love stevia. Before stevia and Keto, I was a "double-double" gal (for all my non- Canadian friends, that means I took my coffee with double cream and double sugar). The sweeter the better! Years before I started Keto, I switched to stevia and never looked back. I thought, "Hey, zero calories and zero carbs, perfect!" 

I can’t tell you how many bad days I've had when the scale did not show me the number I was hoping for. Can you relate? If you see that the number has gone down, you're euphoric; but if the number has stayed the same or has gone up, then your whole day is ruined. Sometimes those days can make you wonder why you even try.

Think about this: What happens when we (and I'm including myself here, too) blame others in- stead of taking responsibility for our own words or actions?

 

I was thinking of this song the other day and how it’s really the way I feel about myself since living the Keto lifestyle for the past year. Yes, I am the same person in a lot of ways, but so many things have changed and I am a "new girl" in a lot of ways, mentally and physically.
