I've been depressed since I was a child, tried every diet/lifestyle change out there. Went low carb and the depression melted within 3 weeks. I'm so sick of these people calling it a fad, I believe it saved me from inevitable suicide.
In my research , the thing I learned the most never take nutrition advice from the government.
The consistent positive experiences shared here are compelling and offer real hope for those struggling with various health issues. It's time for medical professionals to give keto a more serious look as a therapeutic option.
Been Keto two years, lost 140 lbs, off painkillers for my back, and no longer have hypertension... It is not a diet it is a way of life. I'm 67 years old...
It's inspiring to hear so many success stories! Keto isn't just a diet; it's a lifestyle change that can have profound effects on both physical and mental well-being. It's empowering to see people taking control of their health and challenging conventional wisdom.
People never said a word when I ate cookies, candy, and other junk food, but suddenly they are worried about my diet. Go figure!
So many personal success stories here – it's inspiring to see how keto has helped people reclaim their health, despite the questionable dietary advice we've been given for years. Maybe it's time to question everything we thought we knew about "healthy" eating and listen to our bodies.
For type 2 diabetics like me, keto has been a godsend. Before keto, I was on up to 120 units of Lantus insulin a day, I was seriously overweight, and my kidney function was declining, putting me on a path to be on dialysis in 18 months. After going on keto, I lost weight so that 3 years later, I'm down 65 lbs, back to a weight I hadn't seen since my 20s (I'm 75). My blood sugar also fell and I started coming off insulin. Now I haven't been on insulin for 2 years and my last a1c was 5.6. My kidney numbers also improved, and I'm no longer in danger of going on dialysis. For me, carbs are like nicotine from smoking - they're extremely addictive, but deadly. I had to quit "cold turkey" and commit to not being tempted to eat them any more. Fortunately, my wife is an excellent cook, and makes delicious keto meals every day, so it isn't difficult to stay on this diet.
As a 73 year old lady, it’s the best diet ever. I’ve lost 14lbs in 6 months and feel great since avoiding all the carbs. Wish I’d known about it 50 years ago!
It's amazing how quickly and effortlessly health improves by simply eliminating processed carbohydrates. It's also amazing how much effort has been spent convincing the public that processed carbohydrates are healthy.
When a mainstream sources like this tell you something is bad it’s definitely good for you
I’m down 45lbs from 225lb from keto. I drink lots of water and salt all my foods. It’s been working great and I’ve never put on so much lean muscle
Yes, carbs are great!* *In berries, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumber, peppers, bok choy, avocado, nuts, salad ... I love them!
I’ve only had good results on keto. The worst thing that’s happened is the bad craving for carbs. My skin is bright and smooth. My eyes are brighter. My eye lashes and eyebrows are growing more. My energy levels are amazing! I have been waking up before 11am for the past month (which is huge. Considering I used to sleep in until 2pm -3pm. My depression is a lot better, I don’t feel down in the dumps all the time anymore. My periods are regular, nails are strong and healthy. Lost about 8lbs in the past month or so. It’s great.
I started a week ago. The weight loss is nice (10 lbs. I know, mostly water). But the mental benefits are what keep me motivated to keep going!!!! My mind is clear. I have energy!! And my moods and energy levels are steady. For anyone dealing with a sugar addiction this is an awesome way. It’s turning my life around. I usually give up after 2 days max, but this diet is very doable and it really does make you feel amazing.
Keto with Intermittent fasting is great. No keto flu if you watch your electrolytes particularly potassium and magnesium. I've gone from 335 to 205 in 16 months and feel great.
I don't trust anything a Kardashian swears by
It's inspiring to see so many people finding genuine health improvements and feeling empowered through keto! It's a reminder that personalized nutrition can be incredibly powerful, and we should all advocate for informed choices and listen to our bodies.
I've been eating low carb for years to control my symptoms of anxiety, ADHD and chronic fatigue. I've never felt better, it's like a miracle
