I’m down 35lbs and counting. While I still have more to lose, I have more energy, I’m happy, I sleep better and I certainly don’t avoid mirrors any longer!

This is actually my 3rd time on the keto diet. I was dedicated the first two times I was on keto, but seeing other people’s quick weight loss success had me perplexed and frustrated. I kept thinking that I must be doing something wrong. Eventually, when my weight didn’t seem to budge after months of trying, I quit. Then, after seeing a photo of myself during Christmas dinner with the family (my before photo) I was in shock at the person I was looking at. I had hit 225lbs, the heaviest I had ever been, and I was miserable. I felt tired all the time, I couldn’t fit into any of my clothes and I avoided mirrors like the plague. I decided it was time to try keto again. So December 28, 2017, I immediately quit sugar and carbs, then set out to do research. That’s when I found Dr. Berg along with several other doctors on YouTube. I knew that having PCOS and hypothyroidism were reasons why I struggled with my weight, but after reading about how my Fat Storing Hormone resistance was keeping me fat, was truly profound. I read as much as I could and watched video after video on Fat Storing Hormone, Fat Storing Hormone resistance, and how to reverse it. After getting fat adapted I started intermittent fasting. First, it was 16:8 and then I went to 20:4, 5 days a week. My weight loss is still slow but it is coming off! I’m down 35lbs and counting. While I still have more to lose, I have more energy, I’m happy, I sleep better and I certainly don’t avoid mirrors any longer!
