Anja Frans|My keto journey
By: Anja Frans
At the age of 43, I was 110 pounds overweight, tired all the time, had type 2 diabetes for over 20 years, took 9 pills a day for diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure, and needed insulin shots for the past 9 years. Needless to say, I wasn’t healthy, feeling good, or feeling beautiful.
In October 2020, I had an appointment with my endocrinologist and he said the blood results were worse than ever and we probably had to increase the medication. I came home crying because I didn’t want to do that. I googled “ can I cure type 2 diabetes” and got a lot of results about keto. I started reading everything I could find and started.
After one week, I already had to lower my insulin and noticed my body was starting to change. At first, I lost inches and then the weight followed. After a few weeks, I wasn’t as hungry anymore and the constant cravings were gone. I started feeling better and more energetic and my skin even looked better.
After 11 months, I lost 110 pounds, reversed my type 2 diabetes completely, cholesterol levels and blood pressure are normal and I don’t need any medication anymore. Keto became my new lifestyle and I’m never going back again!
