My life changed in 3 months on Keto & IF

When I was younger I had a fast metabolism, I could eat anything and never put on body fat. Then when I was 37 I had a hysterectomy, two years later I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease and have an underactive thyroid so I have been taking Thyroxine every day since. When I hit my 40's and started menopause early, my dress size started slowly creeping up. I have always been into fitness, going to the gym 5 days a week, though I ate pretty healthy, however, I went from the size 8 up to a size 14 to 16. My joints started aching due to Hashimotos and I have arthritis, then last year I was diagnosed pre-diabetic. I had almost conceded this is my life, I will just keep increasing in dress sizes, feel tired all of the time, live with an aching body constantly, end up with type 2 diabetes and a large pillbox as I age. Then 3 and a half months ago, one of Dr. Berg's videos came into my you tube feed. This was totally unexpected as I had never heard of Dr Berg. I watched the video and then subscribed to his channel and just binge-watched his channel. I couldn't believe he was talking about my health issues and that Healthy Keto & IF could help. So I started keto straight away, my husband came on the journey with me, he has his own weight loss story and is super fit now. When I first started keto I was already used to not eating a lot of carbs, so I didn't struggle too much with the transition. Dr. Berg recommends doing Healthy Keto & Intermittent Fasting together, so I started with cutting out my snacks and just having my 3 meals a day. I always thought breakfast was the most important meal of the day, however 2 weeks into Keto I felt ready to cut breakfast out and only eat two meals a day so I fast for 18 hours. My two meals were healthy keto. Following Dr Berg's videos really helped me to understand what to eat. Then around 2 months into starting Keto & IF I was ready to go to one meal a day (OMAD) because I'm just not hungry and one healthy keto meal is all I need. I also drink plenty of water, have a coffee when I wake up, no milk but with MCT oil, that way I don't break my fast. When I first started Keto I did have a bit of an upset tummy but I followed Dr Berg's advice and my tummy settled, it didn't take long at all. Fortunately I haven't struggled with not eating junk food because I love the food I eat on Keto. I also exercise 5 days a week. I do short 15 to 20 minutes intense exercise sessions each day and I love bike riding 5 to 6 days a week. I like to exercise while I am fasting. Keto and IF has completely changed my life. In 3 and a half months I have gone from 73 kgs to 61 kgs. I have dropped dress sizes from a size 14 to 16 down to size 10. I went thrift shopping to buy a new wardrobe when I hit size 10. I still can't believe my transformation. My body hardly aches now, I am not tired when I first wake up and through the day anymore. I have so much energy and feel great. I am looking forward to my next blood test to see if I'm not pre diabetic anymore. I am 50 in 6 months and feel fantastic and am determined to grow older feeling fit and healthy, thanks to my new lifestyle with Keto and IF.
