WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED WITH YOUR HEALTH SINCE YOU STARTED WITH KETO?

I had endometriosis which is now non-symptomatic. My periods are lighter and shorter with little to no pain! I always had severe bloating, which I never have now. My skin is completely different: it’s clear and spot free!

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED WITH YOUR BODY SINCE YOU STARTED WITH KETO?

Much more energy. My body has completely changed shape. I actually have a waist for the first time in my adult life. My face is not puffy at all, and I don’t look pregnant anymore!

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED WITH YOUR MIND SINCE YOU STARTED WITH KETO?

My relationship with food has completely changed. Before I was an emotional eater and would eat my feelings which resulted in massive binges of carb loaded, terrible food choices! Now I see food as fuel and only eat when I’m hungry (which is a LOT less often), rather than out of boredom. I feel clearer and less hazy since keto! Since my husband and I changed to a keto lifestyle, we argue hardly ever!! Definitely never imagined that as a side effect, but it’s definitely something we have both noticed!!

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED IN YOUR LIFESTYLE SINCE YOU STARTED
I go to the gym and do a physio programme most days. I find being proactive is something that comes much more easily now rather than procrastinating, which is something I used to do a lot!!
