Category: Weight Loss

I have something to tell you and I am warning you that you are not going to like it. This is something I learned last summer and probably read about long before that, but I stuck my fingers in my ears while screaming “la, la, la – 1-2-3, not it!” Ok, so I did not literally scream out loud. My four year old who jumps, kicks and shrieks for a living would have looked at me like I was nuts, but you get the idea. I read it, I checked my results in the mirror and I smugly said to myself, nope, nope, nope. Continue reading “My Dear Stevia Letter”

Living My Passion By Helping Others:

If you have read any of my previous blogs or watched any of my videos, hopefully you have witnessed my passion for helping others improve chronic health conditions, while leaving behind diet mentality and taking excess weight off for good. I have always been passionate about health and weight loss because I have always struggled with health and weight loss….ever since I was a little girl. Except I was never really that little.

I almost began this blog with an expletive. I decided I am not that type of girl. Typically I am calm, relaxed, poised, positive – I am really a go with the flow kind of girl. Always have been, always will be. At least until some complete stranger tells me I am wrong about how I got my results because of, you know, science. This makes me angry. This makes me want to scream, “Shut the $*@& up about science already!” But I don’t, because I am a lady. Just know my thoughts are not very ladylike when you preach about science.

Recently I have received several distraught messages from various people stating they are doing everything right with their ketogenic diet, but their weight loss has either stalled or reversed directions. They send me their food logs…their measly, scrappy food logs filled with dry chicken breasts and iceberg salad combos with barely a lick of salad dressing. When I ask them where’s the fat, they insist someone in the keto boards told them to not eat fat so they can burn their own body fat.

I have been eating, breathing and living diet trends for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to reach that mystical diet utopia where I looked good in a bikini and could still throw down my beloved chicken tenders and fries on the regular. I desperately needed to get rid of the maternity bathing suit I was holding onto “just in case” for good. It took far too much time and far too much effort, but better late to the low carb party than never, I suppose. I finally discovered the piece of the puzzle I was missing all along.

If you ask, you shall receive. Well, this time anyway.

When I posted my recent comparison photos, quite a few people asked me what I eat. Fat. I eat lot of fat, silly people. But I guess that is not specific enough. I went back to basics and logged my food EVERYDAY for two entire weeks.

Keto. Like it or not, keto is a four letter word. See k-e-t-o. Now that we had our morning math, we can move along. Like most four letter words, you can use the term keto when you are ecstatic as f#+& or when you are as angry as $&!+. Some people absolutely love keto and all of the awesome health benefits it provides. Others speak of it as yet another demon fad diet that is sure to end this new civilization that is drowning itself in coconut oil. Those people, I can assure you, either want to keep you sick in order to keep their pockets full, or they tried keto and did it wrong.
