My Journey with Keto and Weight Loss

My journey with weight loss and wellness started just over a year ago. I started this journey by going into the world of raw vegan for detoxing. I was suffering from shortness of breath, being overweight, irritability, severe anxiety and panic attacks, chronic pain and fatigue... this list goes on.

Raw was working and it really helped me in a couple of ways. One: it helped me balance out and detox some of the poisons in my body causing issues. Two: it gave me a real appreciation of food and showed me that i could be disciplined in my eating habits. But... it was BRUTALLY difficult, especially when I was doing this while my family was still eating everything under the sun.

I fell back into unhealthy eating, gained my weight right back, and was feeling bad about myself. One day I woke up (2 weeks ago today actually) and saw this I’m the mirror.

My husband and I had a couple’s boudoir shoot scheduled for 13 days away from the day mentioned above. I didn’t feel sexy, I felt yucky and I wanted to do something about it. Going high raw again, I knew I would see results but not as quickly as I needed them... so I decided to do a keto reboot and to take on the keto lifestyle challenge.

I started with a sixty hour fast. It wasn’t near as difficult as my 43 hour lemon water detox that I did the year prior. It was fairly easy! I instantly saw results.

Now fast forward to yesterday morning. Only two weeks after starting keto and using ketones, and THIS is what I woke up to.

Needless to say, keto and ketones have changed my life. Forever. I feel amazing, I have a ton of energy and nearly all of my health issues are being resolved.

If you want to know more about ketosis and what a keto lifestyle looks like, just ask! I’ve always been on to help others and wouldn’t mind, at all, answering questions and helping YOU become the best version of yourself in wellness.

Here are some of the unedited pics from our shoot, btw:
