Babystep keto for a newbie friend

#1

Hi all,
My friend has requested that I coach her how to lose weight, I think she might be suffering from some hormone stuff, and her current lifestyle is not ideal (lots of carbs and processed sugar…). I don’t think having her jump in the keto pool would be a good idea, should I recommend a paleo-ish diet first? Shes 40 and about 20 lbs overweight, hair-loss, lack of energy etc…
Thanks for any feedback!

Well, I think you could show her the keto door and then she can decide whether to walk through it or not. Since she’s your friend, she’s probably seen your success and wants in. The biggest hurdle is getting over carb withdraw, but with you there, she should have enough support. If she’s worried that she might be too old, I posted a 70+ year old woman do it successfully.
