I’m curious to know how people here discovered the keto WOE and this forum.
I was at my lowest point emotionally - and highest weight physically. Several years before, our courier at work lost probably 70 lbs. He and his wife (she had lost 45) were doing HFLC and measuring ketones with pee sticks. I tried it and I lost a few pounds, but my pee sticks kept indicating that I wasn’t in ketosis, so I figured it was another gimmick and gave up. After I reached my highest weight, I prayed earnestly (something I didn’t do very often then), and I saw a random success story on yahoo news about how someone had lost like 100 lbs. on “keto.” Somehow that led me to discover dietdoctor.com, simplyketo and this forum. I really knew absolutely nothing about it, but I read a lot, lurked here for several weeks, asked a lot of questions and jumped in. People were so helpful and supportive! That was the beginning of my new life. I really haven’t looked back. For me, keto has been a way of eating that I can sustain because we can eat such satisfying and delicious food, without eating food I don’t like or ever feeling hungry. I don’t cheat because I don’t want to jeopardize this miracle I have experienced. It was my deliverance and I just have to follow the path.
