^^^^ This so much this, I do that all the time. With just two in the household, it takes a while to load up the dishwasher, especially when one of them, me, is usually starting another fast for a few days.

No One Believes I’m 55 years old. I can be a real problem when you’re called a liar LOL. Even my gray hair stopped growing in and I’ve been accused of coloring it. I just took these pictures tonight LOL I’m 116 hours water fasted and getting a little nuts but I’m having a great time.

Brenda,
Hair color from autophagy? I’m a lite faster currently but gray hair in places not growing in my original hair color.
You look great BTW.

Yes. My gray hair stopped growing in. When I first noticed this a few years ago I talked about it in the low carb community not knowing that other people have experienced the same. I suppose it’s possible it’s from improved health and from being on the ketogenic diet but I’m pretty sure it’s from fasting. I’ve been fasting consistently 3 years intermittent extended fasts. There are others in the community who have experienced their gray hair has stopped growing in as well.
Thank you. I’m serious sometimes I look in the mirror and shock myself my health has improved so dramatically! I seriously sometimes don’t recognize myself. And I’ve been doing keto five years and practicing fasting 3!

My 25 year old son’s father told him I was Benjamin Button because I look younger every time he sees me. I said wait for all the fat to go and I’ll be a lined, shriveled old lady. But at least I won’t be starving or achy.

Same here. Once I started fasting my hair started coming back in its original color. Just turned 60 and I don’t dye my hair - that is my natural color at 60 in my avatar!

On the days my 41 year old wedding ring fits, I know I’m at target weight and not retaining H2O.

Hey, thanks for noticing Jane! I’m planning on taking a new pic every couple of months in front of the maps shower curtain so I can compare. I have a nice fat body pic that I’m saving for the big reveal!

What am I supposed to do for new year’s resolutions, now!?
Guess I’ll have to focus on other areas of self-improvement.
Thanks keto!

This probably belongs on the “you know you are keto” thread but I was actually searching for the WORST pictures of me at my one year keto anniversary to show my progress!!!

It’s so sad when they don’t believe your real age. You’ll just have to learn to cope with being mistaken for 15 years younger, sorry!

Personally, I like it when my pants are falling down, it means my food plan is working and I can indulge in some retail therapy for new clothes!

In the summer, mosquitoes don’t bite me any more; I don’t sunburn (which is weird because I am very fair complected and I used to burn within 5 minutes).
This winter, I noticed that I don’t have to bundle up so much outside. I stay pretty warm. Before, even with far too much insulation, I still would be cold outside.

That’s interesting. I used to overheat if I even looked in the direction of the sun and in winter I was finally, FINALLY not hot but this is the first winter that I’m experiencing temperature normally and it’s kind of fun to be cold and bundle/snuggle up!
