Hey,
I’m James, a 47 male who’s been the ‘big guy’ most of my life. A few years ago I noticed my weight really affecting my life and found I was about 450 lbs!
I went vegan for a time as well as trying variations of just eating what we were told was healthy (high carb - low fat). I managed to get down to 370 but got stuck there for about a year. My body just didn’t want to change.
Found out about Keto and was amazed I didn’t hear of this sooner. There was real science behind why it worked. I’ve now been doing keto for almost 3 weeks and I’m down 17 lbs, my blood pressure is going down, my energy is up, and I notice my joints seem less “creaky”.
I’m not 100% better of course but I’m much better off than I thought I had a right to expect after just a few weeks.
Today I started my first fast. I’m trying for 24 hours, mostly to see how I feel and react to it. If things go good I think I’m try for 48 hours and break the fast when my family gets together for Easter.
I look forward to learning more and getting to know people here.
James.
