First of all I will introduce myself as succinctly as possible, giving what I consider to be all the relevant information.
I am a 56 year old English guy who is 5ft 8 ins tall. My starting weight was 34 st 4 lb. Six weeks ago I started to simply remove all processed foods and diet drinks from my diet entirely. After two hard weeks I felt better having eliminated all the bad carbs that had made my whole life a miserly. During the past 4 weeks I have become aware of massive gut almost feeling like it has been fired up for the first time on my life. I became aware that it was as if my insides were working properly for the first time ever. It feels good because it’s as if I can feel my system running on a better fuel. So in summary I’ve slipped into this diet almost by chance and after only six weeks I have lost 4 stone. For the first time ever I feel my system is working as it should. I no.longer get tired and I have so.much increased energy, which helps me exercise. I was virtually bedridden just six weeks ago. I was down for baratric surgery in London and they will be amazed when I’m weighed again next month because in all probability it will show I have lost at least 4 stone but at the rate I’m going, probably even 5 or 6 stone in just 8 weeks. I have never enjoyed my food so.much as now. 80.per cent salad and vegatables with the remainder in fish and good meat cuts. I have very little carbs. I have gone from having about 4 litres of Coke Zero a day to having absolutely no diet drinks. I don’t miss them at all as water now tastes so refreshing. Finally, I have sufeed with depression for 20 odd years. Having been.on this beautiful clean healthy eating regime it feels like I can see and think clearly for the first time in decades. It’s as if a big black fug that I was living under has cleared and I feel so.good. My question is does it feel.like I have stumbled on to a keto diet? I asked this because I started out with the simple intention of going low carb by cutting all the processed food from my diet?
