I haven’t posted here but have been reading faithfully. 62, Keto since September and prefer to think of myself as “vintage”…not old.
Vintage Ladies Keto Klub
I have purple hair, I wear purple… my HDL has not risen because of that.
Someone started this thread with this name, and it doesn’t really seem to fit, but I doubt we can change it now!
Hi Carol. Campbell River here as well. I know quite a few keto folks here!

Looks like we might be able to have quorum for an old ladies keto meatup on the island!
I do one day of IF a week - have to juggle it a bit because my adult children (who I share a house with) get worried if they think I’m ‘starving’ myself, so I tend to do a fast day on a busy work day and just push dinner back by an hour so I’ve done 24 hrs. IF doesn’t seem to help me with fat loss but it has really made a huge difference to blood sugar levels. Again, I’m focussing on the health benefits. I guess after 50 years of eating in way that doesn’t suit my body I have to accept I’ve got a lot of healing to do. Aren’t I lucky that I found a WOE of eating that lets me heal myself instead of becoming progressively sicker?

I think that’s a great idea! I’m in Alert Bay, but I get down to Campbell River on a fairly regular basis. It’d be nice to talk to people about keto without either having to defend myself, or try to convince them they really should give it a go.
We really do have the Island covered. Tracy let us know when you are in Campbell River and maybe we can get together for a coffee. Exciting!
So glad to hear from all of you and know I’m not the only old lady doing keto on the island. A meet up some day would be great. I’d love to have someone to share info and experiences about keto with.
Maybe in Nanaimo some time?
Perhaps we should start our own topic, so we won’t clutter up this space.
Hi Kate,
here is a really good youtube video to share with your adult kids that talks about the science of fasting but is also entertaining. Skip the part at the beginning of the buff guy talking… thats an ad. The video itself is really a good one.
The series is from a channel called “What I’ve Learned”

keto on!
Totally agree, you ladies need a “meat up” in real life:grin:!
But happy to have you chat on this thread. It’s completely open to keto support.

I’m up with that! I am so purple-centric my hubby always knows the answer when I ask “I bought [insert item here]; guess what color it is?”
Lol! I love It! You are da bomb! Every lady here is like fine wine. We just keep getting better and better!
