Why are you a ketonian? (Poll)

(Emilie) #21

Started as a way to lose pregnancy weight and balance my hormones. Now its a way of life because it makes me feel, look so much better plus I believe it will help me from developing heart disease and type 2 diabetes that has plagued so many in my family.

To support my husband who has T2D and is using keto to get better. Finding positive outcomes for myself is a great side effect!

Losing weight was my main reasonā€¦ but soon realized all the many health benefits of keto! Iā€™m getting off meds & no severe GERD since going keto! Labs are great too!

weight loss is my number one reason but also to avoid diabetes since my mom really struggles with this disease.

I feel a little like Bill Clinton asking what the definition of ā€œisā€ is.
In the present tense, my reason for eating keto IS to prevent disease (especially Alzheimerā€™s, which runs in my family, and which really does seem to boil down to insulin resistance in the brain).
In the past tense, me reason for starting keto WAS to address my hypertension (along with other markers of metabolic syndrome).

Initially made the switch as a training diet for an amature athletic event.

Lost 25# of fat as a result and felt better than I had in years, physically & mentally.

Couldnā€™t come up with a reason not to stick with the diet.
