About
I was just about to go in for surgery on my wrist for carpal tunnel syndrome. That was just the tip of the iceburg for me. I was on blood pressure meds, had IBS, acne, depression, 251 pounds and hated myself. I cried daily and sometimes wished for death. I thought if this was what it was like to age, I didn't want it. Before allowing them to slice my wrist open I researched anti-inflammatory diet and found keto. BAM!!! Life changer for me
I started keto in January 2018 and started to feel instant relief. The weight was coming off and I lost 61 pounds by November, 2018. I was off of blood pressure meds in 3 months time. I noticed my blood pressure was dropping and I would feel dizzy. I had to adjust electrolytes and come off the meds. I noticed the numbness and tingling in my hand was disappearing and my carpal tunnel had healed. I was told by the surgeon that diet would not help, but it did.
The depression started to fade and I was laughing daily. I used to cry every single day. I could not believe how amazing I felt. My face was clear and glowing. I only used virgin coconut oil on my face. I am 48 and to me, I look better than I did at 22. I feel as if I am reversing in age. With all that said, I started to slip with the sweets after Halloween 2018. I stayed under 200 in ONEderland for a while and thought maybe I can eat a few things here and there....WRONG! I would do keto for weeks and then slip up. The weight started to come back and then I realized I suffered from hypothyroidism. I realized a lot of women suffer from hormone imbalances. Why does our food industry create so much sickness? It saddens me. That is why I spread the goodness of keto and carnivore.
My eczema never really went away and now that I suffer hypothyroidism I want to try Carnivore Level 1. I found out about it through Craig and Maria Emmerich on Keto-Adapted. I am hoping this is the next chapter in my journey to Optimal Health. I am going to do 30 days of beef, salt, and water only. You should join me. I wanted to start on January 1st so I can make some necessary adjustments and fill my freezer with beef. I will blog about it daily.
