Everyone who knows me knows I am an extremely disciplined person, so HOW could I be doing all the things I was supposed to do following keto but gaining the weight back???
For about 3 years I’ve been experiencing a Yo-Yo with keto, I lost 60 lbs then I gained 20 of it back and endured a painful struggle with that 20. It is a living torture to be on a “diet” and gaining weight, like wtf.
Finally I hit my breaking point and decided if there was a way for me to just eat whatever I want I would be happy staying the same, if it meant I could get off the constant battle with my body, I just wanted to be content and happy and able to eat the foods I love.
At this same time I decided to get my microbiome tested and with that I found ALL my problems clearly laid out for me. I didn’t have to guess anymore. The answer was clear.
I needed to quit keto.
What I learned shook me to the core. I had been eating ALL the right foods for keto which also turns out were the WRONG foods for my personal gut microbiome and they were setting war on me with constant bloating, pain and weight gain. They were producing toxic gas from the foods I thought were helping me!
Last Halloween I couldn’t get out of bed because I was in so much pain after eating STEAK, and couldn’t figure out WHY. Now I know.
I think keto short term is not an issue but I needed to shift into a more balanced lifestyle once I initially lost that 60 lbs and started plateauing.
My glow up includes ditching all diets, focusing on a flexible eating lifestyle with time restricted eating and fueling my body with abundance of all the foods, I focus on staying in a negative energy balance while my goal is fat loss.
I FUC*ING love my life now. Zero bloating, no pain and I have never felt more free and now the weight is effortlessly dropping! Stay tuned for my ultimate glow up and to see what I’m doing daily watch my stories 🌈 don’t give up on yourself!
