This is not just about Weight Loss.

I started on a Keto diet because I was pre-diabetic and realised that I had to lose weight to survive.  I am also bipolar and was on lithium &  blood pressure medication to try and supposedly keep my condition under control.  This was a death sentence and I  have just lost the last two and half years of my life sat in front of a computer screen waiting to die.  The only thing that has kept me going was my wonderful six year old grandaughter and a very understanding family. 

They have watched me deteriorate from an active individual with a love for life to where I was six weeks ago.  Like myself,  they have been amazed yet perplexed with the transformation already,  I have lost thirty-two pounds in that time and I am almost now that person I used to be,  active, happy and with a joy for life.  I am seventy two years old  and  determined to enjoy the last few years of my life.   My pseudonym is Ketolife, which I know is rather corny,  but for me  succinctly describes exactly who I am.  It has given me back my life and I am determined to reach my target of 12 stone, a weight  I had when I was twenty-one. 

I already feel like a new person and sense a real change in my body.  I have suffered  with depression for over twenty years and have been searching for a cure all of that time.  There a several times when I have thought I had found the answer,  sleep apnea was one that comes to mind.  There was a transformation within  one week, and my CPAP machine raised my hopes,  but despite this my depression returned.   I do not know for sure that Keto is the answer, but for now it feels like the real deal.  This is the best I have felt in over twenty years,  so yes,  the weight loss is fantastic but to get my mind back is sensational !
