Last Christmas Eve, realizing I was probably heavier than I have ever been I dug out an old scale and braved stepping upon it. I was 383.3 pounds, the heaviest I had ever been by a wide margin. So I went on Keto that very day … I was 309.8 this morning.
The motivation … I need both knees replaced from a lifetime of injury. The docs wanted to do one at a time. I said asked "would it take to get both done at once". They said "lose 35 pounds by the end of February". I lost 50! And kept going and will keep going until I hit my goal weight of 270 (which puts me right at 18 - 19% body fat).
I love the diet, and I pay close attention to what I eat. I am covering all the bases macro and micronutrient wise with only supplementing with a multi-vitamin / mineral tab and a bit of extra potassium and magnesium each day. I see no reason to ever change as I have energy, I'm covered nutrient wise and I don't get hungry.
