Hi, I’m writing this blog on a topic that I just have to share because it has transformed my wife and me … the ketogenic diet.
My wife hadn’t made any plans to start dieting this year, although we both needed to lose weight, as we have both gained more than 20-25 pounds since we retired in 2013.
What happened was that, at church, the couple sitting behind us shared with us how their wife had lost 8 pounds in about 9 to 10 days on the KETO diet.
Well, it goes without saying that it sparked a conversation about what the KETO diet was and how it works. Without going into every corner about the mechanics of how it works on this blog, they basically explained that the KETO diet puts your body in ketosis. Below is a short description and FREE guide to get started:

Brief description of what is a ketogenic diet
The ketogenic diet is a low carbohydrate, moderate protein, high fat diet that puts the body in a metabolic state known as ketosis.
When your body is in a state of ketosis, the liver produces ketones that become the body’s main source of energy.
The ketogenic diet is also known as the ketogenic diet, low carb, and low carb high fat (LCHF) diet.
So why is it so amazing and why is it taking the world by storm?
Because it completely reverses the way your body works (in a good way) along with changing the way you view nutrition.
It is based on the premise that your body was designed to function more efficiently as a fat burner than a sugar burner.

My wife and I were so inspired and impressed by our friend’s rapid weight loss results and his explanation of the simplicity of what to eat and what to eat, in the sense that it would not seriously alter the way we We eat and enjoy the food that we normally eat anyway. .
Well to make a long story short – we bought some suggested starter foods and prepared our meals as suggested and for our BIG AND AMAZING SURPRISE, in 8 days my wife lost 9 pounds and I lost 11 pounds.
That was 4 months ago and since then we have both lost over 20 pounds and several inches off our waists, hips, and necks – (a complete makeover). It’s a really exciting thing to have friends and family comment on how good we look, and the obvious weight loss can be directly attributed to that. In fact, we constantly sit at the table and are amazed: “how well we are eating.” Too often, we look at each other and say, “I can’t believe we’re eating that well on a diet.”
Now we are hearing throughout our church from other people who have seen my wife and me or heard from someone else about what the KETO diet has done for us, and have adopted it and are getting similar results.
I could do so much more, but as promised, I didn’t want to make this a long blog, I just had to share it with my friends, family, and followers of this blog.
So hopefully this helps and encourages someone if you just need that little push to start shedding a few pounds this year.
